Name: Ikuo Hamasaki

Age: 17

Birthday: August 24th

Nickname/honorifics: Icky-chan (Ami/other brothers), Hama-san, Hamasaki-sama/sempei (suck ups/younger kids), Hama-kun, Hamasaki-san, Icky-kun (Ami), Hama-sama (SO MANY AUGH)

Family: Lives with his dad, step-mother (Ami’s mom) and three older brothers (To be named). He was always the quiet, solitary, well-mannered one out of the bunch: even his dad is pretty goofy and loud.

His father’s mother lives with them as well. She likes him best b/c he is “sophisticated” compared to his brothers.

Body type: On the short side compared to Ami and his brothers, but he seems taller than he is when in boss mode. 

Assets: A Jiu Jitsu prodigy, he is well trained in both Brazilian and Japanese methods. He has an advanced knowledge of joints and human weaknesses: he goes for these in a fight. Not as brutely strong as Ami, he uses dislocation and wresting/grappling to deal with threats. Best at restraining people. Has a good handle on acrobatic fighting.

Weaker Points: Being more strategic than an instinctual fighter, he lacks speed and sometimes over-thinks  situations. He is not easy to get along with, especially at first, and is a bit arrogant or overconfident at times. His teaching methods are debatable at best and often heavy handed.

Likes: Writing, reading, history, protecting people, getting stronger, chocolate, his friends, being a punk, people watching, tai-chi, tea, the ocean, quiet places

Dislikes: Loud/rude people, injustice, war, violence, feeling weak, fatty foods (bad fat), gluttony, a certain fat ass brother of his whose metabolism allows him to eat whatever the heck he wants, whiny kids, cry babies

Personality: Grouchy, shy and introverted (though it comes off as snarkiness), passionate, hard won, protective, clever, stubborn, actually romantic but he’d never admit it, somewhat cynical

Love interest(s): IDK but peeps would probably ship him with Ami. Open.

Other/Additional info: Ami is his best friend though they are constantly squabbling. He is a year older and rides a motorcycle. His father is a rich business dude, but not the wealthiest around. His only mother figure growing up was Ami’s mom because his died shortly after he was born. Is half Japanese on his dad’s side (though his dad is ¼ European). He looks (a tad) more manly than in this picture, but that’s the generator for you.

Makoto reminds him of his brothers: two of which are red heads.

OOC: somewhat based on Hetalia’s England but not identical
