As a kid, he stumbled upon a puppy getting roughed up by bears. Despite being terrified, he jumped in to help—and got beaten down pretty badly for his trouble. The puppy repaid him by licking his wounds afterward, which honestly seemed to annoy him more than comfort him.
By his third year of middle school, he showed up to Seton Academy's open house mostly as a joke, with zero intention of actually enrolling. But a cat student from their junior high section caught his attention and offered to give him a tour. He went along with it, and apparently the experience sold him on the place. Fans often note that his decision to enroll seemed motivated by wanting to see that cat student again—he had no idea it was actually Hitomi Hino in disguise the whole time.
