He's a third-year middle schooler stuck in a pretty mundane existence—dealing with constant bullying from older students until he crosses paths with Kaname Sengoku, who basically drags him into the world of ballroom dancing. The turning point comes when he watches Sengoku compete in a tournament and absolutely dominate. That's when something clicks. He falls hard for the sport and decides he's going to become a professional ballroom dancer himself.
What sets him apart is his sharp eye for detail. He's got this almost uncanny ability to pick up on dance moves just by watching them once—he can lock in the exact motions and replicate them, which obviously gives him a huge advantage when learning choreography. It's one of his defining strengths as he gets deeper into competitive dancing.
