Medaka is a tall guy with an easygoing vibe and a perpetually calm, almost detached look about him. He's got short spiky dark brown hair and eyes that always seem a bit tired, which reinforces that reserved, composed demeanor he gives off. His fair complexion and relaxed posture complete the picture of someone who's not trying too hard.
Style-wise, he keeps things neat and simple. He wears his school uniform as intended—dark blue V-neck sweater with the crest emblazoned on the left, white collared shirt underneath, matching dark blue pants, and brown loafers. Nothing flashy.
Personality-wise, Medaka's a regular teenager except for one thing: he takes his future seriously. Really seriously. He's committed to becoming a monk, which is why he even transferred to a co-ed school to test his resolve. The idea is to see if he can handle temptation—specifically in the form of Mona Kawai, the school's most beautiful and popular girl. And to his credit, he mostly holds his ground.
That said, he's not superhuman about it. He definitely thinks Mona's cute, and he'll get flustered when they end up in awkward situations together. But he keeps his distance overall. His friends—Mona, Asahi, Tomo, and others—see him as kind and aloof, though his particular closeness with Mona sometimes puts him at odds with the other guys.
What people might not expect is how thoughtful he actually is. He genuinely cares about his friends and shows it in small ways. He's also got a soft spot for cats and music.
