Name: Keito Yamada
Nickname: The Comic Stooge
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Season: Summer
Element/Powers: None
Human Form Description: Stands at 5'7 with smooth Japanese features and warm caramel eyes. Dark chocolate hair flows in feathery layers framing his face and ending curved out a few inches below the shoulders in the back. The shorter sides curve inward around his face giving style that's both unusual on a guy and elegant. Yet everything else about him says he's just another average Japanese American guy. He likes to wear Asian influenced shirts, comfortable pants with plenty of pockets, and he refuses to give up his love for Converse sneakers. On occasion he has been known to dress with a bit more 70s flair. He claims his hair is a mix of retro America, and the old Japanese custom of using the length of one's hair to show one's pride.
Personality: Keito is admittedly a comedian as well as a computer geek and lover of video games, anime, and manga. His favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy 7, and his favorite series is Chobits.
Keito is a notorious prankster, who will stop at nothing to do the most outrageous things just to be funny. Though often times the laughter from his two best friends comes later in "hey remember when" conversations. Some may even call him perverted, but that is all just a mask used to amuse others and himself.
Aside from being the funny man of the trio, Keito is also extremely compassionate, friendly, loyal, and protective of his friends and family to a degree that most don't realize until they learn what he's been through. In rare, candid moments, Keito has been known to shed his mask and bare his scars and fears. He is, after all, only human.
Though he often presents himself to friends and the public as a perverted young man, the truth is, he's actually quite bashful about relationships. He is well known for pulling some sort of stunt in the middle of a date just to get his date to dump him. Keito doesn't really know how to go the extra mile after watching what his stepfather did to his mother. Though they suspect he has issues with romance, his friends Zach and Dave don't even know the depth of his fears of getting physically involved. Including the fact, that Keito, despite his act, has never been intimate with a woman due to those fears.
History: People think Keito makes jokes just to get attention. The truth is, he makes jokes to keep himself and others from caving into darkness. His father died in a car wreck when he was 14 and his younger brother Niki, was only 5. The family was devastated, but his mother Suzuna was determined to move on. She eventually met another man whom she married. Everything was fine until just after the Honeymoon when the new husband began to show his true colors. It started with simple verbal attacks, but when it became physical, Keito stepped in, goading the man into hitting Keito instead of Suzuna and Niki. It was on a particularly violent night when Keito's friends finally lead police in to bring an end to the abuse. The man found an ironic death in a prison brawl where he got a deadly taste of his own medicine.
Since then, Keito has been the man of the family for his mother and little brother. Even though he no longer lives with them, he is often over for family dinner, picking his brother up from school, and helping his mother with the lawn and other big jobs. Keito will never speak of the awful events his family went through to others. Thus it usually comes out through one of his friends.
Keito has no real aspirations for himself. He considers each day that he and his family can wake up without injuries and illness to be a triumph. Just to live happily with family and friends is good enough for him.
Additional: Usually, Keito is played in tandem with Zach and Dave.
