Name: Minori Saitō
Alias: (None)
Age: 16
Grade: Sophomore
Height: 5’9”, 180.34 cm
Weight: 175 lbs, 79.38 kg
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Orange-ish (bleached)
Appearance:
Personality:
One person described Minori as empty. Put in simpler terms, he really just doesn’t give a shit about anything. He automatically runs on routine like a machine, going about tasks despite having zero interest in them. The only reason he does what he does in the first place is because he sees it as necessary to function. If he didn’t see the ability to defend oneself as necessary, he probably would’ve never studied martial arts. Even then he cares little about how flashy a fighting style is. His only concern is flooring an attacker as quickly as possible.
He frequently visits highly rated restaurants which has given some the impression that he’s a bit of a foodie, but in reality he’s pretty much just looking for something to spark his interest. Initially he thought he was interested in food, though after a while he came to the conclusion that it’s more his body’s need that a genuine interest. He’s begun trying to duplicate the dishes he’s eaten, since making them himself at home would take less time than running outside and waiting before eating. Minori’s currently searching for enjoyment, and frequently dabbles in random activities in an effort to understand why others enjoy them so much. He usually ends up abandoning them after a while, though.
Fighting Style:
Minori has studied a variety of marital arts. He dabbled in the basics of Taekwondo, Aikido and Boxing, but found his stride in a mix of Bājíquán and Wing Chun kung fu. Valuing efficiency, Minori’s only concern is hitting the opponent as hard as possible with minimal movement. His personal style is explosive, utilizing Bājíquán’s principle of using every body part as a weapon while opening up the opponent with minimal force and movement via Wing Chun techniques. This makes him the most effective in close range, as this combination of his allows him to use an opponent’s physical power against them while delivering maximum damage from only an inch away.
Lately Minori has also begun studying Tai Chi to further boost his internal strength and increase the explosive power behind his strikes.
He's also proficient with some martial arts weaponry, namely the six and half point pole and butterfly knives used in Wing Chun. The knives are his personal favorite. While he hasn't had the chance to actually use them in an actual fight, he can use objects of similar length and shape as adequate substitutes.

Strengths:
- Minori’s very physically fit. While he may not be the buffest, strongest guy around, he can potentially send someone flying or crack a bone or two with an inch-punch. His lean, compact muscles also let him maintain a good amount of speed along with his strength.
- He’s got some mad cooking skills! After much trial and error, Minori’s become very handy in the kitchen, and takes great care in all the dishes he creates. While he can whip up a decent meal from just about anything, his specialties lie in Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
- Being able to nap anywhere counts as a talent, right?

Weaknesses:
- For the time being, Minori hasn’t been in too many fights. And as for the few he’s been in, he’s managed to end it with one or two quick strikes. Since he’s rarely gotten hit, he’s not used to taking a beating. Yet, anyway.
- Minori’s frequently lost in thought, and ends up spacing out a lot. This leaves his rather inattentive to his situations, which has resulted in him walking into a variety of people and trees. Not to mention stepping into the street while cars are zooming past. Yikes. This also affects his academics. He’s a good learner. He just doesn’t pay attention most of the time.
