Jose Sciuba

From an early age, José demonstrated an incredible understanding of mathematics, earning the nickname "A Calculadora Humana"—the human calculator—among his classmates. His family and peers supported his participation in the Olympíada Brasileira de Matemática, the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad, where he earned a record number of gold medals. He then competed in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1988, where he scored a perfect 42/42, single-handedly winning the competition for Brazil.

That year, the Olympics were held in Australia, and the trip to another country awakened something in José—an overwhelming desire to visit as many countries as possible and see the world as fully as possible. Around this time, offers of admission began pouring in from countless academies and universities; they considered him one of those rare geniuses capable of changing the world, born only once or twice a century, and they eagerly awaited the moment they could welcome him to their institution and see what breakthroughs he could make.

One invitation caught his attention—an offer to attend the world-renowned Akademi Academy. For as long as he could remember, Jose had always been fascinated by Japanese culture and aesthetics, and he studied Japanese in his free time. So, of all the available options, he chose Akademi. He immediately began intensive Japanese study, aiming to arrive at Akademi with sufficient language proficiency to succeed.

Jose wears the student council uniform.

He has short, curly dark hair, olive eyes, and tanned skin. He wears a red armband on his left arm with the words "生徒会," meaning "student council," written on it.
