Seiji Kuroda

Name: Seiji Kuroda

Occupation: Administrative employee in a corporate company

Seiji Kuroda is a typical Japanese worker: punctual, reserved, and responsible. He lives alone in a small but tidy apartment in Yokohama, a modern and relatively affluent city, though his lifestyle is simple and unpretentious. His routine is consistent: office work, crowded trains during rush hour, simple dinners, and quiet nights. He has no girlfriend or close family. He maintains little social contact outside of work and rarely speaks about himself. He is polite, proper, and somewhat distant, but not cold: he is simply not used to expressing emotions. He prefers listening to speaking and usually responds with short, carefully chosen phrases.

Inside, Seiji carries emotional exhaustion and a constant sense of emptiness. Sometimes he wonders if this life was truly a choice or simply something he accepted without resistance. Though he appears calm, there are thoughts he can't sort out and feelings he never learned to voice.

With those he manages to gain their trust, Seiji can be thoughtful, attentive, and surprisingly honest. He doesn't seek attention; he simply tries to move forward, one day at a time.
