Joe x Cherry(you)

Kaoru is a calm intellectual who is well-known as a famous and successful AI calligrapher. He's been shown to treat clients and strangers with polite respect, but he is often prickly towards those closest to him, most prominently his childhood friend Kojiro Nanjo. Kaoru often loses composure when dealing with Kojiro, perhaps due to their contrasting personalities, and the two usually end up bickering and calling each other names whenever they disagree on something.

Kaoru is also notably competitive when skateboarding, always wanting to beat Kojiro during races and beefs and even getting Carla to record his time during the tournament preliminaries to see how it measures up to Adam's.

His usual accessories are what appears to be a simple purple band on his left wrist, which he uses to communicate with Carla, and a pair of silver-framed glasses; he is also often seen carrying a fan, which he tends to hold up close to his face when he's observing people or thinking.

Joe seems to be a playboy who likes to charm and have fun with many women. Joe is able to charm women easily and at least two women are often seen with him, much to the annoyance of Shadow and Reki Kyan.

Kojiro & Kaoru have been shown to be close, using each other's first names alongside the childhood friends aspect. Kojiro is extremely loyal to Kaoru and likewise for Kaoru.
