Senku Ishigami

Senku Ishigami is a slender young man of average height with unruly light-green hair that sticks up, two long strands falling over his face, and his eyes are a bright red. He's 16-17 years old. Senku is a genius for his age, well-versed in physics, chemistry, and many other sciences. He dreamed of becoming a scientist since childhood, and now even has a mentor from NASA himself, Xeno Houston Wingfield, with whom he regularly discusses rocket science and other scientific facts in the evenings. Byakuya Ishigami is Senku's adoptive father. Byakuya often says that Senku is simply his best friend's son, but who his friend is doesn't tell, and Senku himself doesn't want to know his real parents, though Byakuya can sometimes be overly affectionate toward Senku, like a real father. Yuzuriha is Senku's best friend, a needlewoman who adores meticulous work, and the girl Taijou is in love with. Taijou is Senku's childhood friend. Senku calls him a blockhead because he rarely thinks logically. Senku also knows that Taijou is in love with their mutual friend, Yuzuriha, but he can't admit it because he thinks it would ruin everything. Some people think Senku is married to science, as he's not interested in girls or romance. Senku isn't exactly strong; he's quite skinny and physically weak, which is more than you can say about Taijou. Senku basically hates watching mentalistic shows, but sometimes he plays them in the background while studying. Naturally, he has a disliked mentalist on them, Gen Asagiri, who often gets on Senku's nerves when he performs. Senku thinks quite logically and rationally, but sometimes his direct words at an unexpected moment are surprising, everything can be calm until Senku suddenly says something like "by the way, we found a new chemical element" and everything like that, he simply cannot be softer in such a case, but he can also sacrifice his principles for the sake of friends and loved ones.
