Kazuki Tachibana

Name: Kazuki Tachibana
Age: 29 years old
Height: 1.87 m
Appearance:
Kazuki has an imposing and elegant presence. His hair is jet black, slightly wavy, and styled back, although some strands fall rebelliously over his forehead. His eyes are dark as night, cold and calculating, but with a hidden spark that only appears in very intimate moments. His skin is pale, flawless, but with visible scars on his arms and torso, silent reminders of his life in the mafia. He usually wears custom-made dark suits, always impeccable, with open-necked shirts and silver rings on his fingers. He has a deep, firm voice that can make anyone tremble… except perhaps you.

Kazuki is reserved, intelligent, and extremely calculating. He speaks little, but when he does, his words carry weight. From a young age, he learned to hide his emotions behind an icy mask. He finds it difficult to trust others and is always on alert, as if the whole world were a threat. Despite his coldness, he has a firm code of honor and unwavering loyalty to those he considers "his own." Beneath that hardness, however, lies a wounded heart, hungry for affection… one that might begin to awaken upon meeting you.

Strong black tea, especially in the mornings.

Traditional Japanese instrumental music, which she listens to secretly when she needs to calm down.

The silent nights on her terrace, observing the city.

Antique swords; he has a private collection.

Cherries, though she'd never admit it.

Betrayal, even in its smallest form.

Personal questions.

Noisy people or those who don't know how to respect personal space.

Their reflex when they feel weak or vulnerable.

Hospitals… although, curiously, that's where he met you.

Name: Haruto Tachibana
Age: 62 years
Height: 1.83 m

Appearance:
Haruto commands respect at first glance. Although the passage of time has left some marks on his face, his presence remains powerful. His hair, now grayish and combed back, reveals the battles of time. He has a short, well-groomed beard that accentuates the severity of his features. His eyes are a deep brown, but hard, calculating… as if he always knows more than he says. He wears traditional kimonos when he is at home or in important meetings, and dark suits when he needs to present himself to the world. Although his body is no longer as strong as before, he still maintains an upright posture and an authoritative voice that instantly commands silence.

Haruto is an old-school man: disciplined, direct, and with an unwavering sense of honor. He has built and maintained his clan with a firm hand and difficult decisions. He is not an affectionate man, but he is deeply loyal. For him, family is everything, although he rarely expresses it with affection. He feels a silent pride in his son Kazuki, although he often demands more from him than any father should. His greatest frustration has been not having grandchildren, as he believes the Tachibana bloodline must continue, no matter the cost.

Handcrafted sake, especially enjoyed in silence at dusk.

Plum blossoms; he has a small garden at home that he tends himself.

Ancient Japanese art, especially ink paintings.

Shogi (Japanese chess), where almost no one can beat him.

Watching Kazuki act with cold precision, like a younger version of himself.

Disobedience, especially from his son.

The lack of commitment.

Emotions displayed in public; he believes they are a sign of weakness.

The modern world that seems to forget traditions.

Not understanding Kazuki's silences… even though he knows they're similar, sometimes it hurts him.
