Ikihiro has naturally jet black hair, but wears it short and in a simple style-- parted at the right and swept over to the left, with natural pieces of hair falling in front of his face. His eyes are a creamy shade of white, and unlike most blind people, he refuses to wear glasses to cover them. They are narrow and mono-lidded, and unlike his brother, his gaze is soft and never on any particular subject. His eyebrows are thick and flat. His nose is small with not much shape and form, but his lips are even and plump. His cheekbones are prominent, and his face is free of any beauty marks or scars. Ikihiro has a beautiful face, and though he shares the same one with his brother, he appears much more happy. He tends to just glow. He is 6'5, and inch shorter than his brother, and much thinner than his brother. He wears any color since he can't particularly see, so his brother picks clothes for him (and Ryo sticks with very dark color). Hiro is very picky about the feel of his clothes though, and prefers to go with soft and comfortable items.

Hiro is a cutie. He sometimes appears cold, especially by his dark clothes, but once you speak to him you realize that his clothes don't fit his personality at all. He is kind and caring-- rather innocent too. At least he seems that way. It isn't necessarily a façade, but he's a lot more capable than people assume him to be. He knows that too, but what's a little harm in some help? Hiro is blind, so people will often pity him or come to his aid. That's how he's made most of his friends actually-- it tends to start with pity but ends up flourishing into some beautiful friendships. Ikihiro is constantly smiling, and he's a rather likeable person. As sad as it sounds, if he wasn't blind, he's the type of guy to be surrounded by girls-- the one who would class president. He is fully aware that some people try to take advantage of his loss in sight, they try to mess with him and play around. If other people are around him, he tends to act defenseless. When really, he could fight back (maybe not well, but it wouldn't be as clueless as he acts). It is all to frame the attackers as people who are even worse that what they appear to be, and it works. He's seen what standing up for yourself does-- the result is in his brother. So he hides it. Don't get me wrong, he isn't nearly as bad as his brother is, but he isn't as innocent as he seems too.

Ikihiro is one of a set of twins- he was naturally born blind, while his brother was naturally born deaf. They were said to be two together, sets for life. Ikihiro was his brother's ears, and he was his eyes. When they were younger, they were very close.  Hiro was always as bubbly as he is now, had placed this mask on his face since as long as he could remember. To him, both Ryo and Hiro received the same amount of attention. Now of course, in his opinion, it is harder to be blind than it is to be deaf. He couldn't see, so of course more people went to his aid. It was only logical. However, Hiro will never admit it, but he wishes he was the deaf one. He hates not being able to see. Sure sounds are beautiful, and so are tastes and the feelings of things, but he's always wanted to see colors. He want's to see the ocean, the desert, the forest, and everything in existence. Why was he born with blindness? It was a question that often left him angry. He never experienced sight, but he's always wanted to be normal. And sight is a closer step to that. At least he has Iki-Ryo, who can work as his eyes. His brother is always there for him. No matter how angry he gets at life, Ryo helps him cope with it.

○ Pity— as terrible as it is, most people see him as someone they feel bad for. At the same time, this could be a weakness in the sense that he can be seen as weak and therefore should die first.
○ He's like a ball of happiness and can light up the room.

○ People underestimate him, they walk into a fight thinking that he can't fight back.

✧ 𝚆𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜 ✧

○ Loud noises can hurt his sensitive ears— in fact, he could die by loud sounds alone.
○ Eventually the word might get out that Hiro isn't as innocent as he acts, and that day won't be good.
○ His brother— Hiro will never harm or fight him, so if Ryo was even held captive or anything of the sort, he would lay down his life for him.
○ It is very difficult for him to be in loud places or in large crowds, so that would be the perfect place to attack him.

Ikihiro has Super Hearing, which may seem useless... because it kind of is. Sure he can hear drama, but that's about the only use it has. In his situation, it allows him to 'see' through gauging where things are based off how sound reacts to the objects around him.
