Background[]
- Before being transferred to Mikagura Academy, Kyoma attended an unnamed sister school of Mikagura which is renowned for their sport club activities. Although his impression was as frightening as he is now, he had a straightforward attitude and was liked by everyone around him, like a leader to his group. A lot of clubs used to ask for help from Kyoma, and since he did not join any clubs, he never declined a request, nor worry about his points as long as he could help his friends. He thought that if he was helpful to a lot of people, they would be his friends.
- At some point, he met Shigure Ninomiya, who was his first opponent in an opposition battle. After their match ended and resulted in a tie, they became friends.
- Knowing that Kyoma did not belong in any clubs, and therefore didn't have a room for himself, Shigure invited him to share his own room that was given by Kendo Club and Kyoma accepted it.
- When the Rookie Battle started, even more clubs were asking for his help. Although he was skilful, he couldn’t only accept one club request so he decided to turned them all down. This resulted in people whom he trusted and believed to be his friends to spread bad rumours about him. Kyoma eventually heard about them, as well. Since then, he became more and more reclusive and started to not attending class no longer accepts requests for help from any clubs. He secluded himself, and start scribbling on his notebook every time he felt he had to let his feelings out. Even Shigure, who lived together with him and shared his pain by letting him speak out whenever Kyoma wanted to, start to be distrusted by him for no apparent reason. In the end, Kyoma finally moved out from Shigure's room and transferred to Mikagura Academy. Although time passed and Shigure also knew that Kyoma was being transferred too, just like him, they could not talk to each other as close as they did.
- At some point after being transferred to Mikagura Academy, Kyoma joined an art club there. He also became a patron for Seisa Mikagura, who was a member of art club at that time. Kyoma was awarded many trophies and certificates because of his talent. He also had a masterpiece named [Innocence]. However, he was described to have an "imperfect talent", and that his newer works "lack touch" compared to his previous works When he tried fixing his works, critics gave him a contradictory comment, saying that his work looked out of fashion, it made critics difficult for Kyoma to deal with, since all they did was pressured him while not considering his efforts. He also knew that they only treated him well on the outside while saying bad things behind his back, just like his so-called-friends did when he was still in sister school academy.
