He has a lean, athletic build and a focused, somewhat anxious expression. He is wearing a traditional navy blue Japanese high school gakuran uniform with a high collar and gold buttons over a crisp white undershirt. He stands in a modern Japanese suburban setting. The lighting is sharp and clear, highlighting his youthful features and the slight tension in his shoulders. - Kenji: A 17-year-old teenage boy with a short, clean buzz-cut and a wide, friendly grin. He has a sturdy, athletic build and bright, optimistic eyes. He is wearing a navy blue Japanese high school gakuran uniform identical to Hiro's. He is positioned outdoors on a bright street corner. The lighting is warm and golden, reflecting his energetic and happy-go-lucky personality.
