Jousuke Oshiro (Older brother, Deceased)
Backstory: From a young age he has helped his family with the business, which is fishing. They share the port with the Nakamura who treat each other as family, even if they don't always work together. He got good at it pretty fast. One day he got overwhelmed by the heat and fell into the water, his older brother saved him but sadly drowned while doing so. The event traumatised Kousuke who's personality did a 180 to protect himself from the pain, since he kept seeing his parents depressed about Jousuke. He didn't want them to worry about him so he changed to be more like his brother, the old Kousuke died with his brother.
Kousuke doesn't like loud noises since he was small, so he was given headphones by his parents. He also uses them so he can block out the memories of the day his brother died, even if he doesn't always listen to music, he never takes them off. He usually fishes with Kai, he always gets lost in thought when he is alone, so he likes to keep him company. Kousuke's family let him catch most of the fish thinking it might help him not be stuck in his thoughts. They can see he suffers even if he tries to act strong.
Other/Trivia:
• Has a fear of drowning.
• Wears a straw hat when fishing, if you want to find him look for the hat.
• Helps his family early in the morning by fishing then goes to Gama Gama to help out.
• If someone, that isn't him or Kai, removes his headphones he will go into a full on panic attack. Kai has witnessed him doing that and watches out for the boy. After Gama Gama closes down he slowly but surely pushes himself and he finally can go around without his headphones, even if he doesn't like to not be without them.
• Thanks to helping at Gama Gama, Kousuke found that he liked to look after sea creatures. After talking with Kai he decided to join him and Kukuru and work at Tingaara. He like Kai got the position Attendant in charge of fish.
• Usually gets nightmares from the day his brother died, he was hardly conscious then, all he remember was his brother grabbing him. The nightmare is usually he gets grabbed around the throat, then he wakes up breathing heavily. This resulted in Kousuke getting up early everyday.
• When he looked into the water, like when Kukuru saw her parents, Kousuke saw his brother. He was with Kai talking when he stopped speaking, that confused the boy who looked at him to see he was crying. Kai was shocked and when Kousuke seemed to come back to reality he cover his eyes as his body shook. Kai still doesn't understand why the boy cried even if he explained what he saw. He seemed to look more at peace after seeing his brother. He found out that Jousuke was happy he saved him back then, he wished for Kousuke to live happily.
