CHARACTER Character Name: Osamu Kimizuka Canon: Loveless Age: 12 Timeline: Volume 04 – Chapter 20 Items with character at canon point: Clothes, glasses, photo album, camera. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: This is a non-issue for now.
Personality: Osamu Kimizuka is a character from Ritsuka’s past who is shown in only chapter currently to highlight and underline key aspects of his own personality. In a way she acts as a foil to his traits and is a means to give a glimpse into Ritsuka’s forgotten past. The first and most apparent trait exhibited by Osamu is her independence. In order to find Ritsuka, Osamu would have had to research where he moved to and what school he was most likely to attend would be. She then took it upon herself to travel alone from the inner part of the city to a more rural ward. When she arrived, much like Soubi when he was first introduced, she waits outside the school completely alone until she sees him walk by. It is also commented on that she does not have many friends and given the lack of hurry home even as it starts to get late and dark, one could assume that she is either a latch key kid or that her parents are not very attentive to her whereabouts and she enjoys a great deal of freedom. The fact that she took the initiative to skip school, and travel that distance on her own without anyone shows that she is capable and comfortable acting on her own and lives a rather independent lifestyle.
With the independent lifestyle come a few oddities and quirks naturally. First is her name Osamu, this is generally a boy’s name and is something that she seems rather self-conscious about; claiming to only allow Ritsuka to call her by it though she does also grant Yuiko special permission as well. Like Ritsuka, Osamu is something a photography lover, though she prefers still life and taking pictures of places and things rather than people; with the exception of an occasional candid shot of others when they’re not looking. She only wants to take pictures of things in their natural state rather than an artificial one; which is why she doesn’t like taking pictures of people as they pose and smile rather than having a true or natural expression of who they are. Her preference for the natural state of things leads her to be rather blunt as well, having no problem guessing and discussing other people’s appearance or personality, freely pointing things out that can at times seem a bit insensitive or off color even though she means no offense by it. At the same time though she likes to play around and make jokes about things as well; going so far as to pretend a simple quirk between friends is a really deep and important secret.
Osamu is someone who doesn’t make friends very easily, but once she does she cherishes their friendship. This is the reason that she sought Ritsuka out, because he was an important friend to her; and why she has no problem sending pictures to Yuiko though the other girl sees Osamu as a love rival. With her friends Osamu smiles, laughs and is very open. She picks up on the subtleties of who they are and what they would usually behave like, being able to easily identify whether something was their idea or something that someone else came up with and they’re adjusting to. With those that she doesn’t know she can be very standoffish and cold, often giving them little more than a side-glance. She has no problem talking to strangers, though she doesn’t have very much interest in people in general; falling back on her independent nature which may come from necessary self-reliance.
She is a child, but one that is able to take care of herself and put together a plan to accomplish what she wants. Despite her youth she is intelligent and well composed a bit rash but at the same time cautious and observant.
History: Osamu is the first born child of her family and an only child, she was born to parents that were a little older and father who had desperately hoped that he would have a son. Even though she was not the boy that he had hoped for her father still gave her the name Osamu, and still pushed the expectation for her to study hard and master all that she did. As an only child, Osamu was never babied and was raised in a pretty cold environment, taught to appreciate what was around her and to keep her eyes open to the world around her.
In school she always remained at the top of the class, joining the photography club after looking through an album of abandoned construction zones and buildings that were left in disrepair. From that time on she took up photography and enjoyed sneaking off to take pictures of various places around Tokyo and learning how to develop pictures on her own. Making the most of her name, she would occasionally cause trouble by sneaking into the boy’s line during physical exams or confusing new teachers when changing grades. At home she was left to her own devices and allowed to what she wanted and was provided pretty much anything that she asked for from her parents so long as she continued to do well. It was this independence and self-reliance that she recognized in Ritsuka; fostering a friendship with one of the only other people that seemed to share her passion for pictures. She was drawn to his expression and the way that she could seem to relate to how he seemed to feel.
Once he moved away Osamu spent a little time with a few other kids around the photography club, working on various albums and maintaining her grades. However, over time she became more and more curious how he was doing after the tragedy of what had happened. In speaking with the teachers eventually she found out the school that he transferred to and resolved to visit when she had a chance. For several weeks she waited until an afternoon where she really wouldn’t miss anything in afternoon classes and hopped on the subway out to the ward where Ritsuka’s school was, getting directions from the internet the night before and planning out the route she would need to take.
After seeing him and making friends with Yuiko though Osamu was confident that he was alright and was in good hands. With the friends that he had she wouldn’t need to worry about him and looked forward to seeing him smile more rather than the brooding expression she had always seen him with.
Abilities: Osamu is skilled at taking and developing photographs.
