Yoshitaka Soma

Persona
Danzaburou-Danuki is a slender red raccoon that stands on his two back legs at about 2 feet tall. He wears an oversized black kimono with a long red haori draped over shoulders. He also has a baby blue scarf that is wrapped several times around his neck with both ends draped over both shoulders. He also holds onto a black kiseru (japanese smoke pipe) between his index and his middle finger; frequently taking puffs from it.

Personality
Yoshitaka is relatively mischievous, but it may not seem as obvious because he hides it behind a cool(ish) demeanour. He tends to be slightly more outgoing but most people find him a bit unpleasant, mostly because he enjoys pushing other people's buttons (especially the quiet and serious types). It takes a lot to truly annoy or anger him and he tends to brush off or play along with insults or jokes. He is also a small time kleptomaniac who specializes mostly in pick pocketing small items. He also has an almost inhuman memory and will remember close to anything that he comes in any sort of contact with but he will often hide this fact about himself. Asides from his these things he is relatively laid back about most things and doesn't get too stressed or worried that much. He also enjoys and excels at most things related to playing cards and has an absolute undying love for sweets.

Background
Yoshitaka never had what many people would consider a good lifestyle. His father was a yakuza henchman and his mom left his life early in his childhood and no longer acknowledges his existence. To make matters worse he was born and raised in a district of Tokyo known as Kabukicho, a centre for all sorts of businesses run by the yakuza. Due to the nature of his father's "work" he became a spectator to Japan's underworld and became closely attached to it. As he got older he even became involved in his father's "organization" himself, most of which involved casino work. All seemed okay (at least in his eyes) until he cheated another gang out of their money. They were outraged, and attacked Yoshitaka leaving him on the borderline of death. Distraught of the state of his son, Yoshitaka's father decided that they were to leave Kabukicho and return to his rural hometown once, Inaba when Yoshitaka fully recovered to get away from the lifestyle that they became accustomed to. Yoshitaka now lives at one of his father's childhood friend's home due to the bad relationship that his father and his grandparents hold.
