Ryuji Kamisaki (カミザキ ライウジ)
occupation: ceo of hisakata productions, a kyoto-based support tech empire.
backstory: he was denied entry into hero high schools in japan due to being quirkless. he moved to korea at 15 after getting accepted into a korean support course program. he met hana at 16.
fun fact: he's actually really soft-hearted. he cried when he saw izumi's first hero uniform prototype and added a support brace to the costume because the knee angle was a few degrees off. also his company's built completely from scratch. he started off with nothing and worked his way up. he worked hard to earn sponsors, and his hard work's paid off!

quirk: dew — the ability to increase the amount of moisture particles in the air within a limited radius.
occupation: florist and small business owner (kyoto-based boutique)
backstory: she attended a regular high school and university with supportive parents who encouraged her art. she met ryuji when she was 15!
fun fact: when izumi announced that she got into shiketsu on a scholarship, hana hugged her so tight she couldn't breathe. she always makes bento boxes with the cutest doodles and notes inside for her kids. she's really warm and intuitive; she can read her kids (and husband) like a book. also she smells like fresh rain.

Izumi Kamisaki (カミザキ イザミ)
quirk: hydrokinetic conductivity — the ability to control existing water, including vapor, ice, and trace water in living matter.
ethnicity: japanese-korean (mixed)
status: 18 years old, recent shiketsu high grad, now attending WHTU.
track: hero course with a focus on stealth and rescue ops.
fun fact: she inherited her mother’s adventurous spirit and her father’s precision-engineering mind… plus stubbornness from both sides.

Kaito Kamisaki (カミザキ ケート)
quirk: rupture — can manipulate blood cells to clot, repair, or (in rare cases) burst under extreme pressure. it's not like bloodbending; it involves controlling the fluids within the blood cells (not the blood itself!).
ethnicity: japanese-korean (mixed)
status: 14 years old, aspiring neurosurgeon.
backstory: he's terrified of hurting others with his quirk, so he's chosen to heal instead. he wants to change the world with science—not combat.
fun fact: he texts “ur cringe but ily” to izumi after watching her combat compilations on youtube (he's secretly her biggest fan).
