Calm Presence
Kei is a hard-working and determined teenager who always strives to be the absolute best at what he does. He started at the studio when his parents encouraged him to pick up modelling as an extracurricular on top of his already long list of after-school activities. While the pressures to strive for perfection may occasionally bear a heavy weight upon his shoulders, he has found that his close friends have helped to relieve some of the burden.
His journey into adulthood also means that his parents have started to loosen their strict and tough upbringing, thus allowing Kei to have some say over his own decisions. With the recent guidance of his friends and mentors, Kei is gradually working towards developing a more balanced and healthy routine. However, his excelling talents in all his pursued activities means there will be some difficult choices when Kei needs to eventually vacate his timetable for some personal free time.
"My parents made me start doing a lot of things before and after school since I was young, but coming to the studio has been one of my favorites. Most of the people here are really nice, like River and Miguel, and because it's a bit less physical than other sports that I do, and also requires so much less mental focus compared to school, I can really relax here."

Kei: It’s so cold outside. We should have stayed inside and done something at your house. I mean, it wasn’t meant to be this cold today! I can’t even feel my face.
River: Yeah… I wanted to show you a game Scott showed me the other day, but my two older brothers invited all their friends over . . .
