I SEE YOU WERE VICTIM TO MY IMPROVED NINJA SKILLS AFTER AKI CAUGHT ME SNEAKING ONTO THE LAST WORKSHOP... kidding!

I have his mom side handled (he's cousins with Mutsunokami, who's Ryoma Sakamoto's sword and gumisword rival), but they can def be cousins/distant relatives on his dad's side! He'd happily keep quiet about it for Aki, but he can try to get along with her though...visiting the arcade? He'd want to check on her and made sure she's okay!

you can have a cute faux-touto
