[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name: Kouji Yajima
Nicknames: Kitten (not by choice)
Age: 16
Orientation: Hetrosexual
Desired Rank/Job: Student
Powers: Shape-Shifting and Kitten Attraction
Kouji can turn into an orange kitten at will, and sometimes this happens randomly or on accident. Also, kittens seem to follow him at times, he's cannot communicate or understand them, and has no idea why they seem to be attracted to him. As a cat, he still thinks like his normal self, but cannot talk to people.
Side-effects include disorientation, painful transformations, getting stuck as a kitten at times, and having to save kittens who follow him into risky situations (like soccer games). When he transforms into a cat, his clothes do not transform with him, and so when he transforms back into a human, he doesn't have clothes.

The Details

Eye Color: Dark brown
Any Piercings? Left earlobe pierced once
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? Typical scars from playing sports, the worst is on the middle of his left calf.
General Appearance:
Kouji is your typical athlete. He is five feet and nine inches tall, and is in very good shape due to soccer and track. He’s not overly muscular, and is often told he looks a little small for your typical American athlete, but he is quite strong despite this. Because he is often found outside, Kouji has a slight tan. His eyes are a very dark brown. Kouji’s hair is naturally a dark brown, but he dyes it to a brownish orange. It's typically kept in a messy, but stylish way.
Kouji likes bright colors, so you'll very rarely find him wearing dark colored clothes, unless it is as part of a sports uniform or for a special occasion. Normally, he dresses casually - wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers. Long sleeves bug him, so he usually doesn't wear long shirts or even sweatshirts; he also owns a lot of short sleeved jackets. People often tell him his style is more Japanese than American, but he doesn't think of his style defined to a certain culture - he just wears what he likes.
As a kitten, he is an orange tabby cat with white paws.
Personality:
Kouji absolutely loves soccer, and wants to play for professionally as a career. Most people will learn this after first meeting him, but he isn't your typical jock. He loves hanging out with friends and is extremely loyal to those close to him. If someone were to insult or hurt a friend, he would confront them in a heartbeat.
Kouji is one to always try to look on the bright side and have a smile on his face. Even during bad times, he'll try to be as positive as he can, otherwise he has trouble handling it. He hates having to make serious and major decisions and often puts them off which tends to cause problems in the long run, but he would rather stay in a happy mindset then deal with reality. He's also very honest to people and isn't afraid to express his emotions. Because of this, he has often been mistaken for being gay.
If someone were to challenge him, Kouji would almost never back down. He loves a good challenge, and can sometimes get a bit too competitive at times. He enjoys winning, and can be a poor sport about losing. It isn't uncommon for him to lose his temper after losing to somebody, especially if he thinks they haven't worked as hard as he did.

History
Kouji and his fraternal twin sister, Kana, were born on August 8th in Tokyo, Japan. The two of them grew up living in California during the school year and in Japan during the summers. Yuko, their mother, taught Japanese to high school students in California, and then taught English summer classes in Japan, so they went back in forth. Takaya, their father, worked from home as a translator for a Japanese publishing company. Living in two different countries seemed normal for the twins, and Kouji really enjoyed it.
Kouji started to get interested in soccer at a very young age. He was enrolled in soccer program when he was five, and has been dedicated every since, playing during summer programs and in school. Kana and him had a relatively normal childhood other than moving back and forth between Japan and the United States. As children, they fought like normal siblings, but they grew closer over time.
Kouji's powers manifested when he was twelve - a week after Kana's did. While the recruiter was at their house, Kouji had turned into a cat for the first time right in front of the recruiter. Luckily it happened when someone around knew what was going on, because Kouji had completely freaked out and hid under the couch. He had remained as a cat for over an hour before turning back. After that, him and Kana were brought to Hammel. It was decided that they would attend Hammel instead of Eisai gakkō for two reasons; one being that the twins resided in the United States more than in Japan, and their powers manifested while they were in the United States as well.
While attending Hammel, Kouji continued to play soccer. His grades aren't the best, but he makes sure they're good enough to keep himself on the team. He has gained a bit better control over his powers, but at times he turns into a cat unwillingly and he doesn't seem to have any control over when cats start to follow him.
