White Room (formerly) APPEARANCE He is considered to be very handsome, as was mentioned in the light novels, by Kikyō Kushida, that he ranked 5th in ikemen amongst the first-year boys. This is somewhat confirmed as he has attracted the attention of many girls in his class, some of whom are even very popular.[1] Kei, before she officially started dating him, said he is considered to be in the top 10 of the hottest boys in the entire school. Satō finds him hotter than even Yōsuke Hirata despite being rejected by Kiyotaka. He also has an incredibly well-built body, which was pointed out by Suzune Horikita at the swimming pool. She noticed the immense muscular structure of his body and his arms, particularly his lower arms, and questioned if he did sports, to which he adamantly denied. The reason for this is most likely due to the extensive training he went through as a child in the White Room.[2] Most of the time, he is shown to express a lackadaisical and idle look, which gives off an unconcerned attitude. This can be interpreted as indifference or a relatively passive demeanor to his peers. It is shown in a flashback, that even as a child he possessed a similar unmoving expression that he would keep until adolescence.[3] Many see him as someone who is devoid of emotions as he has never once cried or smiled in their presence calling him abnormal. PERSONALITY Kiyotaka is an inconspicuous and unobtrusive student, and while his grades are average (on purpose), he possesses a sagacious ability to read the emotions of people around him with pinpoint accuracy and either helps or destroys them.[1] Despite his apparent laziness and lack of interest about everything and everyone, Kiyotaka is actually a highly intelligent individual, often pulling the strings behind the scenes. He is well-versed in history as he has quoted many historical figures who are all well known for their intelligence.[4] He tends to come up with ingenious and imaginative plans such as using the school rules so that he could obtain old test questions from an older D-Class student by paying him 15,000 points.[5] He also used the rules and the purpose of points to bribe his teacher into stopping the expulsion of Ken Sudō.[5] In fact, it is hinted by a select few that he could have easily been placed in a higher class like A-Class if he actually applied himself. He is somewhat socially awkward, as he is terrible at communicating with people and fails at correctly associating with them.[6] As a result, he speaks in a very monotonous way (in the anime) and tends to isolate himself from his peers, not getting involved with social activities. These traits tend to leave an impression on others that he is cunning, uncaring, breezy, and carefree, while also hinting at aloofness, latency, or generally a sense of apathy towards anything besides issues that specifically concern him.[1] That is why some people in his class still finds him to be an enigmatic presence despite having been with him for over a year. However, he is shown to be capable of sustaining some conversations, though in a somewhat dull and monotonous fashion, as shown in his interactions with Kikyō Kushida and his other classmates.[7] Though he does put more effort in conversing with those he is truly close with and deep-down cares for them surreptitiously. He appears to keep his word as he promised Airi Sakura that he would come to her aid when she needed it, a promise well-kept as he rescued her from a pedophilic stalker. He also promised Suzune that he would get her to get to A-Class even though it was forced.[3] Kiyotaka put his plan into action by assisting Suzune which in turn sheds some of her cold nature and allow her to open up to others, which had partially worked as he helped her get mass popularity after the island survival test. In his anger, Kiyotaka is not above threatening people as he refused to comply with Sae Chabashira's order for him to aim for A-Class after stating to have been asked to expel him at the request of an unknown person later revealed to be his father. During this moment, he said his dislike of being manipulated as he even resorted to threatening her and grabbing her by the collar, unafraid that she was a teacher who could have expelled him for assault.[10]Due to the upbringing in the White Room, he has come to see everyone around him as a tool and is only intent on winning above everything else. He does not mind manipulating others nor concerning himself with sacrificing a pawn as long as they help obtain his goal. Because of this mindset and his actions, it is unknown whether he really cares for those he has befriended or if he just gained their trust to use them.[11] It has been shown that he didn't have any emotions to begin with, as he had an untouched heartbeat during a fight with multiple fighters or while receiving praise by his father. His tendency to feed his intellectual curiosity, leads to apathy towards the feelings of other people, as he believes it is irrelevant to his learning and his self.[12] BACKGROUND Almost everything about Kiyotaka's life before the entrance exams is unknown. However, during a flashback, he was shown to be part of a group of kids involved with an unknown organization called the White Room, headed by his father. He appeared to have maintained his stoic expression even as a child, as he showed no emotion and looked on when another child, situated at his left, had difficulty breathing and probably fainted for reasons unknown.[3] There was also a time when his father had approached and told him that "those who don't reveal their talents are fools."[9] From his time there, Kiyotaka underwent various training regiments, presumably including martial arts, while taking heavy and challenging written examinations giving him both extreme physical abilities and mental prowess. As time went on, more children started suffering like the fainted child, Kiyotaka eventually became the lone survivor of the group. His training led him to believe that all humans are nothing, but tools and that victory is all that matters in the world. With this point of view, he became determined to win no matter what and sacrifice anything or anyone to achieve his goal of obtaining victory. His father was pleased with his success, believing that his son would be the greatest in the world.[11] QUOTE “I've never once thought of you as an ally. Not you. Not Kushida. Not Hirata. All humans are nothing but tools. It doesn't matter how it's done. It doesn't matter what needs to be sacrificed. In this ruthless world, winning is everything. As long as I win in the end..That's all that matters.”
