One of the supporting characters in "So Distant".

He was adopted from a foster home and now lives with his stepmother, stepfather and stepbrother.
Ikuo is mature for his age and outwardly has it together, but deep down, he's incredibly homesick and misses his real mother.

Relationships with other OCs:
Naoyuki - His stepbrother. Ikuo is cold to him at first because he feels like he's stealing his stepparents away, but later softens toward him.
Taki - She only approaches him at first to ask about his stepbrother, but Ikuo slowly starts to confide in her about things he doesn't tell anyone else.
