==Appearance and Personality==

==Appearance and Personality==

Koichi has lived alone with his mother since the age of 3, and has apparently never met his father. Once he was in the second grade, he and his mother moved to Apartment 402 of [[Typhoon]]. In Summer of 1998, he befriended [[Hikaru Kobayashi]] when he moved to Typhoon alongside his mother and her boyfriend. Koichi tried to protect Hikaru from the bullying they both received at school, and they often played together in and around their apartment complex. They eventually built a "secret base" in the inner garden underneath a trash can.
