Personality

Before he was reborn into a dog, Kazuhito was polite and would get overly enthusiastic about books. He would get so enthusiastic about them he actually recommended Madoka Harumi (Kazuhito's younger sister) to read books and talk about it to her all day (only Akiyama -Shinobu books though). However, he could appear to be rude to people at times when they badmouth about books. As he would tell them a 2-hour long story about the history of books and what value they carry. Despite being a reader of many different kinds of books. He can be an airhead sometimes. As he does not notice that Kirihime Natsuno has feelings for him. But he has a rather comical side of him as well. Where he would sometimes make jokes about Natsuno's "flat chest", much to the annoyance of her. He is also incredibly selfless, as he gave his life defending a total stranger who was about to be shot.

Background

Kazuhito's parents, Madoka Harumi (Kazuhito's younger sister) and a cat named Tama had moved to Okayama due to his father's work, leaving him to live in Tokyo alone so that he could continue his obsession for reading by purchasing books on the release date (Living away from Tokyo means a later release date for books). He had met the condition of securing a place at a renown and highly-competitive high school in Tokyo so that he could live alone in an apartment called Sumiya Apartments in Shin-Inaba that is owned by a distant relative who is a cute blue-haired lawyer.

Evidence was shown she would even go so far to risk her life in front off a car traffic to save him, as well as getting overly jealous when seeing him with other women or feeling uncomfortable when he gets closer to her.
