KAORUHIDEKINAKAMURA
“Well, tell me a little about yourself. What’s your name?”
Hello. As I’m sure your little file there says, my name is Kaoru Nakamura. I’m sure the only reason I was given a traditional Japanese name is because my parents wanted to keep the grandparents happy. Neither of my parents actually know more than a few words of Japanese.
As for nicknames, the only one I have is from my twin sister. She calls me Ru-chan.
“Next question, how’s school?”
School is tolerable. I’ve always been at private school, so the course work was a little more difficult. I attended catholic school, to be exact. Somehow both me and Rina ended up being atheists though. Go figure.
My grades were alright. I mean, I never failed anything, but I didn’t get honor roll either. B’s are good though. I stayed eligible for soccer at least.
I didn’t really like the place much, though. Far too strict for my tastes, and they always had a severe lack in vegetarian friendly food.
“What did you do when you weren’t in school?”
As I’ve mentioned, I play soccer. Forward, to be exact. I’m quite good. I was a starter back home.
Off the field, I would mostly hang out with some of the guys from the team, or Rina and I would do our usual thing, fight for animal rights. Some of our friends got involved too, but most didn’t. When we were planning a protest though, we’d always meet in the old fort we made out of old wood from the garage. It was pretty sturdy considering Ri and I set it up when we were 8. The inside is covered in PETA stickers and maps of the area. Rina pasted a few nasty letters we’d gotten from fashion designers near the door too.
Yeah. I’m big into animal rights. I’ve been vegetarian since the age of 9 and have been working with PETA since I was 12. I started out small, but in recent years, I’ve been to several protests. Actually, some of my work is what got me in here.
I read a lot too, but that’s not very interesting.
“Tell me about your friends and family. How are your relationships with them?”
I believe my parents are part rabbit. Allow me to list my siblings. The eldest is Ichirou. 19 years old, an arts major and plays in a rock band. He’s the one that got Rina and I into animal rights. Following him is Hikari. She’s..oh gods…17? I think? Then there is me and Rina. We’re twins. After us is Airi, age 14. Then we have Sora, age 12. Yes, six kids. I get along with them all fairly well. It’s not hard coming from a very easy-going family. We’re all just encouraged to do what we want. Mom and dad are particularly fond of the arts. Like, my sisters Airi and Hikari are both dancers. Rina does drama and art. Sora… he’s just off on planet Sora. Him and his guitar. Our mom is a small time sculptor and dad works in journalism.
For the most part I hang around with Rina and a few others from school. There’s a few guys from soccer, and Rina introduced me to a bunch of people who wanted to help with the animal rights thing. Ri and I have always been the leaders though.
“Well we know about your friends and family, but what do you think about yourself? Describe yourself to me.”
I find myself to be fairly normal. I’m all around average. B-student, played a sport, and just spent my time with friends. That’s normal right? I’m a little quieter than most, but it’s because I just think a lot. No need to waste energy on excessive noise. I like to plan things though.
Looks-wise I’m still average. 5’7” normal build, longish black hair and glasses. Most of my clothes tend to be black or green. I don’t care about my appearance really..
“Have you had any trouble with the law?”
Personally, I don’t think anything I’ve done has been that bad. But, of course, the people I’ve tried to deal with beg to differ. I’ve gotten restraining orders from a few companies and there was the whole ordeal with “inciting a riot.” I would hardly call 5 kids trying to convince a fast food chain to be kinder to animals starting a riot. And then there was the breaking and entering...
“Why did you do it?”
I was just fighting for what I believe in. Is there anything wrong with that? Ok, maybe we could have forgone some of the tactics, but they were used as a last resort. I didn’t even know about the fire til Rina told me to get my ass out of there.
“What is the worst thing you’ve done?”
I’ve lied to my parents many times. I know every kid does, but I’ve always felt bad about it. I guess getting my butt stuck in here is pretty awful too. Mom is a wreck over all this and Dad had some issues at work because of it. I hate the fact that I caused so much trouble.
"What the thing you're most proud of?"
Our first successful petition. Eighth grade and we were trying to get the school to offer veggie friendly lunches. The menu was always meat before that and what could have been salvaged had, you guessed it, meat. So Ri and I got a printable thing from the PETA site and passed it around. The school honored us and stuff. Although, it did leave to me getting the “Asian nerd” label for a while.
"Got any vices?"
That’s a joke right? I’ve never even tasted alcohol. Wouldn’t be allowed to if I wanted to.
“If you could change one thing about your life what would it be?”
I wouldn’t have been so belligerent with the police. But they didn’t need to be so rough in the first place. I would have come quietly. But, of course they felt the need to be rude. So I was rude back.
“What act got you sent here and who recommended it?”
Surprisingly, I’m not here for Arson. That’s what I’d always gotten in trouble for in the past. Allow me to explain, Rina and I are both pyromaniacs. Her case is a bit more severe though. I actually helped her plan what got her here. I was never charged though. She covered for me for some stupid reason.
I’m here for “disturbing the peace” and “harassment.” All I did was send out a few angry letters and start a few protests. I hardly consider that to be a crime.
The judge recommended it and the offended companies agreed. Essentially, they assumed this would get me out of the way.
“Do you deserve to be here?”
No. This is a mad house from what I’ve seen. Last time I checked I was neither insane nor a delinquent. This better not mess up my college chances, by the way.
"Tell me about your life before B.A.D. contacted you."
I was born fourth of the Nakamura children, second of the twins. I’ve always lived in the same little California town, but we’ve switched houses several times. A house that holds a family of 5 will not work so well for a family of 8. Plus pets. The current family home is rather large and on a lake. Not overly interesting.
I attended school and was on the soccer team. On the side, I took music lessons. Piano. I’m not too fond of it. I also tutored my sister. I love her to death, but the girl is a hopeless case. Queen of the ditzes.
I was in the middle crowd all through school, but still had to put up with minimal teasing. The joking kind though, not the mean kind. I am kind of a big target, being Japanese, smart, and a bit of an overachiever. .
