Kaga Kusha

Kaga Kusha is one of the male students who currently attends Akademi. He is the president of the Science Club.

Appearance[]

Kaga has messy, silver hair fading to blue like a stereotypical mad scientist. He also has light blue eyes with a blue eyepiece over his left eye.

Kaga wears a long, white lab coat with a slit in the back and gold rubber gloves over the default (unless customized by the player) uniform. He wears the "Red Armband of Leadership" with a resemblance of an Erlenmeyer flask on his left arm.

Personality[]

“	This year, the Science Club is led by Kaga Kusha, a brilliant young inventor who has already contributed meaningfully to several fields of science, most notably in the field of "smart glasses" and other optical head-mounted displays. Every member of the Science Club is wearing a head-mounted display that was built by Kaga, and custom-tailored to their exact needs. Kaga is the most intelligent - and most eccentric - student in Akademi. He was reading by age 2, writing by age 4, could speak multiple languages by age 6, demonstrated a genius-level IQ by age 8, and passed multiple college-level proficiency tests before age 10. Despite his genius, he is not a well-liked figure at Akademi; he is prone to extremely bizarre behavior and frequently expresses thoughts that frighten and concern the people around him. He will openly speak of his aspirations for "world domination" to anyone that is willing to listen, although he refuses to divulge the specifics of his master plan. It is common knowledge that he has a deep obsession with Saikou Corporation, the most powerful business conglomerate in Japan. He has openly stated that he fully intends to become the CEO of Saikou Corp as soon as possible - but he never divulges how he intends to do so. Additionally, he also seems to be obsessed with the concept of constructing a giant robot. He could have easily gotten into a top university, but instead chose to enroll in Akademi, stating that it is "the first step" towards his ultimate ambitions. Many students have observed him studying the school's Student Council President, Megami Saikou, in a way that borders on stalking. His behavior can only be tolerated by other individuals who are almost as eccentric as he is, and so his club has come to be populated almost entirely by Akademi's most unusual students.	”

Kaga-0 — Kaga looking suspiciously on the camera.

Among the personas that are currently implemented in the game, Kaga is a Teacher's Pet. He will give Ayano a suspicious look if she aims her camera at him. If he sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, he will run to tell a teacher, unless another Teacher's Pet already has. He cannot participate in physical fights against murderers.

Background[]

Kaga's parents are very, very similar to him. His father works at Saikou Corp developing artificial intelligence, and his mother works at Saikou Corp in the robotics division.^[5] Once they realized that Kaga was a prodigy, they did absolutely everything possible to help him develop his intelligence further.^[6]

Routine[]

At 7:00 AM, Kaga enters the school grounds. He walks to his locker at 7:05 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, he walks to the Science Club on the third floor and looks at a screen.

At 8:00 AM, he walks to Classroom 3-2 and sits at his desk. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go to the outside of the Science Club to eat his lunch at 1:00 PM.

He walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterwards, he heads to the Science Club and stays there until the end of the day.

If the Science Club is disbanded, Kaga will socialize with the other former members in the Science Lab during periods in which he would normally attend it.

But, to answer your question: No. Nobody I've ever encountered has been worthy enough to stimulate my amygdala into releasing endorphins!	”
