Background
Shiyu is the son of Ichiro and Ema Aimoto. His father was a salaryman while his mother stayed at home and took care of the household and him. When Shiyu was 8 years old, his mother had a pressure imbalance in her heart which led to having life-threatening pulmonary edema which ultimately caused her death. After his mother passed away and Ichiro went back to work after the funeral services were completed, he left Shiyu in the care of his uncle, Ken. Ken taught Shiyu archery just to help keep occupied but Shiyu grew to enjoy it. The kids in his uncle’s neighborhood invited him to play basketball and after a moment of thinking, he accepted the offer, and he enjoyed playing with them.
When Shiyu was 15, he was recruited on the street to become a model by the Beaux Rêves modeling agency and after much consideration, he asked his father for permission that evening and when his father asked why, he said he wanted to make money and save up to be a cardiologist, after hearing his reasoning, his father said, “Just do as you please.”
Shiyu wanted to get earrings like his uncle and got his ears pierced when he was 16 when his uncle accompanied him to a piercing shop where his friend worked at. His father was disappointed to see his son had his ears pierced but when he learned his younger brother accompanied Shiyu to get his ears pierced, he just said “Just do as you please.”
In Jūban Junior High, he was the shooting guard, and his jersey number was #7 and in Jūban High, he still plays as the shooting guard and his jersey number is #6. Near the end of the following year, he became the vice-captain of Jūban’s boys’ basketball team.
Relationships
Family
Ichiro and Ema Aimoto (deceased) — parents, Ken Aimoto (uncle)
His mother was the more affectionate parent. She always complemented him on how handsome he was. When Ichiro was around, he simply asked Shiyu about his day and gave him a pat on the head. His father asked his mother why Shiyu had his hair in a little ponytail. Ema replied that she wanted Shiyu to grow his hair out because of his pretty silver hair. Kenji chuckled and told his wife “Do as you like.” When Shiyu wailed after his mother’s death, Ichiro would yell at him to be quiet which upset him even more. Since Ichiro only knows how to be the breadwinner, he left his son in the care of his younger brother in his younger days. His mother’s death made him to become a cardiologist.
After his mother passed away, Shiyu often wailed so his uncle, Ken, had him take deep breaths as Ichiro would yell at him to be quiet which upset him more. His uncle rebuked his elder brother for scolding his nephew. When Ichiro went back to work, he left Shiyu in the care of his uncle. Ken taught Shiyu archery just to help keep occupied but Shiyu grew to enjoy it. Ken would have Shiyu help him with cooking lunch and dinner. In Shiyu’s eyes, Ken is more of a father figure than his biological father. Shiyu wanted to get earrings like his uncle. His uncle accompanied him to a piercing shop where his friend worked when he was 16.

Inspirations
Shiyu is a revamp of a demon character I was going to make for Inuyasha. His personality was based on Libra male traits. Thanks to my coauthor cousin who helped me come up with the cause of his mother’s death. His guardian fuku was inspired by Disney’s Phoebus from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. His alter ego theme and attacks were inspired by the deity, Eros.
