Hideo is emotional and even tempered compared to his father and older brother but when it comes to people, he’s not close to getting in his space or people disrespecting his loved ones, he will act impulsively, and his temper will flare up much like his mother whose temper appears when her loved ones are disrespected. Hideo is good at mediating in most situations he encounters and can usually make good solutions to reach a peaceful conclusion to an issue. Like his father and older brother, he makes a good leader as he praises the strengths of others and helps encourage them to reach a goal together.

Committees
He is part of the Physical Education committee.
Background
Three years after the birth of their first son, Yukio, Kazuo and Shinobu Kasamatsu were expecting another child and had hoped that their next child would be a girl. After all, Kazuo had a weird hormonal fear of girls during his puberty because he only had two younger brothers and they hoped that by having a daughter, they could prevent Yukio from inheriting his strange hormonal fear, but their second child turned out to be a boy. Much like how Yukio’s name had 5 letters and ended in an o like Kazuo’s name, they decided to continue that pattern for the second son which they named Hideo as they wanted their second son to become an excellent man. When he was only two years old, he became a big brother and his younger sibling turned out to be a boy, so his parents gave up on conceiving a girl. Much like how his older brother had been encouraged to go to Mini-Basketball as a child, the same happened with him as Kazuo was a salaryman and Shinobu was a rehabilitation nurse. He did love the sport and grew to be good at it. At the age of 9, he was also enrolled in taking drum lessons much like his older brother had to take guitar lessons. He also enjoyed and excelled at playing the drums. At Kanagawa Junior High, he is the captain and point guard of the basketball team. His jersey number as the basketball team’s captain was #4 until he had to retire for high school entrance exams.
Relationships
Family
his parents — Kazuo and Shinobu Kasamatsu, Yukio Kasamatsu (older brother), Fumio Kasamatsu (younger brother), Takeo, Ayumu, and Mihiro Kasamatsu (cousins), Kentarō Midorima (father-in-law ), Mayuko Midorima (mother-in-law), Shintarō Midorima (brother-in-law), Mika Midorima (wife).
He has a slightly strained relationship with his father because although he loves his father and appreciates that his father works hard so the Kasamatsu family can live a comfortable life, he isn’t around much but his father still cares about his family, even making calls when he can to check in on his wife and children and has many qualities that his older brother takes from such as their manliness, seriousness, and discipline methods as when his father was around and he and his brothers were being a handful, he’d use force as a means to discipline them. His mother calls him, and his brothers shortened versions of their names and “chan”. Yukio is “Yu-chan”, Hideo is “Hii-chan”, and Fumio is “Fu-chan.” While his older brother takes after their father a lot, he took after his mother in sharing her patience, being even-tempered until someone disrespects their loved ones, caring for others, as well as her smile. His mother is very loving towards all her sons and worries about them. Both he and Yukio inherited their father’s aptitude for sports, strong will, and confidence. All three Kasamatsu siblings have a strong resemblance to their father. Yukio and Hideo eventually outed themselves to their parents, but their parents reassured them that they had made the resolve to love their children despite their sexual orientation.
Yukio is his older brother by 3 years. Their parents encouraged them both to play Mini-Basketball when they were 5 years old, and both grew to love it. When he was younger, he called Yukio “Yukio nii”. Fumio is his younger brother by two years. When Yukio was 10 years old, he was entrusted to take care of his siblings so their mother could contribute to the family income which made both of his siblings get attached to him like puppies. Yukio asked Hideo to help him take care of Fumio and Hideo was happy to be entrusted with the responsibility. Fumio calls Hideo “Hideo nii”. Yukio finds that both of his younger brothers are noisy and makes their lunches when he got older to help around the home and his mother. Yukio often tells Hideo and Fumio to shut up or gets annoyed by Hideo’s drum playing and tells him to stop. Hideo worships his brother because his brother is cool as a nationally renowned point guard, and he loves his older brother so much because he was a huge presence in his upbringing. As he got older, he started calling Yukio “Yukio nii-san”. He loves and appreciates him even when he gets hit by him. Yukio uses force as a method of discipline on his brothers. Yukio taught Hideo how to cook and told him to prepare himself to be the man of the house when he goes off to university. Yukio and Hideo eventually both found out that they were both bisexuals over FaceTime which made them relieved that someone in their family knew about their sexual orientation and accepted them regardless. Hideo loves to play fight with his brothers, but he will lose to Yukio every time. He still blows raspberries into Fumio’s belly button when he’s rolling around and being physically affectionate with him. He is protective of both his brothers and will lose his cool when someone disrespects either one of them. He acts as the mediator between his brothers so that Yukio doesn’t beat Fumio up and gets scolded by their mother and scolds Fumio to be respectful and apologize to Yukio. Although both Hideo and Fumio respect Yukio a lot, they tease him for plucking the ends of his eyebrows which Hideo doesn’t think is manly nor does he understand the trend and Hideo often admonishes Yukio that he cannot be afraid of girls forever which leads to him getting hit by Yukio. When Fumio learned that both his brothers were bisexual, he said “Wow, I guess I’m the only straight man here. I still love y’all. No homo or incest of course.”
Her male cousins were like brothers to her although she saw Yukio like an older brother since he was born before her while she saw Hideo and Fumio like little brothers. She loved Hideo’s cheerfulness. Hideo calls her “Mihiro nee-san”. After awakening as a Sailor Guardian, when her cousins started texting her due to her mother’s request, she was frustrated by her mother’s love and guiltily decided to text her cousins back hours later and apologize saying that she was busy, so she was relieved when they gradually texted her less before stopping altogether. Yukio told his brothers not to text her anymore since she was busy and while Hideo was upset about it, Yukio said that life kept people busy. She wanted to distance herself from them because she was afraid that if they got too involved with her, they could get hurt because she was a Sailor Guardian. She still did her best to follow up on what was going on with her cousins from her mother’s conversations with her aunt. She watched over her cousins from a distance in the form of Sailor Charon before watching over them from afar in civilian form. She also owns a Basketball Monthly magazine that has an article that covers Hideo. She did her best to watch Yukio’s and Hideo’s games when possible. She cried as she told him she missed him and his brothers a lot, but she was always watching them from afar. Yukio teared up as he told her he believed her as they hugged. Hideo caught wind of the fact that Mihiro was in Yukio’s room, so he knocked on the door and exclaimed “Mihiro nee! I know you’re in there!” Yukio yelled “Just open the door and get your ass in here idiot!” Hideo joined the group hug while crying and Fumio was at the door and Mihiro told him to join the group hug otherwise she’ll kick his ass and Fumio hugged her while crying. Mihiro decided that their families should have a camping trip before she and Yukio went off to university and asked Hideo if he knew any girls, he wanted to invite otherwise it would be just her and Kairi Mizuno, so he invited his girlfriend. Yukio and Mihiro both got into K.O. University. Yukio and Hideo were happy to find out Mihiro was also bi, and Fumio accepted it as well. Yukio and Hideo later learned that she was Sailor Charon. When Hideo learned about his brother’s break up with Ryōta, he decided to talk to Mihiro about the news on the phone to process his feelings. Afterwards, he felt certain that his brother and Ryōta would get together again and Mihiro shared his belief.

Afterwards, he felt certain that his brother and Ryōta would get together again and Mihiro shared his belief.
When Hideo met Mika’s family to ask permission to date over a meal, he could see that Mika took a lot after her father. He was also admittedly afraid of meeting Mika’s father because Youta told him that the greatest obstacle to dating a girl was her father. That was why he tried to be very polite to Kentarō which made the man burst out laughing from seeing the boy trying hard to make a good impression on him. He could see that Mika’s mother had glasses and so he deduced that she got her studiousness from her mother. Kentarō and Mayuko Midorima were impressed that Hideo was the captain of the Kanagawa Junior High’s boys’ basketball team. Mayuko wasn’t completely impressed that Hideo was a B student at best. Both Mika and Hideo tried to appeal to Kentarō and Mayuko that they wouldn’t be able to see each other every day which meant that their relationship wouldn’t be a distraction to their studies which made the two adults give a firm “Good”. It made Mika and Hideo sweat at the adults’ reaction, but Mika’s parents smiled and gave their approval as it was clear Mika and Hideo cared for each other a lot which made the teenagers relax. However, as Mika’s older brother was picky about potential suitors, Mika decided to keep her relationship secret from Shintarō from her brother. However, one day, Shintarō caught Mika kissing Hideo in front of their house, and he was filled with irrational anger. He demanded to know who the boy was, and Mika explained that Hideo was her boyfriend which made Shintarō angrier stating that this period in her life was crucial, and she didn’t need a distraction with a boyfriend. She argued that they couldn’t see each other every day anyways. Shintarō assumed that Mika’s boyfriend was responsible for making him lie to her and was about to lift Hideo to shoot him like a basketball until Mika told her brother to do it to her instead which he was fine with, and he shot her into the air (which honestly wasn’t anything new to Mika which was why she said “Whee!”) Hideo called Shintarō a monster and kicked him hard in the butt before running after Mika in the direction that she flew. Shintarō also ran after Mika after recovering from the pain and they found that Mika landed in the rear of a parked truck that had mattresses. Shintarō was all nonchalant saying that Mika had a lot of good luck. However, after Hideo explained that they had already asked permission from their parents to date, Shintarō was very sheepish and got scolded by his father after Hideo told him what happened. Later, Shintarō sees that Hideo cares about his sister a lot and has a compatible personality to Mika and eventually entrusts Hideo to keep her safe and take care of her. Hideo eventually does respect Shintarō as a shooter and comes to see that he does care for Mika but keeps his distance as he has a lot of bad luck. He calls Shintarō “Shintarō-san” then called him “Shintarō nii-san” after marrying Mika.
Friends
Ryōhei Yagira, Takuma Shinsō aka Hermes Knight, Youta Hidaka aka Apollo Knight
His best friends who make up the band “Rhythm Players”. Hideo was the one who named the band using the initials of his friends’ names and his and added players since they all played sports. Ryōhei and Takuma are both members of the Kanagawa Junior High School’s soccer team and Hideo and Youta come out to cheer them on if they can. Youta is the power forward and the fellow ace of the Kanagawa Junior High School’s basketball team with Hideo. Ryōhei is the bassist. Takuma is the guitarist. Youta is the lead singer of the band. Hideo is the drummer and leader of the band. They all aimed to get into Kaijō High and succeeded. (Thanks to @ervaurem for writing with me which influenced this segment.) Youta got the position of power forward after Mitsuhiro Hayakawa relinquished the position to him to become the new center. Hideo became the new point guard on Kaijō High’s boys’ basketball team. They kept in touch even after graduating high school and originally aimed to be a professional band but due to goals no longer aligning in university, they all gave up on that goal although they do meet up as adults and have occasions to play as a band together for events.
Ryōta Kise
(Thanks to @ervaurem for writing and plotting with me which helped me describe their relationship.) In his first year of high school at Kaijō High, he became good friends and teammates with his upperclassman due to their mutual cheerful natures. Ryōta thought that Hideo was fun and thought the expressions he made were amusing while simultaneously reminding him of Yukio. Hideo thought Ryōta was cool but only second to his older brother. Ryōta called him by first name and Hideo called him Ryōta-san. When Yukio and Ryōta announced that they were dating during Hideo’s third year in high school, he was completely surprised by the news but happy for them. However, after the course of seven months, Yukio came back home during his summer holiday as was tradition and Hideo noticed that his older brother seemed pretty glum. He waited until after dinner to ask him what was wrong and when Yukio told him that if Mihiro wanted Ryōta to be there for lunch, do karaoke, and join the annual couples’ camping trip, he said Ryōta would not show up. This made Hideo pester him by constantly asking why wouldn’t Ryōta show up? After being annoyed by the constant questioning, Yukio barked “I broke up with him, that’s why!” After Hideo got stunned by the response, he asked “But… Why?” Yukio sighed and said “…I did it because if he stayed with me, he would’ve been distracted and not have a secure future as a pilot.” Hideo had dreamed of going pro with his band since junior high but now he couldn’t help but have a sliver of doubt as he wondered, would they be able to go pro? He then shook off the thought the moment he heard his big brother break down to cry and he gave him a big hug because it was clear that Yukio loved Ryōta a lot. Even though this wasn’t his relationship, hearing the news about Yukio’s break up devastated him. After talking over the phone with Mihiro about the breakup, he felt certain that his brother and Ryōta would get together again and Mihiro shared his belief. They later became good brothers in law after Ryōta married Yukio and he called Ryōta “Ryōta nii-san”.

Love Interests
Mika Midorima aka Sailor Orthosie
The two of them encountered each other during a practice match between Kanagawa Junior High and Teikō Junior High and Mika’s teammates encouraged her to watch the practice match. He and his teammates overheard that she was the younger sister of the Generation of Miracles’ prodigal shooter, Shintarō Midorima, as well as the vice-captain of the Teikō Junior High’s girls’ soccer team and thought that sports aptitude must run in the Midorima family. and he was surprised that there was only a year difference between her and her older brother. He also thought that she and her teammates were cute. However, as hard as he and his teammates fought, they lost which was embarrassing given their female audience. He did his best to encourage his teammates to hold their heads up and he smiled even as he left the gym which made Mika notice him. However, fate had them encounter each other again as his friends, Ryōhei Yagira and Takuma Shinsō were soccer players and had a match against Teikō Junior High. Mika was distracted while talking to her teammates, but Hideo looked forward in time and was able to keep her from falling. He smiled as he told her to be careful and she blushed and thanked him. Her teammates fawned over the second encounter much to her embarrassment. From then on, they had encounters where Hideo saved her from getting into accidents or she got startled at his presence because she didn’t pay attention. After they finally exchanged names, she learned that he was the younger brother of Yukio Kasamatsu and she called him “Hideo-san”. It flustered him at how polite she was, but he accepted that it was a quirk of hers to call everyone “san”. They both have confidence and leadership abilities, and both are biromantic and bisexual and appreciate that the other has similar qualities. Mika loved how cheerful he was, and he loved how straightforward she was. Mika would blush when she was wrapped in his embrace because she could feel his warmth and muscular body. The sight of Hideo’s arm muscles would make her blush as well. After Hideo confessed her feelings to her, they went to ask permission from Mika’s parents and Hideo’s parents to date each other. Hideo tried soccer because of Mika and grew fond of it. Hideo admires Mika’s intelligence, and talents in soccer, piano playing, and drawing. Mika admires Hideo’s confidence, ability to play the drums and mediate. Mika would give him wrap hugs and he would affectionately hold her and roll her on his bed when she came to visit and smother her in kisses that make her laugh. He eventually learned Mika’s secret that she was a Sailor Guardian and only loved her more for that. He was amazed that she had a lot of good luck and was also amazed to learn that she was part witch. Mika’s teammates couldn’t help but think that Mika was so lucky to have a boyfriend before entering high school and a relationship that lasted for life. After thinking hard about his future during university, he didn’t want to be apart from Mika ever again after seeing her die in their first year of high school before she revived and his parents and older brother had advised him to have a backup plan in case being a professional drummer didn’t work out and since Mihiro was pursuing a job to be a high school teacher and basketball coach, he decided doing the same thing but teaching a different subject would work for him. During Mihiro’s wedding, Mika caught the bouquet but was supported by Ryōta and Yukio who also touched the bouquet to make sure it didn’t fall out of her hands then Hideo proposed to her.
His type of person is a straightforward person.

Inspirations
His spirit animal is the Siberian Husky. Since I headcanoned that his favorite singer would be Hyde, it was easy to come up with his soundtrack.I adopted @circle-tcon’s headcanon that Yukio Kasamatsu took care of his younger brothers when he was little which made them attached to him. Aside from @circle-tcon ’s artwork, this fanfiction also depict Yukio’s brothers as bearing a resemblance to him so I follow that headcanon but give the younger brothers variances in their blue eye colors.
