Name: Tensei Daichi
Village: Leaf
Age: 20
Birthday: April 29
Gender: Male
Rank: Jounin
Blood Type: O+
Chakra Affinity: Wind
Musical Specialization (Primary): Percussion (Informal: “Beatboxing”)
Other Info of Note: Daichi is a member of the only group of triplets born to the Tensei clan other than the legendary trio of Tensei Shirayuki, Kurogashi, and Akamatsu. As triplets are considered very lucky by the their clan he and his siblings were very-well received even for Tensei.
Family:
-Father: Tensei Hirotaka (43)
-Mother: Tensei Izanami (41)
-Siblings: Tensei Hideko (Sister, 20) – Jounin (0.5 hours younger)
Tensei Eiji (Brother, 20) – Jounin (2.5 hours younger)
-Other: The Tensei Clan
Appearance: Daichi is a carefree individual, and that shows in his appearance. His laughing brown eyes are usually squinting and his thick, silky brown hair nearly reaches his shoulders. For informal clothing he wears a tight white tank top, baggy khaki pants with a studded belt, and black ninja sandals. The cargo pockets in his pants serve the purpose of dual leg holsters, and he usually has a pair of drumsticks (or two, or three) tucked away somewhere. He is tall, standing at about 6'1”, with a graceful, muscular build and slightly tanner skin than many of his Tensei relatives.
Personality: The laughing, carefree one of the three, Daichi is always finding something to grin about, even if normal people wouldn't see any reason to (within reason, of course). Daichi is the rock, the foundation, and generally the balancing force of the group. His constantly upbeat, optimistic, and yet laid-back attitude has provided a great asset to their teamwork, encouraging his siblings when the situation seemed otherwise bleak and rather hopeless. When not on missions, Daichi can usually be seen strolling around beatboxing, or drumming on random objects. On the rare times he's away from his siblings he's usually randomly wandering the village, “listening to the rhythm of life” and getting inspiration for new beats.
Likes: Any kind of percussion (which includes finding and experimenting with new – and usual unconventional – percussion “instruments”), dango, pulling pranks
Dislikes: Silence, “haters”, anyone who messes with his siblings (men looking to hit on Hideko, beware!), uptight people, not having enough food
History: One may or may not think of Daichi as the firstborn at first glance, but he has, when needed, used his couple hours' worth of age difference to wave the “Big Brother” authority over his siblings to soothe arguments, solve problems on missions, and generally do what older siblings do best: keep things running smoothly amongst his siblings. He developed a love of rhythm and percussion at a very young age, prompting his parents to encourage him to become a drummer. Because of the Tensei Clan's traditional nature, his first lessons were in Taiko drumming, which he still practices passionately today. In fact, when he was considered old enough by the Clan elders, he was permitted to join the group of Taiko drummers that perform for Konoha's special events – an honor he takes so seriously, he's missed minor missions because of it. It was his idea initially to form a group with his siblings, and some of the group's best combos have been his invention. Meanwhile, his grades in the Academy were also the best of the three, nearing the top of his class – in fact, Eiji begged Daichi to do his homework on several occasions.
Upon graduation, the Triplets were – to their delight – assigned to the same team, under the leadership of Jounin Homura Taro. The three took to Taro-sensei immediately, and it wasn't long before he became both a favorite uncle and an absolute idol to the three. They flourished his under his leadership and were promoted to Chuunin together at 14. As the three began to take on more and more advanced missions they became candidates for promotion to Jounin, but were reluctant to accept, afraid that doing so would split up their close-knit team. Eventually a particularly stressful mission proved their fears unfounded, and shortly afterwards the Triplets were promoted together to Jounin rank at age 17. The three are now comfortable taking missions on their own, but almost always function as a unit as this is when they are at their most effective.
Presently Daichi is content to sit back and just enjoy life as it comes when off duty, taking time to enjoy the little things and helping others while he's at it.
