He describes himself as persevering and someone who would stick to something until the end once he has made up his mind.

History
Little is known about Kaizaki's childhood aside to the fact that he had his life planned out from the beginning. He planned to graduate have a job and get married at 25 (which sadly didn't come true due to him unable to get a girlfriend and became a NEET). His mother covers his living expenses until he was laid off (which eventually became one of the factors that led him to accept the experiment).

He used to work in a company that did a Flower Business under the leadership of his senpai. He was disappointed at the way the people in the company did their work wrongly and blamed it on her. He tried to fight for her

sake which did not work well as he planned. In the end his senior committed suicide, an event which traumatized Kaizaki. Afterwards he tried to justify her death which resulted in him being fired from the company, three months after his employment.

The event became a black stain in his life as well as in his resume which hindered his chances of being employed in other companies, until he eventually turned into a NEET.
