Natsume has light mustard colored eyes. His hair is dirty blond, rather short on the back, with two longer strands on the sides of his face. Due to an incident he had when he was younger, he is afraid of people touching his hair and thus cuts it on his own. He's quite skinny compared to other boys, but his complexion makes up for it, with no muscles whatsoever. He doesn't try to stand out, so his actions and stature are as normal as they can get. He enjoys wearing traditional Japanese clothing, and will not miss a chance to do so. Otherwise, he's mostly seen wearing his uniform, or plain, average clothes.

Biography:
His mother was a Koto player. She met his father in a tour in England. Natsume was born in England, but his family moved back to Japan when he became three years old. At nine years old, his mother died in a car crush. His father was desperate as to how he would raise his son as a single parent and finally gave in after some time, marrying a middle aged woman. Natsume now ten years old, was left behind with his foster mother when his father moved back to England for two years due to business matters. The woman turned out to be quite strict, forcing the boy into starting piano and french lessons. He was treated more like a doll than a child. He was made into a perfect student and used as a charm when his foster mother had conversations with other people.

After the first year his father was away, the woman started becoming a bit more rough than the average, pulling on the Natsume's hair whenever he did something wrong. After about one year and five months, they received a call from Natsume's father, saying that he wouldn't be able to come back for another three yeas. He would visit them from time to time, but that wasn't enough for the boy. He came to dislike his father and hate his foster mother. He also came to view the whole world as his enemy, trying to survive through it on his own. He didn't have many friends or close relatives to rely on, and thus he kept everything to himself.

Until he met a distant relative of his from his mother's side by an accidental phone call. The woman claimed to be his mother's cousin. She also performed the Koto. Learning his situation from rumors, she offered to take him in instead of letting him stay with his foster mother. Natsume accepted, not caring much about it at first. His aunt's house turned out to be a traditional old house. She was a tradition lover. A few months after he moved in with her, he found himself wandering around and poking everything around the house just because he was bored. When he came upon one of the woman's Koto instruments, he sat down and tried out the chords with his bare fingers. The sound came out so fluid and natural that made the woman run to him and offer him lessons, saying he seemed to have a natural talent for this. Thinking he would need a job in the near future anyway, he accepted the offer. As time passed he came to love the koto, and anything traditional around him.

Another encounter about a year later made him want to continue his piano lessons too. He wasn't very famous for having actual "buddies" at school, but that changed when one of the most energetic and popular boys in his class just glued on him one day. The private school he attended included a sound-proof room with a piano. With nothing else to do, Natsume had decided to pass his time brushing up his piano skills. The other boy just happened to pass by at that actual time. From then on he glued onto Natsume, saying he had "angelic musical skills". He was exaggerating of course, but he didn't seem to realise it, even after the countless time Natsume told him.

The boy also seemed to start humming like an idiot every time Natsume played a piece on either the piano or the koto. One day, tired of the quiet humming, Natsume gave him a sheet with simple lyrics of a song he had learned to play on the piano. His friend gladly accompanied him by singing it, and he turned out to have a very good voice. From that day and on, Natsume developed a weird wish of someday composing his own song and performing it with the other boy. That wish was also the only reason he decided to join Saotome Academy.

Personality:
When he was younger, he used to be quite the troublesome child. He was always energetic and used to laugh a lot. Nowadays, he just flashes a fake smile at everyone he meets, pretending to be kind and caring, when in reality he just thinks of everyone as trash who will never be at the same level as him in any kind of branch. He doesn't have a problem lying to people, not only when needed but on a daily basis too. He is generally careful of not revealing his real personality to anyone. He tends to get bored of everyone around him most of the time. He' what you would call the loner side character of life and he doesn't mind it. To actually come close to him and become his friend, you either need to do something exceptional that will draw his attention or become clingy and not lose hope when ignored until he gets used to you and opens up. He's actually quite warm and kind when he opens up his pool of hidden emotions to you. But that has only happened to his aunt and best friend until now. He is typical on school work and hates slacking off. That is the only good thing he got from his foster mother. He's quite intelligent too, something which helps him with his lying hobby.
