#Yukio Nakamura

[toonilumi]

Give us random Yukio facts because I wanna know more about his zesty ahh life

yuio

- his older sister, shu mei, got him interested in the arts. she's an opera singer, so its quite different than the dance battling yukio is used to.

- he started growing his hair out once he left home. he cant remember last time he cut it! and he doesnt want to!

- a big color fanatic. WILL get on your ass for putting black on black.

- has a big social media following. its not a secret he tries to keep but everyone is always surprised to see it.

- his whole story is... very queer. I mean it in a sense of somebody being raised traditionally learning to embrace life outside that norm. hes happy being himself and nobody else, and some people may think its weird but he doesn't care!

[shamelessmilkshakedelusio]

Hanging out!

"A-axeton? Are you Ok..!? You look mad.."

Kaijo (+ Haizaki's) animal forms in my knb shapeshifter au!

Another school that doesn't really have a theme in this au other than like, what I think aesthetically fits them? The theme sorta became majority dogs (Kagami's worst nightmare lol) but I think it fits because Kaijo is a loyal bunch. They're also a pretty mismatched bunch, so I think very different animal forms fits them! Kasamatsu ironically ended up being the largest. Who knew boars were so big!? Kise and Kasamatsu are the only named members of Kaijo with animal forms in my fanfic (so far), but I always imagined they weren't the only ones. I'm glad I finally brainstormed, and I'm pretty happy with where I landed. My favorite ideas are yet to come tho, so stay tuned...

Selection explanation below cut, plus some animal facts!!

Touou's | more art from the au | read the series (kagakuro main pairing)

Kise: culpeo fox. resisting making him another big cat was tough (i mean, the obvious copy cat joke is right there) but there were already a lot of big cat's in the au/canon, and Kise has always had dog-energy to me, in the nicest way possible lol. but he's also cunning and graceful, so after some thought, I landed on a fox. however I never landed on what breed of fox specifically until like, 2 days ago lol. however, a culpeo is actually more closely related to wolves/dogs than foxes! so he's actually on-theme haha

Kasamatsu: japanese wild boar. one of the firsts I selected. i just tried to think of smaller animals filled with fury and then Japan's demon boars came to mind. they're quite aggressive and such, and once I pictured boar!kasamatsu charging at Kise and Kise fleeing for his life, I couldn't think of anything else.

Haizaki: striped hyena. originally, I had him as a corsac fox, because I wanted him as a mirror to kise. but after some comments on the fanfic from some lovely readers, I came to the decision that hyena actually fit him much better, so i actually went back and rewrote all his parts (unlike for hanamiya). a scavenger, a bit mangy-looking, snarly, laughing...yeah, it fit. Striped hyenas however actually don't "laugh", unlike their spotted cousins. they more so grunt and yowl.

Moriyama: greater lophorina (superb bird-of-paradise). i wanted a flirty animal, since he's always concerned with girls. then this wondrous creature popped into my head and though he is very much the odd-one-out, it was hilarious and I couldn't get it out of my head. I also think for whatever reason it would be nice to have an avian shifter on each team, and this has him fill that role. please watch videos of the bird-of-paradise's courting dance, it is indeed superb.

Hayakawa: red merle boarder collie. i knew I wanted some sort of yappy, energetic creature, so naturally, a dog came to mind. I googled energetic breeds with big personalities and landed on boarder collies, then found the sub-breed red merles, which I think aesthetically match him more than the standard boarder collies. he sorta gives smaller dog energy, like a boxer or bulldog, but those weren't energetic/yappy enough in my mind haha.

Kobori: chesapeake bay retriever. a very last minute addition, he was originally a non-shifter in my head. but after some thought, I realized I wanted another dog. I originally planned on someone on kaijo being a black lab or something along those lines (originally imaging it for moriyama before changing my mind) so i figured fuck it, why not just make kobori one? but then looking at pictures of kobori i realized he doesn't have black hair?? oops. so then I researched other breeds of water-faring dogs with brown fur and landed on CB retriever. I wanted a "water-faring" dog because all of Kaijo's players' names are in fact references to rivers. however, kobori ended up being the only member with an animal form with some connection to water.

Pentagon Pursuit | Part 12 | Niigata's All-Time Record Goalscorer

Sometimes in life, Robaato Rasamu mused, you can achieve too much, too quickly. Rasamu was in a pensive mood as he reflected on his Albirex Niigata side’s huge overachievement in the 2027 J1 League campaign. Indeed, their 3rd place finish led by a bunch of exciting young Japanese players had sparked interest from big teams across Saudi Arabia and Japan. However, the flip side to that was that…

[pillow-anime-talk]

his hot girl.

request: the captains, specifically imayoshi, hyuga and kasamatsu with an s/o who is very confident in her body and wears very hot girl clothes, but doesnt let other people judge her just from her outward appearance alone

# tags: headcanon; current relationships; light romance; mostly fluff; but also drama; school!au or work!au; confident!reader; protective!boys; mention of vomit in shuuzou’s part; rather sfw

includes: female reader ft. junpei hyuuga, yukio kasamatsu, shoichi imayoshi, shuuzou nijimura & taisuke otsubo {knb}

— JUNPEI

↘ That day you and Junpei went on a date to your favorite restaurant. After ordering food, you sat down at one of the tables, immediately starting a conversation about plans for the next few days; your boyfriend had a match next friday and you had two projects to do.

↘ The day promised to be calm and the weather was so warm, so pretty.

↘ While having a nice chat with a tall basketball player, you heard whispers on your right. The two women sitting next to you nervously looked at your person and talked about your outfit – tight pants with flared legs that perfectly emphasized your bottom and a blouse with a visible neckline. You loved classic combinations with a hint of extravagance and you always felt great in your body. Plus, it was a date with Junpei – of course you wanted to look sexy and feminine.

↘ You were about to say something as your back straightened and the chest was pushed forward, but your boyfriend was much faster.

↘ “It’s rude to talk about other people, especially in a restaurant. Why don’t you take care of your clothes instead of my girlfriend?” He asked with a disgusted smile, and the two women quickly hid behind the menu card. You giggled, taking your boyfriend’s hand and thanking him.

— YUKIO

↘ It was a summer time, so you had to go to the beach in the company of your closest friends and their significant other. You spent most of your time on the blanket and sunbathing your body, occasionally chatting with the girlfriends of the rest of your boyfriend’s teammates... but still mostly focused on the sun, drinking water, and your boy who having a great time in the sea.

↘ “Y/N, let’s go to the water for a while.” Nakamura’s partner proposed with a big smile, and you just nodded slightly, adjusting the straw hat on your head and also the strings of your red swimsuit. In the meantime, you heard the screams of a woman who telling someone to not look at you.

↘ You looked towards the young woman and the man (probably her boyfriend or husband), then raised an eyebrow. The blonde stranger started telling him to stop staring and you’re not that pretty at all. You... just giggled.

↘ “... Why don’t you start working on your confidence instead of insulting me?” You just said, putting your hand on your hip, and the young woman’s cheeks took on the color of a ripe tomato. “With this attitude, I do not wish you a long relationship. I’m so sorry for you, man.” You said and then you and your friend walked towards the pleasant, warm water.

— SHOICHI

↘ You and Shoichi were invited to his childhood friend’s wedding. You liked the groom and the bride very much, but you felt the eyes of the maid of honour on you, who was looking enviously at your beautiful mid-thigh dress. The bottle green perfectly matched the colors of the room, your hairstyle and make-up, which is why you certainly caught the eyes of many people. In addition, the dress had an exposed back, slight creases on the thighs and silver elements that harmonized with the jewelry you had on your ears, neck and hands that evening. You looked divine.

↘ The bride’s witness, however, had a different opinion on this. From a distance, you could hear her gruff comments about you wanting to take your eyes off Yuri and her white, beautiful dress. Somewhere between the first and second toast, you also managed to hear that you look fat in your outfit and your shoes don’t match to the rest of your accessories. You just smiled at those words.

↘ “... Should I talk to her?” Your boyfriend asked calmly and you just shook your head.

↘ “Don’t worry, honey. I will do it.”

— SHUUZOU

↘ He loves your style very very much and really doesn’t understand how another person (usually a woman) can talk to a strange girl like that.

↘ On that day you were on a trip to the mountains to celebrate your fourth anniversary of your relationship and your first anniversary as a engaged couple. The weather was beautiful and the views was so amazing. You still had less than an hour to drive to your accommodation, but you had to pee and Shuuzou decided to refuel his car. After using the toilet at the gas station, you decided to buy yourself and your boyfriend a small, warm snack. You ordered one hot dog with ketchup and mayo for your partner and a small grilled sandwich with your favorite toppings.

↘ It was hot that day, so shorts and a tank top were the perfect choice. And you could start to tan a little. Unfortunately, after paying for the meal and fuel, and after receiving the food, you heard a very unpleasant comment from one of the gas station customers; his disgusting comment about you looking like a pornstar with a dick in your hand made you immediately wanted to vomit. But your face showed anger and disappointment.

↘ “It’s sad that you have so little self-confidence and manhood that you have to insult others for their appearance. But go on. Maybe someday it will make you feel better.” You replied casually as you left the small building. Luckily, your boyfriend quickly cheered you up with a quick but tender kiss.

— TAISUKE

↘ Summer and warm evenings were the perfect time to go out to the club and party with trusted people. Together with Taisuke, his friends, as well as Takao and Miyaji partners, you chose a club where you could dance, use karaoke equipment, drink something and play bowling. You were in the middle of a little fight between you with your boyfriend and a blonde basketball player with his girlfriend (your bestie).

↘ For today’s outing, you decided to wear leather pants that perfectly emphasized your legs and butt, as well as a white, lace top with gold elements. On your feet you had the most ordinary sneakers and a black bandana on your head. Your outfit was described by Taisuke as ‘very sexy and I want to kiss you now’.

↘ You had a great time while playing and drinking drinks (alcohol or not). Halfway through your game, all the boys went to get more snacks and use the restroom. So you stayed with Junko and Sachiko and engaged in a pleasant conversation about plans for the next weeks of holidays. About the time your boyfriend and his friends left three of you, a group of four men entered the bowling alley. Seeing you and your friends, they immediately started throwing obscene comments at you all.

↘ “... Leather turn me on a lot. You must have worn that outfit to the club on purpose, huh?” The tall, black-haired teenager laughed out loud, and you frowned. You hated pushy men... or rather pushy and stupid boys. However, before you responded to the idiotic comment, your boyfriend and the other four returned to their place, immediately showing their dominance and superiority. The Shuutoku team was definitely more massive and taller than the four strangers, so they instantly fell silent.

↘ You were glad that you could count on the support of your boyfriend and friends.

I’ve never stopped thinking about what we talked about on the day I was planning to leave, how you told me I couldn’t run from this, and you’re right. I was afraid of the consequences for something I never even wanted to be a part of, but after all this, if anyone deserves to lead the world into a better tomorrow, it’s people like you and Makoto.

I’m telling this to you now in case I turn out to be right and I get executed for all this. I’m going to tell them everything, about the project and my involvement. I hope that, in some way, it can help make things a little easier for you, Hajime and everyone else. I regret ever agreeing to the project; if I’d known what it involved right from day one, I swear to you I would’ve stopped. I just wanted to do something good for the world, not hurt people like this.

But I can’t run away from the truth anymore. I need to face the consequences. And if I don’t see you again, I want you to to know I always considered you a friend. Whatever happens from here on out, I hope things start looking up for you all. Take care of yourselves.

Kyoji Nakamura'

— 11/4 8:02 a.m. KYOTO —

“OK Automotive. That’s a boring name. Shouldn’t it be great automotive or super automotive?” Rin squints at the sign. “Why’d they name it okay?”

Yukio tilts his notepad at the plaque on the wall. “The founder was Otsuka Kenji. That could be why.” 

“Huh.”  

The guy with green hair they talked to earlier comes jogging back with another guy. “Hey, sorry to keep you waiting. This here’s Kobayashi. Here’s some phone numbers of guys you might want to ask too,” he says, casually passing Rin a bunch of chicken scratch on a paper towel. “They’re not working today. If you all want to chat over here, that’s great. Just don’t block the entrance.” He gives Kobayashi’s back a firm pat and flounces back off to wherever. 

“Morning,” Kobayashi booms. “I’m Kobayashi Satoru. Daisuke-san was my close friend.” 

Yukio blinks in that startled, rabbit-like manner he does every once in a while, when he runs into a rare human that’s way taller than him. “Thank you. I’m Okumura Yukio, and this is my colleague, Okumura Rin. We’d like to ask you some questions about Tamura-san. Please, have a seat,” he says motioning smoothly at the bench. 

He doesn’t sit down next to Kobayashi though, so Rin doesn’t either. Maybe it’s just so they don’t have to crane up at the guy. 

Kobayashi is huge and buff, with a kink in his nose probably from being punched. It looks pretty cool. He’s kind of old, but not that old. Rin can’t really tell with all the facial hair. 

Yukio goes through some of the same questions as with that Ishida lady from yesterday. Kobayashi tells them a lot about Tamura’s hobbies—fishing, collecting stamps, and drinking—but in the end, he doesn’t mention anything interesting. He doesn’t know the handwriting in the notebook, and he doesn’t know Nakamura or Matsumoto. 

It puts Yukio in a foul mood. They head back to their hotel and make calls to all of Tamura’s coworkers on the paper towel. After that, Yukio spends some time inspecting the meager information they gathered while Rin eats snacks. Matsumoto’s notebook sits open on the table between them, basking in Kyoto’s morning sunshine.

The weird thing about Matsumoto’s notebook is that the first half of the notes are in her handwriting. The latter half is a scribbly cursive list of materials, written in thin black pen. That summoning circle was drawn too. Only Matsumoto’s fingerprints were found on the notebook. 

“Wait.” Rin sets both hands on the table. “What if whoever wrote this wore gloves? Then, they wouldn’t leave fingerprints.” 

Yukio doesn’t look up. “Yes. They would have worn gloves.” 

Rin frowns, slouching back in his chair. “Well, maybe we can check Nakamura and Tamura’s belongings. We might find something like this.” 

“That could be good.” Yukio runs his fingers over his watch, but he’s still staring at the wall. 

Rin busies himself by checking his emails. Shura hasn’t sent him any updates on the… incident in Athens. It’s probably not going well either. 

He scrolls through some news headlines on his phone. A celebrity Renzou likes was fined for tax evasion. There will be a lunar eclipse visible in a few days. A new drug to treat colon cancer has been approved. 

“What if,” Yukio begins, “we need to be faster than this?”

Tatsuya Nakadai and Raizo Ichikawa in Conflagration (Kon Ichikawa, 1958) Cast: Raizo Ichikawa, Tatsuya Nakadai, Ganjiro Nakamura, Yoichi Funaki, Tanie Kitabayashi, Jun Hamamura. Screenplay: Keiji Hasebe, Kon Ichikawa, Notto Wada, based on a novel by Yukio Mishima. Cinematography: Kazuo Miyagawa. Music: Toshiro Mayuzumi. I haven't read the Yukio Mishima novel, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, on which Conflagration is based, but the film has the earmarks of an adaptation from a novel, including incidents, such as Goichi's vandalizing the sword of a naval cadet who mocked him, and such secondary characters as Tsurukawa (Yoichi Funaki), the fellow acolyte who befriends him, whose treatment feels truncated, as if their narrative and symbolic weight was greater in the book than Kon Ichikawa was able to give them in the film. But the fine performances of Raizo Ichikawa, Ganjiro Nakamura, and especially the great Tatsuya Nakadai help Conflagration succeed on its own. Ichikawa plays a young Buddhist acolyte, Goichi, whose stammer has made him an outcast, and whose troubled childhood only worsens his sense of alienation. Nakamura plays the head priest at a temple, who studied with Goichi's father and takes the young man in out of a sense of duty, eventually paying his way to the university. There, Goichi meets another outcast, Tokari (Nakadai), whose deformed leg has caused him to become bitter and cynical. Although Goichi retains his shyness and naïveté, the two bond as outcasts, with Tokari's darkly rebellious philosophy eventually infecting the young acolyte, provoking him to the destructive act that gives the film its title. Nakadai's intensity in the role gives the sometimes plodding narrative, with its flashbacks within flashbacks, a needed jolt.
