Tanaka Keiji

Tanaka Keiji (田中敬二 Tanaka Keiji) is a member of the Cavallone Family, more specifically, Dino Cavallone's Thunder Guardian. Raised as an orphan, Keiji learned to not lean on others for help and learned to be independent. Though it took him awhile, he grew to be somewhat attached and opened up to people more after joining the Cavallone Family, due to Dino's acceptance of the boy.

Keiji's number in Semivita is '20'. His number is simple yet complicated at the same time. Obviously enough, the number 'two' comes from the 'ji' in his name, which is the number two in kun reading. As for how his number became twenty is complicated; it could somehow be interpreted by looking into Japanese higher numbers. His number could have been quadr-illion, just saying.

Character Outline
Keiji was born in Japan as Tanaka Keiji but was given away as a baby and grew up as an orphan. Though he does not know how they look like or what their names are, he knows (or rather believes) that his biological father is Japanese, because of his family name, but is not so sure what his mother is. He was adopted by a foreigner that was visiting Japan, which he later came to find out that they were a member of an Italian mafia family. He is about 179 cm tall and weighs around 63 kg. His blood type is A, which makes him a little more sensitive than other guys out there. He holds a green flame with the thunder attribute. Keiji exceeds well in academic studies and is book smart, wanting to throw away the stereotypical judgment of 'orphans'. Because of all the indecent things that had happened in his past, Keiji seemed to have forgotten how to express himself and how to feel.

Personality
As said before, because of everything that had happened in his past, Keiji seemed to have forgotten how to express himself and how to feel. No one ever really knows what he is feeling and in actuality, he doesn't really know what he is feeling, either. His feelings, to him, are quite a mystery, thus his expressions are always an indifferent look. He sometimes wonders if he doesn't know how to show how he feels through his expressions since when he thinks something, other people tend to think he is thinking completely different or opposite because he never shows it on his face. Despite his indifferent look, he is human so he does have feelings (just not aware of them). He gets slightly upset when people think that he doesn't care about certain things or isn't listening to what they are saying because of his indifferent expression. Of course, that doesn't mean he never smiles; it is just really rare to see it on his face. So if you do see a smile on his face, please do take a picture of it. Trust me; it'll definitely last longer.

Keiji doesn't like to be a burden on anyone so often keeps himself from depending on others, especially his boss, Dino. Instead of confiding in his boss and members with his feelings, he tends to keep quiet and hesitates to open up to anybody. In fact, the first person he had ever really opened up to was Aika and is still the only one he ever really talks to about things, only if he really needs to. Other than that, he keeps quiet and keeps it to himself. He is used to being independent and mature, because of his childhood. He likes to figure things out by himself, which may be dangerous to a person, mentally and emotionally, considering he keeps everything bottled up inside (like any other type A people out there). He is usually quiet though does speak up when he needs to, such as expressing his opinions about something and whatnot. If you want someone to talk to and want them to keep a nice, juicy secret of yours, Keiji is your guy. He'll listen to you, even if it looks like he isn't.

Though he seems like the most serious guy ever, Keiji can be very sarcastic when he wants to be though it is usually toward his boss. Since Dino is usually clumsy and dorky, he can't help himself but make snarky comments sometimes, sarcasm obviously heard in his voice. "Boss, that's a stupid idea," is something he finds himself saying, constantly, though sometimes it sort of comes out from habit of saying it often for years to come. At times, he is sent on missions with Aika and isn't hesitant to be sarcastic to her either (only sometimes, though; he knows her personality, after all) since she is that sort of headbutt first, think later type of person. "Aika-san, that's a stupid idea." Oh, yeah. He says it to her, too. I know you thought he wouldn't. Despite all this, however, he is loyal to his boss and is even willing to give up his life to protect his boss if he needs to. And of course, same with Aika; not only Aika but all of his family members in the Cavallone.

Parents and Childhood
Raised as an orphan, practically since birth, Keiji grew up never once seeing or meeting his biological parents. He was never one to really speak out and was sort of the quiet kid who would aways just play by himself, instead of getting along with the others. He occasionally got along with few of the other kids but all of them ended up getting adopted, leaving Keiji to feel that he shouldn't make friends anymore since they'll be gone, anyways. He sort of isolated himself from the other children and learned to depend on his own and only his own, refusing to lean on or depend on anyone else.

If someone were to tell Keiji to choose between a book and a chocolate, he would choose the taste of knowledge over the taste of sweets, unlike the other kids his age. He usually kept himself busy by reading books and learning about new things that fascinated him. He grew to be mature at a young age, which might have been the reason why he sort of popped out to people who would come by to adopt children. However, couples usually wanted a small, cute child, rather than a mature one (which was stupid because Keiji was totally adorable!). Adults would sometimes wonder if there was something wrong with the boy, since he didn't act his age and was so different from the other kids.

But that didn't stop the "foreigner" from adopting him, huh? Because of him adopting our beloved Kei-tan, he grew up to be a great young man and even a greater hitman. And thanks to all the books he read and all the stuff he learned by himself, he caught on pretty fast with everything. After getting adopted, he thought about maybe looking for his real parents though couldn't. More like didn't; he's sort of scared to find his real parents, even though he doesn't want to admit it.

Medical Skills
Back when Elleboro Family was still alive and active, Keiji was taught how to use his thunder attribute for medical purposes by the older, experienced members, despite his young age. Sometimes, he would be lucky enough to be taught by the boss himself, who adored Keiji like no other. He never failed to mention all the potential he saw in Keiji, making the said boy feel proud and want to do even better to make the boss happy. Keiji always had fun learning about all the things he could do with his flame and his own power. Being the bright (bright as in smart; not happy) kid he is, he was able to catch on quite fast, which earned him lots of praises and respect from the other members; not to mention words of praises from the boss, as well.

Keiji is able to use his thunder attribute for defibrillation, which is a treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, all in which has a relation to the heart. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the arrhythmia, and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body's natural pacemaker, in the sinoatrial node of the heart. However, instead of using a defibrillator, Keiji is able to use his own two hands to perform such a technique by executing the right amount of volts to get the human heart beating again.
