3)  Setususuynna Sakura
Kaorin first encountered his twin sister at age ten when visiting and learning who his father was for the first time.  All his other family were introduced to him as such but Setususuynna wasn't and everyone had assumed they were, thus he didn't know if they were related at all.  The two spent the week together in almost every waking moment.  Kaorin grew to have slight feelings for her though the two wouldn't meet again for another five years.

Parents/Relationships:
0)  Mother:  Reisa Arasawa
Reisa gave birth to Kaorin at age sixteen.  the two were nigh inseparable until Reisa married six years later.  At that time Reisa began to loosen her grip on Kaorin and allow him to explore and make mistakes under the advice of Jozu, Kaorin's step-father.  From Reisa's young age and Kaorin being one of two of her first-born children their relationship was more of a friendship than parent and child.
0)  Father:  Kazuo Sakura
Kazuo was twenty-three years old when Kaorin was born.  Out of agreement with Reisa, Kazuo took Setususuynna when she and Kaorin were seven months - planning to return sometime later though due to circumstances never happened.  Kauzo began to visit once a year with gifts between Kaorins ages of two and five, though no one explained to Kaorin that Kazuo was his father.  Kaorin didn't learn that was his father until age ten where Kazuo took Kaorin into his home for a week.  The two didn't meet again until five years later.  The meeting is brief and mostly to re-introduce his sister Setususuynna.  The two don't meet again. Kazuo was an on and off drug addict.  Constantly his drug addictions would shatter his world and he would go through rehab to get his life in order.  Kazuo would only let Kaorin see him when he was off drugs, doing well financially and no trace of drug-abuse could be seen.  When Kaorin turns nineteen, Kazuo rebounds and dies of drug overdose.  Kaorin doesn't find out for another three years.
0)  Step-Father:  Jozu Arasawa
reisa, Kaorin's mother, first began dating Josu when Kaorin was six and married him when Kaorin was seven.

Kaorin and Reisa both lived with Sakuya until Kaorin turned four.  Which then they merely moved into the apartment building next to Sakuya's.  Sakuya and Kaorin were very close, though Sakuya was a strict and strong woman.  Several times Sakuya had offered to become Kaorin's legal guardian though he refused each time.  While Kaorin adored Sakuya and greatly enjoyed his time with her, he also enjoyed the freedom he had living with Reisa.
0)  Grandfather:  Tatsuo Gin
Tatsuo spent time with Kaorin on and off over the course of his life.  Introducing him to his many cousins whom lived all over Baltimore city, usually in the older and rougher neighborhoods.  It was with Tatsuo did Kaorin learn how to hold himself when 'new' in a neighborhood, how to stand up for himself and how to fight to survive.  In these environments, Kaorin quickly learned that there are no rules in a fight, just a matter of who walks away and who doesn't.  Tatsuo taught Kaorin skills such as sleight of hand to hide weapons or other small objects until they're needed or to pickpocket others.  While Kaorin never used these skills malevolently he did use it to be aware of others attempting to do so.  When Tatsuo re-married he moved to Atlanta, Georgia and took Kaorin to many of the wilderness areas introducing him to a variety of wildlife.  Tatsuo and Kaorin lost touch when Tatsuo was imprisoned for reasons unknown.

Significant Others/Relationships:
1)  Koume Makiko
Kaorin and Koume met online when they were sixteen and began dating in the same year.  The two maintained an online relationship for over a year before Koume moved in with Kaorin.  Their child, Xou, was born two years later where four months after his birth, Koume moved away with Xou.  The two didn't keep communications afterward.
Relationship Skills:
Kaorin doesn't have the best skills to nurture and maintain a relationship - evident in their lack of romantic history.  Their bonding mechanic is time.  Not affection, though this is important to him, nor gifts, though it could be misjudged that this would be the case.  Kaorin actively attempting to spend time with someone or putting aside time for someone means that he cares about them and has an interest to get to know them better and build on that.  Affection is important to Kaorin with anyone he believes he is friends with or greater but the type of affection differs greatly.  Kaorin is open with physical contact with his friends of all sexes (hugs, etc.) and more so with any romantic interests or relationships (holding hands, kissing, etc.).  Kaorin is neutral to public displays of affection and is bi-sexual with a stronger interest in futanari.  Having grown up in a low-income house the idea of sharing your wealth (food, resources, etc.) was commonplace and sticks with him even as an adult (which can be confused as his bonding mechanic).  Kaorin is expressive and blunt and encourages those in a relationship with him to be forthcoming about any concerns, conflicts or disagreements whether or not he would agree or disagree.
