 IZZY0115 (15) | male | staff | knowledge | Izumi, KoushiroThe CharacterIzzy is pretty much part of his last name, Izumi, also short for the word 'dizzy', since he makes people feel that way when he tries to explain something. Layman's terms are not his forte. You see, Koushiro is a big computer nerd; perhaps the biggest around. Studying all types of computer science, Koushiro lost touch of human contact. So he can only explain things in confusing details.
And speaking of losing touch with outside life, yes, being in front of the computer is his life. He always uses it to go online, make programs, play games, and so forth. It doesn't help him make friends in school, unless you count internet friends. Sure he has maybe one or two friends in school, but he hardly spends any time with them, since he's uncomfortable in social situations. Although, he had joined a soccer club, once, in school in order to fulfill a physical education requirement. Of course, he performed poorly, but once kid helped in him out. Yes, he was one of his friends, who Koushiro was forever indebted to him.
His lack of social skills, however, is due to his shocking and horrifying discovery when he overheard from his parents that he was adopted. His biological parents passed away when he was very young (my guess being around 1-2 years old). Since Koushiro's parents had no living relatives or family who were close (personally, not location), a very distant relative took the orphaned child. They had recently lost a boy of their own to Shinigami, so they were grateful to have a second chance to raise a child. So he hides away in his own computer world, trying to pretend he didn't hear that. This made him pretty distant from his parents.
As the years went by, Koushiro grew up and never knew that the woman he calls "mother" and the man known to him as "father" aren't the ones who gave him life. His "mother" wanted to tell him the truth, but his father wanted to wait until he was older. Either way, the news would have come as a shock to Koushiro. Adoption isn't very popular in Japan, it's believed that it ruins the family's bloodline. It gives a child a family's name without having any of the family's blood. Its part of Japanese pride of heritage. He also began to hate himself; feeling like he has stolen the Izumi name and contaminated the Izumi bloodline.
Again, he tries to forget his shame, hiding behind his computer. In his eyes, "Izumi Koushirou" is now a fraud, nothing more than garbage thrown off to the side. Feeling like he is undeserving of human companionship, he focuses his life on his computer. This is to escape the reality he lives in, so he doesn't have to deal with the shame. If he stays away from everyone, no one will know his disgraceful secret and no one will shun him.
But enough about the depressing side of him. He at least doesn't act this way in front of his friends. He mostly act like a normal kid, who doesn't have any worries. He can be glad to explain his computer knowledge to those who are interested. Sadly, the only ones who are, are his internet friends. Koushiro also has a curious streak, as he loves to learn and cannot leave until he learns what needs to be learned.
Besides to help with his insecurities, that is where Digimon Online comes in. What job he is looking for? A programmer.
