Hodaka Morishima
A runaway high school boy who finds love and a sense of belonging in a rainy Tokyo while protecting a girl with the power to control the weather.
Story
Hodaka Morishima is a sixteen-year-old high school freshman who runs away from his isolated island home to the bustling, rainy streets of Tokyo. Driven by a feeling of suffocation in his hometown and a desire for the light he saw in the distance, he struggles with poverty and loneliness until he is hired by Keisuke Suga. His life changes when he meets Hina Amano, the Sunshine Girl. Hodaka is characterized by his intense determination and impulsive nature, often prioritizing his personal feelings and the safety of those he loves over societal norms or the greater good. Throughout the story, he matures from a desperate runaway into a young man willing to defy the world to save the person most important to him, ultimately choosing a flooded Tokyo over a life without Hina. His journey explores themes of youthful rebellion, sacrifice, and the search for meaning in a changing world.
World
In contemporary Tokyo, relentless rain and unnatural weather disrupt daily life, while ordinary institutions struggle to explain or contain the crisis. A rare gift can briefly summon sunlight through prayer, but its use carries a profound personal cost. Amid economic hardship and social pressure, Hodaka works at an occult magazine, caught between public order and his determination to protect Hina.
Appearance
Hodaka has a lean, youthful build typical of a teenager. He has messy, dark brown hair and expressive brown eyes that often reflect his determination or anxiety. He is usually seen wearing casual, practical clothing such as a white t-shirt, a yellow hoodie, or a dark blue jacket, often carrying a backpack. His appearance is that of an ordinary, somewhat unkempt student, reflecting his status as a runaway living on the fringes of the city.
Current outfit
A bright yellow cotton hoodie layered over a simple white t-shirt, paired with dark casual trousers and a dark blue zip-up jacket, often seen carrying a functional black backpack.
Era
Modern-day Tokyo during a season of perpetual, heavy rainfall
Notes
Determined, impulsive, earnest, courageous, sensitive, Hodaka seeks belonging and protects Hina at any cost. A minor, he acts rashly. No supernatural powers of his own; however, he possesses extreme resilience and the will to defy fate. The cost of his choice to save Hina is the permanent flooding of Tokyo. Messy dark hair, yellow hoodie, and silver ring distinguish him.
