Hideyasu

Face-up artist(s):

Company Default

Body blushing artist(s):

Myself

Date of acquisition:

August 22, 2017

Provenance:

via Alice's Collections

Reason for choice:

That smirk!

Best Points:

He's beautifully made, with smooth resin, and so far a great poser. His face-up is gorgeous, and his expression a little unusual for a YoSD.

Worst Points:

Hands are a little bland.

A tengu from Mount Kurama - as far as you (or he) knows. He's Tianzhu's boyfriend and Sōjōbō's adoptive son. Sōjōbō found him on the side of the mountain the day after an eclipse and thought that, missing memories or no, he was cute enough to take home, so he's been raised as a tengu ever since. He likes causing chaos but is surprisingly bad at actually hurting people. He spends most of his time getting underfoot and being sappily in love with his boyfriend.

Eyes:

14mm glass

Wig:

Angell Studio

Favourite colours:

Black, Red, Silver

Fashion style(s):

Traditional Japanese

Key fashion accessory:

Yuigesa

Hideyasu's clothing are based on the traditional outfit of the Yamabushi, the monks typically associated with the tengu mythos. This is pretty much all he wears, since he's lazy and broke. All of his clothing are made by me.

Name story:

In Japanse, his name is written 秀康, meaning "blossoming, elegant" and "peaceful." If his boyfriend gets annoyed, he gets called by the Chinese reading Xiukang.

Character age:

Good question.

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

At one point, he was supposed to be sole, singular main character of the Japanese verse. Now, he's just kind of the pivot the world revolves around. Oops!

He originally sprang from a cute stuffed tengu I got at the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Japan. His name comes from me managing to mix up the names "Hideyoshi" and "Ieyasu." Fortunately for me, Hideyasu is a perfectly serviceable name.
