Kazu is often described as a loose cannon – he does whatever it comes into his mind to do. This has included taking off one day to hike the Nakasendou from Tokyo to Kyoto through the mountains of Nagano, riding local JR trains all the way down the west coast of Japan on a whim, and his total inability to stick with anything for long. When he needs money, he works as a calligrapher, writing signs, designing business cards, giving demonstrations or whatever will get him a meal at the end of the day. There has been only one constant in his rather indulged life, and that is his devout faith in Buddhism. He is an active practitioner, strictly vegetarian, and regularly disappears to his prayers and the occasional pilgrimage.
Kazuya and Jin first met in Yoyogi Park when Kazu was still in high school. At the time, Jin was busking with a group of friends and Kazu was entertaining the idea of being a singer-songwriter. Far from telling the young upstart to rack off, Jin invited him in with a smile and their ensuing friendship soon blossomed. Kazuya's family had hoped here was the person to finally cool Kazu's heels, but his restlessness soon reared its head. They put their relationship on hold while Kazu donned the robes of a pilgrim and set off west, determined to visit as many temples as he could reach on foot. Occasionally his parents receive a phone call from some town or village they've never heard of, but otherwise, no one has seen hide nor hair of him since...
