Kudou, Kazahaya
Summary
Kazuha Kudou serves as the central protagonist of Gohou Drug, driven by an intense desire to survive that appears deeply connected to Kei, a girl from his past who is strongly implied to be his twin sister. He reveals that he and Kei were raised in isolation on a single property, cut off from other children and deprived of even elementary education. The series begins with Kazuha discovered freezing in the snow after fleeing his home, only to be rescued by Rikuo and taken to the Green Drugstore. His primary motivation becomes securing enough money to live independently, leading him to accept extra jobs from Kakei. Kazuha possesses a supernatural psychometric ability, allowing him to perceive the memories of objects and people through touch, along with a potential empathic capacity to absorb emotions and occasionally channel the visual perspective of others, such as Rikuo. Despite appearing naive or helpless at times, he demonstrates remarkable competence in specific tasks. His physical traits and behaviors often mirror those of a cat, featuring heightened senses, exceptional agility and speed, and a tendency to resemble an angry kitten when distressed. At the start of the narrative, he is seventeen years old, possessing a petite, slender, and distinctly feminine beauty that contrasts sharply with Rikuo. He is emotionally volatile and prone to quick-tempered reactions, often falling into Rikuo’s teasing traps.
