Personality
Kou is a member of the forest who is generally different than the others causing him to become somewhat an outcast and unwelcome by some other types of yokai. He is fond of humans so often takes on human form to leave the forest and blend in among them though he knows he can never be one of them. He also visits humans as a cat to gain their affection and attention. He craves to be loved by another as he was with his owner. He became a stray cat when his owner died before becoming a bakeneko but he was still treated well by humans who would leave food and water out for him and stroke and pet him when they could. Whilst he has long forgotten his life as a cat those memories of being cared for stick with him so he harbours no ill will or hateful feelings towards humankind which is something some other yokai dislike about him.
In the forest he mostly keeps to himself and stays away from others. Because he refuses to stop visiting the human populace and therefore smells human he's required to wear the mask in the forest or else he will possibly be mistaken for a human and attacked. He's also required to wear it because his love of the human form angers others in the forest and they'd rather not see his face.
Whilst he appears extremely distant, cold and the strong silent type on first impressions those that get close to him find he is quite sensitive and caring and his silence is merely shyness. It is only a side he reserves for those he loves. He's not violent or quick to anger so is mostly a calm and collected guy. He is willing to share his thoughts and experiences with those that make time and effort to get to know him and in return will do anything for them whether they are a friend or lover such is the case with Izumi who started out more like a student but the two formed a bond that became more than just friendship.
