Personality[]
Shougo has little motivation. He dislikes school and karate seems to be the only thing he keeps up on his own. He tends to sulk a lot and has trouble looking after himself. This is seen when his sister wakes him up and his friend Saho Shimatani pointed out that he hadn't done up his button and tried to do it for them.
However, Shougo is known to be a very dependable individual, like when Saho came to him for help when her dog was acting strange. He also demonstrates this when the three are attacked by an alien in an armored suit and in the confusion and fear Shougo manages to protect Saho's dog from harm.
Later on, in the series Shougo's personality drastically changes from an idle state to a hard-working one, even doing small gestures like making tea for everyone; even his family showed surprise in his change. His countless battles as a Bone Fighter as well as the time he has spent with Luke and the others gave him something he wanted to protect. He also becomes less short-tempered. With regards to Saho, he starts to become more conscientious of her feelings, buying her an alien toy gift, and accepting her fascination/special interest for extraterrestrials. Another instance of this is when he asked her whether their is somewhere she wanted to visit before the summer is over, and he went with her to the pool she wanted to visit.
At the start of the series, towards being a Bone Fighter he was seriously confused and hesitant about the entire thing. Questioning his own path and wondering why he had to fight. In his battles he is hit with many conflicts and doubts within himself, usually it would be the guidance or actions of his comrades that allowed him to overcome this. Later on in the series however his attitude changes to the exact opposite, he starts throwing himself headfirst into action for the sake of others and it's his resolve and determination to defend that changes even the most disciplined characters. Throughout the series, he turns from a cowardly and hesitant person to a very brave and courageous fighter to protect the "daily lives" of himself, family and friends, and everybody's above all else/.
History[]
Shougo starts off as a regular high-school student, he was born May 6, 1997, he lived with his sister and father whom both work. Every morning his sister would wake them up if he slept in, and he would walk to school with his childhood friend Saho. After his first day back from school in mid-term, he sits in his room listening to music and reading mature magazines. Saho Shimatani barges into his room and quickly drags him to her house because her dog, Momotaro, is acting strangely. Shougo turns to inspect the garden and is suddenly drawn to a rock at the back near the fence, Saho snaps them out of it by calling his name and he quickly waves it aside.
Shougo manages to pick Momo up and bring him out from under the wooden balcony, Momo jumps back under again and Shougo is drawn back to the rock. After conversing with Saho about a noise the rock is making Shougo hears something call out to them which asks: "Can you hear me?". Shougo walks over to inspect the rock but as soon as he touched it the rock shatters into pieces, leaving a trail of destruction where the parts collided with various other things. Then Shougo touches the ground where the rock was and gets shocked by some form of black lightning coming from the ground.
At that moment Shougo notices something and leaps back to protect Saho and her mother, something hits the ground and creates a huge explosion, luckily the three emerge from the smoke unharmed. He quickly notice with shock that Saho's house has been partly destroyed and asks them both to head to their house for safety, Shougo looks for Momotaro while Saho and her mother head back to their house. Once Shougo finds Momo, he hears the same voice as before telling them to "hurry", he trips and bumps into someone; turning to say sorry, Shougo freaks out when he notices it's a large figure in armor.
