He's a bit shorter than the average person, and has black hair and brown eyes. Background: While growing up, Taro was always thought of as a bit of a nerd. He spent a lot of his free time reading books indoors instead of running around like a "normal" little boy. He didn't study out of any particularly strong drive to do well later in life (although he does want to do great things some day), but because he enjoyed it. Among his favorites were Encyclopedia Brown and the various works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Nothing quite like a good mystery story to challenge and expand the mind and logic skills. He also has a fascination with machinery, especially of the clockwork kind or other types where you can see a ton of moving parts. His father's name is Urashima Hiroshi, and his mother is Urashima Keiko. He also has an older sister named Yui. While he gets along pretty well with most people, Taro feels more comfortable with a smaller, closer group of people than a large crowd. He's a trustworthy person who's usually there for anyone who asks, whether friend or just acquaintance. He's intelligent, and usually gets fairly high marks at school. During the summer, he also takes extra classes so he can absorb as much information as he can. Taro's unsure of what he wants to do for a living, but he definitely knows that it'll have to involve a pretty strong mental challenge.
