[ Personality ] :
Keiichi’s personality can be broken down into four different aspects, each of which becomes more or less apparent based on the situations he’s in.
Perverted. Being a 16-year-old boy, Keiichi has an overactive libido and, as a result, readily has perverted thoughts and fantasies. He also has a habit of going out of his way to talk to cute girls, though his confidence in regards to flirting or teasing waxes and wanes depending on the situation: if he knows a girl well and can anticipate her reaction to something, he will flirt with her confidently; conversely, if a girl initiates something with him or reacts in a way he doesn’t expect, he will often be left scrambling for something to say or thinking of a way to respond. He really enjoys playful flirting with his friends and likes having someone who he can switch roles from confident flirter to awkward flirtee, like with his relationship with Rena Ryuguu in canon. Although he is proud to say he is a pervert and claims it’s only natural, he’s honestly a pretty tame one--even if his habit of monologuing his fantasies has a habit of making others think otherwise.
Honorable. While he may be comfortable being a pervert, checking out girls, and flirting with girls, he respects boundaries (for example, he tends to get to know someone to gauge what he can say) both physically and verbally. He often uses his flirting or goofy perversion to help relax others or cheer them up, because playing the role of a buttmonkey is a good way for him to get people to smile, which is important to him. He also has zero tolerance in regards to bullying of any kind or sexual assault: in canon, he defends the young Satoko Hojo from her physically and emotionally abusive uncle and beats up three greaser thugs at once to protect Mion Sonozaki. Despite his flirtation and perversion, Keiichi actually holds nearly all his relationships with girls as platonic.
Charismatic. Keiichi is known as the Magician of Words for his ability to spout motivational speeches off the top of his head, ranging from things about doing what’s right for the sake of it to encouraging a guy embarrassed about being a perverted to feel okay about himself. He saved Satoko Hojo’s life in canon by motivating every single person in the entire town of Hinamizawa to stand up for this girl, despite her being the daughter of the two most hated (although also several years dead) people in town. He is capable of accomplishing great things using nothing but words, hence the title Magician of Words.
Empathetic. Although he has the standard stubborn and oblivious teenage boy syndrome (blind that the girl that picks on him loves him and things like that), Keiichi generally has a high sense of empathy. He’s able to pick up on things others miss, able to get to the emotional root of an issue quickly, and is able to pick up on the emotions and feelings others try to hide. This is an enormous part of why he is as charismatic as he is and why he is so skilled at talking to others: he is able to think of things to say and the exact words to say it so that others can genuinely feel what he is saying and get across that he feels what others feel.
Indomitable. To top everything off, Keiichi has an indomitable will. He will neither bend nor budge regardless of the pressure put on him concerning matters of his morals or the safety of others; in canon, he withstands torture and the mutilation of his fingernails at the hands of (who he thought was) Mion suffering from an illness in hopes of outlasting the torture to get through to her.
In summary, Keiichi is in actuality a very, very intelligent person strongly in touch with his and others’ emotions with an incredibly strong adherence to his morals who, due to the cause of his emotional breakdown and his guilt, prefers to mask his real person with a persona of a charismatic, doofy, buttmonkey of a hyperactive pervert. The incident with his breakdown and hurting a young girl forced him to mature mentally and emotionally very, very quickly.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
STRENGTHS
- His signature strength is his charisma. He uses his empathy and passion to get through to people and diffuse dangerous situations that would otherwise require violence.
- Along with his charisma is his will. No matter what happens, Keiichi will never give up, especially if it is a matter involving the well-being of his friends.
- His concern for the well-being of others leads him to be incredibly selfless. He will not think twice about giving something up or going through tremendous pain for the sake of others.
WEAKNESSES
- While Keiichi's empathy can be strong, he is oblivious most of the time. The greatest example of this is being entirely and absolutely clueless regarding Mion's feelings for him despite basically everyone else being aware of it.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Keiichi's mind has retained the memories from the various alternate worlds, but aside from a select few memories currently they have all been sealed away, likely the result of the trauma involved in dying over and over and over.
