In manga volume covers, sometimes Kaboku has blue eyes (volume 1), while some other time, he will have yellow eyes (volume 6, volume 13).
Personality[]
At the start of the story, he had a weak sense of self, mostly because he's unable to communicate with people due to his speech impediment, so he is a bit shy and usually goes with the flow. However, he always had his own ideas, morals and convictions. Through dancing, he became more confident, gained a stronger sense of self and found a new way to communicate his thoughts.
