Shuuya Kano/History

History

 * Kano, who is still a child, is living with his mother in a small apartment. As he is covering his injuries from his mother's beating, he goes to a park. He sits down on a bench as he starts to wonder about the actions that always made his mother angry. He starts to think that he is the same as "useless things" and even starts wondering about the value of his existence.


 * Kano sees a few children who are playing in the park with the swings and the horizontal bar. When he sees a girl playing on the horizontal bar laying on the ground, Kano purposely tries to help her, but trips and adds more injuries to his body. The girl is revealed to be Ayano. When she asks what he was doing, Kano lies that he was doing a "super skill that can defeat bad guys in one strike". Ayano naively believes what Kano says, which left the latter in confusion.


 * After parting ways with Ayano, Kano goes to a nearby shop to buy a cup that he broke earlier. As he goes back to his apartment, the door is unlocked. He goes deeper into the house, only to see that his mother is tied and two men are taking her jewelry. Shocked by the event, Kano tries to take the jewelry back since he knew that his mother had worked so hard to get them. However, he is overpowered by the two men. When they almost killed him, his mother took the blow instead. Kano tries to resist back, but he too, is stabbed. He remembers that his mother was trying to say something to him, but he never knew what it was, even till today.


 * Coming into contact with the Kagerou Daze. He becomes possessed by the snake with the "Deceiving Eyes" ability, acquiring the power to deceive how the people around him perceive him and anything immediately in contact with him.


 * Kano finds out about his powers when he sees his mother instead of his own reflection when he looks into the mirror. He wants to change back to himself, but he does not know how. As the police came, he tries to hide, but he falls down and his power is cancelled. Kano realizes that when he feels pain, he can turn back to himself.


 * He is eventually brought to the orphanage. When he enters the orphanage, he sees a girl (Kido) come by and thinks she is a ghost. He thinks that if he doesn't manage to amuse her, he will die. Hence, he shows her his ability, posing as his mother and asking her to hit him, and she did.


 * He is later assigned to room 107 with Seto and Kido, and that room has another name which is the "monster's room". They discuss how to rub off their image as monsters, resulting in a huge fight between Kano and Kido. Then, Kido starts ignoring Kano. Even up to the point in time when they are adopted by the Tateyama family, they still have not settled their argument yet. They then meet Ayano whom he, Kano, has met before in the park and considers to be his first friend. They creat a gang and Kano gives it its name - Mekakushi Dan.
