History
He comes from a family of fishermen, where he did not fit in; he was viewed as being weak and useless, and gets seasick easily. For this reason the other children teased him and the adults pitied him, because he was the eldest son and expected to inherit.

In school, he made a scarf for a girl to give her boyfriend, but the boyfriend found out and the girls blamed the breakdown of their relationship on him. He ruined the sports festival by failing to complete costumes for all clubs, and the teams blamed him for the loss.
