Shun Kaidou (海藤 瞬, かいどう しゅん lit. Kaidō Shun) is classified by his classmates as a Chuunibyou. He refers to himself as The Jet-Black Wings (漆黒の翼) and thinks that the world and its events are overseen and controlled by an evil organization called the Dark Reunion.[2] He is an outcast within his class who likes to show off, but he often becomes cowardly in dangerous situations. When push comes to shove, however, he will endanger himself for those he cares about.[3] Shun is one of the main characters of the series and was starred by Yoshizawa Ryo in the live action of the series.

Appearance

Kaidou Shun Full Design

When Shun was in middle school, he had the persona of a nerd. He wore his hair down, covering his face with his bangs and wearing glasses. However, with the intent of gaining friends, he started planning to change himself when he entered high school. Currently, his hair is spiky and he wears contact lenses. In reference to his chuunibyou, he wears red bandages on both arms to seal away his ‘powers’. He is the shortest boy in his class, standing shorter than most of the girls as well.


At school, he wears the standard male uniform of PK Academy. His shirt has a tattered collar and is torn in other places as well. During his days off, he is shown to dress casually, with his arms always covered by sleeves or bandages.

Personality

Shun Split personality

Shun used to be shy in middle school and he had no friends at all. Once he began attending PK Academy, he started changing his personality with the plan of becoming adult-like. However, he instead caught "chuunibyou syndrome". He developed a split personality, where he acts as a confident chuunibyou at school and around his friends. However, when feeling hopeless or around his overbearing mother, he acts like a normal teenager. He is physically very weak and is terrible at sports and physical activity in general. He also cannot swim.


Shun has a delusional mind and a wild imagination. He often tries to be cool and strong in front of Kusuo, but ends up humiliating himself more often than not. He is quick to judge others, as shown when he accuses Riki of being a lolicon after observing him watching a young girl.

History

Past

Shun grew up as a nerd but decided to reinvent himself in high school. In his freshman year at PK Academy, he acquainted himself with Mineo Nobuaki who taught Shun about chuunibyou. He eventually began to befriend Kusuo as he delusionally thought that Kusuo was special too. Kusuo originally did not want to associate with Shun, however he was left with no other choice after discovering that Shun saw him teleporting near his neighbourhood. It was later revealed that Shun was intent on getting close with Kusuo because he really wanted a friend and saw a fellow outcast as his ally. Shun hadn’t really seen Kusuo’s face when he teleported, but their friendship was already formed.
