Personality
Not much is known about Taro's personality prior to his accident. He is said to be amnesiac, but knows at least his name.
In the present, Taro is a placid amnesiac who exhibits mostly gentleness. He is gentle and serene, but to an abnormal point, and can be seen idling in a park. When interacting with Kyoka, he mostly listens to her and quietly smiles. He seems to appreciate Kyoka's dog and pets him often. He also puts large amounts of sugar in his coffee cup for undiscernable reasons.
