fujishima kou

Kou married into the Fujishima family, originally bearing the surname Shinomiya. Profession: Kou is a photographer. His uncle, Keishi Shinomiya, is a renowned photographer. Although they focus on different subjects, both share a passion for photography, a field Kou entered under Keishi's influence. Kou has achieved significant success, serving as the head of the National Geographic Society, specializing in wildlife photography. After his wife's death, he began working abroad, constantly traveling and rarely staying in one place. He returns home once a year, staying less than a week without prior notice. Due to frequent visits to dangerous areas, Kou knows military self-defense techniques, which he taught Takara, focusing on vital points. Family: Kou impregnated Yoshiko, Takara's mother, while still in high school. Despite being younger than her by a few years, Kou was deeply in love and overjoyed when she became pregnant with Takara, leading to their marriage. Initially, their family seemed perfect. However, Yoshiko's death left Kou unable to cope. Unable to accept her passing, he eventually burned all photos of her. Because Takara resembled his late wife, Kou distanced himself from raising him, leaving the country more frequently. Initially returning monthly, the intervals grew longer until it became yearly. Kou's treatment of Takara is inconsistent: protective when it comes to Kiyomine, whom Kou disapproves of, yet treating Takara as an adult in other matters. Despite this, Kou loves Takara deeply. He named his first photo album after him, filled with images he wanted to show his son over ten years. These are primarily parental scenes of birds or animals. Though meaningful to him, Kou doesn't feel they are suitable for public viewing, showing little interest in publishing them.
