Appearance
Kazuki is a small boy with brown hair and brown eyes. The illustrations in Volume 6, however, portray him as having black hair and slightly grayer eyes. He is known to have small hands compared to those of his age and is often seen in his school attire or alternatively using a social shirt and a black necktie.
Personality
Kazuki loves his normal everyday life, and strives to fight against the boxes that are taking away his ordinary life. While inside the Game of Idleness, he abandoned his abnormal obsession with the everyday life, describing himself as Maria's "Knight". After killing Kamiuchi inside Kingdom Royale, he started displaying psychotic behavior, going as far as "killing" Shindou Iroha just to save a Maria who was supposedly kidnapped on Daiya's orders.
Biography
Kazuki Hoshino is the main protagonist of the Hakomari series. The story begins when Kazuki is offered a box by 'O'. Kazuki however refuses the box because the only thing that he wishes for is a normal everyday life. Because of Kazuki's disinterest in the box and his will for an everyday life, 'O' becomes interested in Kazuki. 'O' gives boxes to several people around Kazuki, and before Kazuki knows it his everyday is being destroyed in several different ways. 'O' makes it his mission to study Kazuki in these different scenarios until he believes Kazuki will give in and use a box himself. Kazuki later realizes he is the owner of the Empty Box, which is the antithesis of the wish-granting boxes and holds the power to destroy other people's boxes, thus "trampling others' wishes". He describes the Empty Box as a box which wasn't filled with desires. He was given the role of "savior" by Maria's box, the Flawed Bliss, while 'O' is the manifestation of Maria's wish of making other people happy. His disgust for 'O' is caused by a subconscious knowledge of 'O's true nature.
