Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...
reflect my life, before my eyes...

Kouyou was born and raised in the Shounan District of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. From a young age he was always influenced by the very being of a guitar, the instrument's name being Kouyou's very first word as a toddler. As he grew up, his older sisters would play him awful tunes, while his parents played harmonies and sweet melodies. As he grew older, getting to that age when life long dreams and wants enter a child's mind, Kouyou wanted to be a rock star, his love for guitar and the sound it made taking effect at that early stage of his child hood years. Even though they were dreams, Kouyou was determined to make them come true, even if it lead to lots of begging to his parents to pay for guitar lessons so that he could be even better at playing the instrument than to be just good at being self taught.
"That lessons was hard"
When Kouyou started taking up lessons for the guitar, around the age of 9 and still in grade school, he began to meet his real friends, kids who he could relate to because of their love of music. Kouyou began to see a way for his dream of becoming a rock star to come true as he grew closer to these group of kids who also took music lessons at the local tutoring company after school. Kouyou would always try to wiggle his idea of creating a band into his new friends' heads, trying to make them understand that his way was the way to stardom, or so he thought. But they just never seemed to give in.
"There is always a way"
Soon it started to seem that Kouyou was loosing faith in himself, his dream of becoming a rock star fading with each of his friends shooting down his request each time he asked. And to think they had a bond between them because of music. Maybe the kids at the tutoring company wasn't the type of friends he needed, was Kouyou's thought. Even so he still didn't have a band to be in. But actually it was only recently after having that thought that Kouyou was invited to join a local band called the Snow Flakes, an old classmate from grade school asking him. And of course he joined, his dream coming to alive and burning brightly.
"Why do I have to be Snow White?"
Constantly Uruha, his self appointed nickname when he joined the Snow Flakes, was reminded that he very much resembled a black haired priestess, only his voice giving off that he was male. And with that in mind his band mates always tried to get Uruha to change his nickname to Snow White so it could match with Snow Flakes. But he always refused, taking a stand by the name Uruha instead, saying that it's beautiful in every way. Around the time when he was scouted at one of their local gigs by a new modeling agency, Uruha colored his hair to a light brown color giving off a dark blond color when in the sun. The agency craved to have the image Uruha gave off and promised him to pay him good. At the time Uruha didn't know that the modeling agency was still in the works, but when his pictures were released, the agency got in with the big dogs, Uruha being the small catalyst that helped.
When Uruha got big with modeling, so did the Snow Flakes, their popularity raising because Uruha was part of the band. But just as Uruha was getting into his career for modeling, him being already out of high school and going to college part-time, things started to stir up in the band when Uruha couldn't find to balance the band, modeling and school work together all at once. Everything was just so demanding. In the end he chose to stick with modeling and school, coming to the decision that he wanted the money to support his family and his school work, and that his dream to become a rock star was silly and seemed to go no where since no one really like their type of music, hence no record label of some sort.
"Your a Photographer and a Cook?"
When Kouyou first started out as a model, he had already had his own personal photographer assigned to him, his name Lee Jae Wook. A Korean photographer that spoke fluent Japanese. Kouyou befriended the older man, him only being two years younger than Jae Wook, and Jae Wook taught Kouyou many things about the Korean culture. They grew close to each other through the times that they spent working together, Jae Wook being the reason why he applied for a Culinary Arts school as he started to build an interest in just about everything that his photographer was into, because clearly Kouyou was into the older. Kouyou being able attend the same school as Jae Wook.
"Is this okay? Us?"
Kouyou harbored feelings for his photographer for about almost a year until Jae Wook had noticed it and took the liberty of claiming Kouyou as his own love, the older being Kouyou's first love and his first for everything, wishing that he would be his only. Although Jae Wook wish he could promise something like that, but only he knew that he couldn't, Kouyou having to find that out the hard way. Yet for the time being, those short two years and a couple months together were like heaven to Kouyou. Being lovers felt so right for them.
"I don't believe it was a waste."
But Lee Jae Wook had a bad heart condition and his happy days were soon coming to an end. But on his last day he gave his whole heart and soul to Kouyou, wishing for the other to be happy and live, stay healthy and safe. That day Kouyou cried his heart out and dropped everything, his school life and modeling. He closed himself inside his room back at his parents house and waited his depression out. He need a distraction, he need to forget about Jae Wook.
Just as the year was ending Kouyou found his way back on track, his mind developing drastically through his short depression and his awakening ability, illusions, acting as a comforting element to ease his pain. He went back to college, but this time going for a teaching major instead, something that was way off from cooking and didn't make him think too much about his deceased lover. Kouyou got into the subject of Sexual Education and Health, finding that topic more interesting and more in demand than any other teaching position. He finished school without any trouble, where as he actually finished early and decided to get his major to be for teaching as a professor, but that school work was part time as he had already started teaching at some high school. Takashima sensei found himself to be very unsuccessful in his teaching business as a high school teacher, always finding that he had a handful of students becoming 'fans' of his in some sort of way. Thus this caused the teacher to move from and to different schools. The only reason he didn't just drop teaching and finished his college school work was because he need the money to support his school payments. But as of last year Kouyou was finally able to put a hiatus on his teaching and finish school.
"Korea has a nice breeze."
After he had finished school he moved to Korea in hope to escape his life in Japan and his past students. There he applied for Dankook University as the Professor of Sexual Educations and Health. Part of being the professor for this type of course gave Professor Takashima the chance to shine and polish his abilities as an Illusionist, being that with almost every lesson that he gave had to deal with Kouyou using illusions and showing his students better images than what was on boring old video tapes. And currently now he is still teaching this way at Dankook University.
"The High Schoolers are way cuter."
After leaving Dankook University and giving up his life as a illusionist, Kouyou went back to teaching High Schoolers, finding a perfect job at St. Ordalia's All Boy's School Academy, where it seemed to be just crawling with all types of delicious boys to devour. Even the teachers looked good to eat.
I know it's long, but that's life for you. It just keeps getting longer.
