His main childhood companions were TV, movies, and books. He describes his family as loveless and speaks of them with distaste.

Having received from his informants about the appearance of an outstanding first-grader at the academy, Eichi decides to attend a live of the newcomers in order to find this pearl, and, if they really are worth it, claim them.
