Kousei Arima

Kousei Arima was once a piano prodigy whose trophy-laden childhood made him the envy of the classical music world. Yet when his mother passed away, the trauma shattered his ability to hear the notes he played, forcing him to walk away from the instrument he had devoted his life to. Everything changed in his third year of junior high, when the vivacious violinist Kaori Miyazono swept into his monochrome existence. Fueled by her untamed passion for music, Kousei slowly dismantled the walls he had built around himself. Guided by the bonds he formed with those around him, he rediscovered his love for music and ultimately cultivated a performance style capable of painting the written score in vivid, living color.
