Scion of Susano-o
Concept
Chiyo is the distilled essence of punk chaos, constantly redefining himself in twitchy, arrogant sneers of disdain. Although born in Japan, he and his parents (still working on that one) relocated to the states. After a painfully awkward and troublesome childhood, he found that there were only two things that he connected with—music and dressing in women’s clothes. Falling headfirst into the punk scene, he found not only an outlet for his brash, rage-filled emotions but a slightly more socially acceptable way he could dress—the punk aesthetic of makeup, crazy hairstyles and a certain androgyny filled his almost subconscious need. In his late teens he found himself the talk of the town, a youth with new ideas and a fresh take on anarchy. Chiyo had his sights on somewhere else however--his native country, Japan.
Chiyo became obsessed with the J-Rock movement, a style that typified his existence and allowed him even more creative freedom. He played gigs until his fingers bled in order to gather enough money to make it to the Land of the Rising Sun—by this time, Chiyo and his parents were hopelessly estranged. Finally, Chiyo makes it to Japan, only to realize that here he isn’t quite as different—the J-Rock movement is huge now, and waifish strung-out kids with multi-colored hair hang out on every street corner. Here he is, 18 years old, no friends, no contacts, and no cash.
Two years later it is the present, and Chiyo finds himself on the streets (in full drag now), making ends meet by whatever means necessary. He holds down a fragile job as a dishwasher in a noodle bar, and when not up to his armpits in suds is either getting high on the latest designer drug and/or on the street corner with his battered guitar, hoping for big tips. He’s even turned the odd trick every now and then, usually with American businessmen who can appreciate fluent English and a tight narrow ass. But all things aside, he still loves life. There’s so much to do, so much to see, so many people to fuck over!
