GOKUDERA HAYATO | KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! | [personal profile] 59 | TYL: [personal profile] righthand | CHILD: [personal profile] mafiosino

miscellaneous head/-canon and information:

I play Gokudera pretty strictly from the manga, but I find it both useful and interesting to extrapolate on my own and flesh out the gaps with information from the anime, novel, and information book canons. With all of that in mind, what's written below is a conglomeration of all of the above, with sources listed for translations as necessary, and should not be taken extremely inflexibly.

on identity:
name meaning: 獄寺 Gokudera = prison/lawsuit + court/temple (獄 = 犭/言/犬 = dog/words/dog); 隼人 Hayato = falcon + person (fan translation)
name origin: I hypothesize that "Gokudera" is his mother's surname, since his Japanese heritage comes from her side, and Bianchi is never referred to by that name. She also never refers to him by his whole name, which might have something more to it than the fact that siblings usually don't refer to each other by their full names. I imagine that it's a point of sensitivity for him, and that he deliberately chose to use his mother's name in defiance of his father.
alias: "Smoking Bomb" is his crime alias, go figure! (Though the anime used "Hurricane Bomb" in the end.) He is well known by and comfortable with this title, though these days "Vongola Storm" might be most appropriate.

on family:
parents: unnamed father; Italian mafia boss (manga) & mother, Lavina; Italian/Japanese pianist (name from anime)
siblings: half-sister Bianchi, three years his senior
other: (reluctant) mentor Dr. Shamal

on daily life:
→ supposedly "worked" undercover as a convenience store worker at one point (Rebo to Dlive)
→ ranked #2 in Fuuta's list of mafia members who have no money in their wallets (Vongola 77)
→ struggles to pay his rent (Colore)
→ writes in his own alphabet, G-script! based on hiragana (hold on for volume #, I have to find it again) but I'd imagine he uses it for italian, too
→ subscribes to the magazine "The Wonders and Mysteries of the World"

on substance use:
→ chainsmoker, no matter how much the anime skirted around it, though he does smoke less and less as time goes on in the manga — I hypothesize that he started to ease up as time went on, but it's a habit that persists into his adulthood (manga); I hypothesize that he probably started smoking pretty young, and began out of practical reasons (to light his dynamite), but also to "improve" his image.
→ his novel story (Bakudan Bambino) briefly — but nevertheless pretty explicitly — depicts 12-year-old Gokudera using bribe money to go bar hopping, to the point that he wakes up the next afternoon on the street; though the manga's never addressed him drinking, I think it's believable for him to have messed around while he was on his own.

basic stats:
→ 14 at series start (I hypothesize that he's turned 15 by the series end; hold on while I get my timeline together better)
→ born 09/09 (1990? if canon takes place in KHR's publication year, 2004/2005?)
→ virgo
→ blood type B
→ 59kg
→ 168 cm (claims to be 172)
→ pale silver/grey hair (from his mother), light green eyes (Bianchi has green eyes, too— from his father, perhaps?)
(Vongola 77 & Haru-Haru Interview)

approximate timeline:
age 3: mother dies
age 8: leaves home (Vongola 77/chapter x)
age 12: scouted by the Vongola (Hidden Bullet story)
age 14: arrives in Namimori
age 24: successful right-hand man to the Vongola Tenth
