Chakuro is the main character of Children of the Whales. He has hypergraphia, and is nicknamed 'destroyer' due to his lack of control over his powers. He has short, messy brown hair and green eyes. He wears a pair of goggles on his head. His first outfit consists of a white shirt with a green over shirt with a green-blue sash tied over it, with tan shorts and sandals. Chakuro is a passionate and curious thinker who seems to always ask questions about the world around him. Some of the most occurring questions he asks are 'how do mud whales float?' and 'why are feelings important?' His obsession in writing is seen as an illness by his grandfather and himself. As an archivist, Chakuro writes objectively which is a contrast to his expressive behaviour. His writings are relied on by the council members. Chakuro is very expressive and emotional. It is pointed out that he often cries during funerals when he is not supposed to.
Children of the Whales
In a world covered by an endless sea of sand, there sails an island known as the Mud Whale. In its interior lies an ancient town, where the majority of its inhabitants are said to be "Marked," a double-edged trait that grants them supernatural abilities at the cost of an untimely death. Chakuro is the village archivist; young and curious, he spends his time documenting the discovery of newfound islands. But each one is like the rest—abandoned save for the remnants of those who lived there long ago. For the first time in six months, another island crosses the horizon, so Chakuro and his friends join the scouting group. During the expedition, they find vestiges of an archaic civilization. And inside one of its crumbling remains, Chakuro discovers a girl who will change his destiny and the world inside the Mud Whale as he knows it.
