Hokkaido

Satoshi Umeki ( 埋め木 サトシ, Umeki Satoshi), better known as Hokkaido, is a fanmade Hetalia character.

His name used to be Ezochi before Japan re-named him.

Appearance
Satoshi is a short boy who appears rather weak and feminine. He has black hair which he wears open. Only a bit of his hair is pinned up with a hair-clip at the side of his head. His longer hair reaches his shoulders while the shorter hair's barely at the height of the male's ears. Hokkaido has bangs and wears, as mentioned before, a hair-clip that is shaped like the flower on his flag. Japan gave this hair-clip to him - which is now treasured by him - as a present.

The boy's eyes are dark brown and look similiar to Japan's. Satoshi's eyebrows are rather thick and point down, making him appear strict and angry. He has a slight blush on his cheeks, but is pale beside that.

His clothing choice is obviously traditional and eastern themed. It looks more Chinese than Japanese, actually. It's a blue uniform, that the male himself describes as comfortable and flexible.

Personality And Interests
Hokkaido is a polite boy who is an talented hunter and fisher. He is close to nature and speaks somewhat oddly. The male admires all types of flowers and his favorite animals are brown bears. He also finds western women attractive.

Although Satoshi does seem like a shy yet sweet boy, he has some aggressive aspects in his personality. For example, he enjoys teasing his family members (especially China) and acts quite immature towards Japan since he has no idea how to express himself while his older brother is around.

Also, he is hoping to be respected and looked up to. He earns to be a role-model for younger nations, but fails miserably due to his own childishness. Hokkaido tends to overreact to most situations and seems slightly dense and naive. Looking aside from his flaws, he is a quick learner and a patient student with a big heart. The brown-eyed is good with his hands and enjoys spending his freetime sparring, taking baths in the local hot springs and doing snow sports. He is described as innocent, pure and cute by most people.

He finds most things that people would rather describe as weird and gross, adorable and charming. The male is interested in bears as well, which became a somehow unhealthy obsession - especially because he has a pet bear, too.

Not many people find Satoshi intimidating, although he may become so when truly annoyed or mad. That doesn't happen too often though. Mostly it's just him being stubborn and pouty.

Japan describes him as a tsundere, which he denies in an ironic tsundere matter.

Hokkaido used to have a huge hatred for his brother. Both were in a war against each other and couldn't share an opinion about literally anything. Once Hokkaido, who used to be called Ezochi during that period, lost the war against his brother, he became one with him. Japan named him Hokkaido afterwards.

The boy couldn't bring himself to like his older brother for quite a while after joining him. Over the years he started to overcome his intense hate and decided to spend more time with Japan, who he adores to call 'Onii-sama' by now, to make up for the time he showed his brother the cold shoulder.

After a while they actually did get close; Hokkaido was even trying to copy his brother's actions and personality, causing a lot of confusion. He also started attempts to make Japan jealous, craving for his attention.

Although Hokkaido wouldn't be able to admit it, he sees his brother as the dearest and most important person to him.

In the end they did become something like friends.

Hokkaido likes China a lot and adores his cooking. He doesn't eat too much though, avoiding to gain as much weight as America. Beside the cuisine, Hokkaido admires China's character. He finds it relaxing to talk to China and gets upset whenever he has no time for him. Naturally, he doesn't show his sadness and gets all pouty instead. At times he pretends to be busy as well but regrets his act afterwards.

At times he's calling China 'grandpa' just to annoy him.

Hokkaido seems to like her a lot. He follows her around, hoping she'd be free for some training. Apparently he doesn't care much about her being a female and treats her just as he would treat a fellow male friend.
