Kafka Tamura is a fifteen-year-old runaway boy living in Tokyo, Japan. Kafka's real name was never revealed in the book.2. Kafka is a "tall, friendly fifteen-year-old boy who carries a backpack and a bunch of obsessions." Kafka Tamura is as unpredictable as polar bears and as secretive as the government. Kafka always has his bag where he carries his clothes, his music player and, above all, his money. His alter ego describes Kafka as "the toughest fifteen-year-old in the world". He loves to absorb information from books and does not like to connect with others on an intimate level. Kafka Tamura has thick black hair, a high bridge nose, oval lips and a muscular body. He is a person who likes to devour books, listen to old school music and is mostly found in the library.3. An important conversation the character had was when he found out his father had been murdered. He had been living in Takamatsu, in a private library when he ran away from home. Oshima, a transgender librarian, had given Kafka permission to live in a small guest room in the library. Kafka and Oshima discussed his father's death but Kafka did not let out a tear but rather questioned himself. This was because Kafka found himself lying somewhere in the forest with his “shirt covered in blood”. His father's murder had also occurred that same week. Oshima told Kafka that it would be impossible for him to go to Tokyo and then return to Takamatsu, but Kafka felt “uncanny.” Kafka was also wary not only because he "did the math", but also had a conversation with his father, who persecuted him a lot. His father said "one day you will kill your father and be with your mother." Although Kafka was sad, he wasn't particularly heartbroken. The police w...... middle of paper...... The Komura Memorial Library, it's called the library. The entrance had "well-pruned plum trees", "gravel path", "manicured trees and bushes" and the library contained a few genres of books, "mainly old books of Tanka poets and Haiku". “ancient paintings” and it is a “two-storey building”. The library is located near the sea, so “the air smells of the sea. You can't hear the waves”8. The character in a general sense is very mysterious, knowledgeable and insecure. Kafka's strengths are independence, mental strength and the ability to identify. Kafka thinks he can run away from his problems and doesn't need to reveal his true identity to others, which makes him untrustworthy. Kafka is also someone who believes that his dreams and imagination are very vivid and real, which makes him think that he is actually experiencing them.
