Who they are
On the official English character page, Kisuke is Early 30s and a proud, short-tempered carpenter who looks after people. He holds his liquor poorly. The profile says he lost younger siblings; the event itself is not published. One birthday table wrote Spring 8 in a header and Spring 18 in the body; the other guide says Spring 18.
The same page does not list a romance, dating, or marriage field for any villager. Friendship gifts are a separate system.
Gifts
Liked examples recorded by one Traditional Chinese guide: taro, barley shochu, sweet-potato shochu, beef jerky.
Disliked examples from that same single source: honey-preserved lemon, lemon cake, lemon, raspberry. English item names are not confirmed on an official list, so these stay in the community wording.
What is not published
Event dates, required friendship ranks, and the ending of this villager’s personal story are not on the official page. Those fields stay empty here.
