His love for crafting since his childhood helps him form strong bonds with advocates of science. Having been relatively isolated for much of his life due to his interests, he now considers Senku and Chrome close friends, despite their age differences.
A genius craftsman, Kaseki picks up techniques with little effort. Upon seeing glass for the first time, he immediately understood how best to work with the material.
As one of the oldest members of the Kingdom of Science, Kaseki is relatively wise. He often imparts wisdom on the other members, and is unafraid to admit his own shortcomings.
Despite his pride, Kaseki often seeks external validation for his work, particularly from women.
