Biography
Senku Ishigami (Japanese: 石いし神がみ千せん空くう, Hepburn: Ishigami Senkū) was a Japanese male human born in the modern age who came to be adopted by Byakuya Ishigami who was the best friend of one of his biological parents. Senku was adopted by Byakuya Ishigami. One of his birth parents was allegedly Byakuya's best friend, but the circumstances that led to the adoption are unknown. During Senku's childhood, he always had an interest in science ever since he dreamed about going into space in first grade. Ever since that moment, he had fallen in love with science and started fighting for his dream by reading many books and trying many different experiments and inventions. Overtime, with the help of his adoptive-father, Senku would gain the means he needed. Senku would later befriend Taiju and Yuzuriha, where their friendship becomes unparalleled as they assisted with Senku's experiments. Part of their experiments involved deploying light objects into orbit with a self-made rocket. The handicrafts club member, Yuzuriha, made knitted stuffed toys of herself, Senku, and Taiju. The rocket did not make it all the ways to outer space, but it shot the stuffed toys out into space. To help Byakuya pass the swimming exam of the JAXA Astronaut Program, Senku built a special swimsuit. When he was 10 years old, Senku and Taiju conducted more experiments but failed. Senku then realized he needed professional help, so he sent an email to NASA and told him of his exploits. A scientist called Dr. Xeno replied and tells Senku what he would need to conduct his experiment. Senku and Taiju are stunned by the price and Senku decides to get the money. Senku flew out to America and met with his father who is overjoyed to see him again but becomes disappointed when it turns out that Senku takes his credit card and flies back to Japan. Senku then buys his item and starts experimenting. Sometime later, an older Senku decided that he has a lot to learn. To that end, Senku decides to travelled to Africa to learn about ebola while Taiju is shocked by his action. During his time there, Senku ate lion meat. Senku later visited his father at NASA, where he admired a monument of a ship before being approached by Xeno who silently stood next to him, both obviously knowing each other. An excited Byakuya greets his son and ask why he seems spaced out, as Senku watches Xeno walking away and Senku tells his father nothing. Prior to the petrification, Senku watched a televised report of Byakuya on his phone. He was amused when Byakuya told him on the live interview that he was going to bring him back space souvenirs. This would be the last time Senku ever saw his father.
