Feature
[Japanese studbook number: Symphalangus syndactylus #30]
The individual is one of the children of Monroe and Seven. He is the oldest among brothers and sisters surviving at the time of investigation in October 2011.
He lives with his younger sister, Kanna, and younger brother, Setsu, on the island. He can easily be distinguished from Kanna because they are of different genders. He can also be distinguished from his brother, Setsu, by the larger frame of Jean, the older brother, and his sharper triangular lip line. (These features are related to weight and canine growth and will possibly become ambiguous as Setsu grows up.) Features that are more unlikely to be changed include a shorter distance between the inner corners of both eyes in Jean than Setsu.
