Bob Pushkaboomda

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 15:09, 2 August 2007

Despite that no one used to like him, he's one of Kokoro's top bishies now.

Bob Pushkaboomda first appeared in Kokoro as the lawyer who went through every attempt to divorce Ryou and Ichigo. However, he failed to do so, therefore he lost his job and somehow ended up living at Cafe Mew Mew, where he still lives to this day, sitting in the cafe sink, eating lasagna, and watching Disney movies. He's best friends with Shimizu Arisa, dating Murahara Sakura, and is the new bishounen around who's biggest fear above all else is the fangirl mob. However, considering he had countlessly complained about wanting to be a bigger bishounen than Ryou, that is what he gets.

History

Before Kokoro

Bob was a happy kid for the early part of his childhood. He had his two parents, his older brother, Lucas, his older sister, Emma, and his twin sister, Allie. He was extremely attached to Emma, and spent most of his time following her around and playing games with her. Despite being much older than him, Emma never minded all of the time they spent together. She was also the one who always encouraged Bob to follow his dream of playing guitar, instead of becoming a lawyer like the rest of the family. However, there came a time where things were no longer so happy.

Eventually, Emma died at the young age of 16, which broked apart the Pushkaboomda family. Lucas had run away years before, his mother grew sick and was almost on the brink of insanity from the loss of her two children, and his father looked at no one besides his wife. Feeling that there was never else to do, Bob ran away from home.

Somehow or other, Bob ended up moving to Japan where he began to study law. He left his childhood completely behind and began growing up way too fast, becoming a simple, mature, and serious teenage boy. Eventually he met with Sarah Cohen who had been a brief friend of his back in America, and the two formed a close friendship (they say they had dated, but in truth, they never really had a romance form between them). However, eventually, Sarah disappeared, leaving Bob alone yet again.

Of course, things had already begun to change when Bob recieved a case to divorce Shirogane Ryou and his "wife", Ichigo.

Kokoro Days

Bob first appeared as a unnamed lawyer, called up by Ryou and Ichigo during one of their numerous fights in which Ichigo requests a divorce. However, because Ryou keeps denying to go through with it, Bob is left with his career in their hands, watching and hoping that they just give up already. In the end, the two stay together and for that reason, Bob fails to get the divorce through and hence loses his job.

After this incident, Bob disappeared from Kokoro for a while, but reappeared when called up once again during a court case in which Ichigo accused Ryou of cheating on her, although Bob was pretty much ignored throughout this whole event anyway. Because he was seen as an evil man for countlessly trying to divorce the couple, he was hated by all of the Kokoro girls and was constantly being tied up and beaten. However, eventually he was treated kindly by Plum, and as he became best friends with her, he also fell in love.

Bob ended up becoming a part of the Kokoro team, although he usually stood aside and didn't involve himself in the whole mess, unless Plum happened to drag him into it (it wasn't as though anyone really liked him anyone). Eventually though, people began developing quite a liking towards Bob and soon enough girls were constantly following him around, teasing him for his name, and making fun of his liking towards sleeping in the sink.

Although he was originally thought to end up marrying Plum someday, he became quite depressed when she began dating Shirogane Kyr, and began constantly whining about not having a girlfriend. Soon enough, he and Cherry began dating. Even so, Bob was still envious of the fact that Ryou was the top bishounen in Kokoro, and complained that girls didn't seem to care for him so much. But apparently when Bob complains, Bob gets, and eventually after quitting his job as a lawyer (for the hundredth time), he became a law teacher at Cherry's school and soon enough, fangirls were chasing him all throughout the city.

As of now, Bob still lives in the cafe, quite peacefully, although now he's forced to share a room with his sister, Allie, who eventually showed up and claimed she was staying. Still, he says his quite happy, having a good un-dramafied relationship with his girlfriend, and still being dragged around by Plum on random adventures (which he claims to hate, but secretly, one knows he enjoys it oh so much).

Kokoro Draft Future

At the beginning, he was thought to marry Plum, but soon enough things changed, and so did the future in Kokoro Draft. In this future, Bob marrys his current girlfriend, Cherry, and the two have a daughter, Kaoru Pushkaboomda. Also in this future, Bob seems to be a big-time lawyer and an extremely top-rated bishounen, alongside his silent rival, Ryou.

Personality

...

Lovelife

• Shimizu Arisa: Arriving in Kokoro, Bob was just a big ol' grouch, who hated the world and everybody in it (yes, I exaggerate, so what?). However, there was one person whom he soon became connected to. Plum was the only one of the group who actually began being nice to the boy, and eventually the two became best friends. And upon watching her perform karaoke, singing along to "I Will Survive", he fell in love. However, she had always been oblivious to his feelings and didn't even realize how he had become heartbroken when she formed a relationship with Kyr. After that incident, Bob never mentioned his feelings for her again, so no one really knows when or whether his feelings for her disappeared.

• Murahara Sakura: After the whole incident with Plum, Bob stayed out of the whole relationship thing with everybody. But eventually, he began whining about being single, along with Murahara Sakura. Seeing these two complain about the same thing, Arisa developed the idea of setting the two up together. Though they had gotten along prior to this, once Plum informed them of her idea, they began to grow dislike towards one another. Still, eventually, the two realized they did care about each other and eventually began to date due to their own developed feelings and not Plum's apparent "matchmaking skills".

• Sarah Cohen: Before dating Cherry, Bob insisted that he had never had a girlfriend before in his life, but then one day, his parents appeared at the cafe for a visit, and immediately recognized Sarah Cohen, revealing that she and Bob had dated a few years back. After a moment of shock from everyone (and Ryou's complaints towards Bob stealing his childhood friend), Bob revealed that before Sarah went to America and met Ryou, she had lived in Florida for a short time with Bob and his family, before moving away shortly. However, years later, when Bob was working in Japan as a lawyer, they met once again and began "dating", although it was more of a close friendship than anything. Eventually, Sarah left again, and the two saw each other once more when Sarah showed up at the cafe. Bob learned of how she dated Ryou in the past and the two chose to keep their past relationship a secret to avoid complications. Now the two are simple friends with no romantic feelings whatsoever.

• Shirogane Ichigo: It was quite a shock when Bob admitted to having had liked Ichigo a bit back when he first moved to the cafe. At first, he couldn't stand the limitless mushyworks with her and Ryou, but did eventually find her to be cute. However, he didn't bother with these feelings because of her and Ryou being together and eventually even forgot he had liked her to begin with. Surprisingly, the two do seem to be good friends out of the cafe and have bonded countless times, even going shopping together on several occasions.

• Bubblegum Redtree: No relationship between these two had ever formed, but Plum did reveal one day that back in the early days of Kokoro, Bob did have a slight crush on her. However, in truth, he had just thought she was cute, considering he didn't really know her, and had just said he liked her in order to hide his feelings for Plum.

Pubo

As much as he may be in denial of the fact, Bob's a gijinka. It happened years ago due to Plum's tendency to mess with anything belonging to Ryou, when she dragged Bob down into the Shirogane lab. After messing around with things, somehow Plum accidently stuck a needle in Bob's shoulder, and before he knew it, he had transformed into a small shiny blue cat.

Although he's thankful he didn't turn into a mew, he still hates the fact that he's been categorized in with all the "magical" and "injected" people, instead of remaining a regular average human. The few times Bob has transformed into a cat, no one has ever seen the reason for the transformation, and Bob doesn't say much about it either, so the reasons for transformation is unknown. As for transforming back, apparently eating a sugary treat can help him transform back, works just as well (could it be because both are sweet, who knows?).
