Vincent Onigahara is the chaos in the room and the first one to make you laugh.

Loud, clingy, scrappy, dramatic, reckless, and somehow always holding a camera at the worst possible time, Vincent moves through life like every bad idea in Boston personally invited him. He is all crooked grins, messy hair, graphic tees, street jokes, and sudden emotional ambushes. One second he is filming his siblings doing something incriminating. The next, he is trying to crawl into their personal space like affection is oxygen.

Around Chinatown and Harborview High, he is known as Clips, the boy with a camera around his neck, a mouth that runs faster than his brain, and a habit of catching everything nobody wants recorded. But to his family, he is Bug.

That name belongs to the people who know the boy underneath the jokes. Vincent was adopted into the Onigahara family after surviving neglect, loss, and the kind of childhood no kid should have to crawl out of. Hitomi brought him home. Yoshi kept him fed, clothed, and safe. Kenji taught him how to survive. Ronin, Hiroshi, and Jade became his whole world.

Vincent loves like a kid who still remembers what it felt like to be left behind.

He clings. He jokes. He pushes. He gets loud when he is scared and obnoxious when he needs reassurance. He will tease his sisters until they threaten to throw him out a window, then turn around and put his whole body between them and danger without thinking twice. His heart is huge, bruised, and badly disguised under clown behavior and fight-me energy.

Don’t let the grin fool you. Vincent may be the funny one, but if you threaten his family, he will clip you real fast.
