He was raised by his mother when Darren was three, when his father mysteriously disappeared, many thought the man had simply abandoned them, but Darren's mother had always believed that her husband had been taken by some supernatural force, making her seem mad to her neighbors.

Darren had a hard childhood, often being bullied on his street for his lack of a father and his crackpot of a mother. He had always been taught that violence was not the answer so he was an easy target to the bullies. Despite this, Darren achieved high marks in school and soon found himself at the top of his Highschool, but despite this he did not know what to do with his life. However, one day, a stranger dropped a leaflet about a prestigious graduate's after-school known of Yokai Academy, his mind made up, Darren entered the school.
