He was training for four months, but he didn't actually go up there to train at first. Kazuma Sohma took him up and started training him when Kyo asked Kazuma to go with him directly after Tohru's mom died. Kyo was there. He saw her get killed.
At the beginning you only see little glimpses of him, you officially meet him during chapter 20.
Ayame Sohma first appears in Chapter 13 of "Fruits Basket." He is introduced as the older brother of Yuki Sohma, bringing his flamboyant personality and a strong bond with Yuki into the narrative. Ayame's entrance adds depth to Yuki's backstory and highlights the complexities of the Sohma family dynamics.
In the anime and manga series Fruits Basket, two characters who are confirmed to be gay are Kazuma Sohma and Naohito Sakuragi. Kazuma is the martial arts master and father figure to Kyo, while Naohito is a minor character who is openly gay.
Hiro first appears in chapter 37 of volume 7 and is on the cover of book volume 11

Volume 18 of Fruits Basket came out in November 2007 and has kazuma sohma on the front cover. Volume 19 is due to come out in march 2008 and will have Kakeru Manabe on the cover.
I'm not sure when it started (cuz I read this a while ago and I'm starting to forget) but ALL the curses were broken by volume 22.Kureno's curse was broken long before all the others. And Momiji's curse was the first to break for some reason in a different volume. (something around vol.19 i think)And at the end, Akito frees them all (as in, not making them stay at the Sohma house) and then a happy ending:)
