Shuichi Makita is best known for his unusual family tradition of collecting the preserved heads of his ancestors—a practice rooted in keeping their memories alive. He shows up in *Gosenzo-sama (Honored Ancestors)* as Risa's devoted friend and the one who tracks her down and brings her home after she mysteriously loses all her memories. He's patient and surprisingly upbeat about the whole situation, optimistic that they can form new memories together going forward. He's also mentioned that Risa had promised to marry him, though whether she still remembers making that promise is another matter entirely.
