One of Kousaku Hata's classmates, this guy's basically the opposite of him—sharp, observant, and genuinely knowledgeable about almost everything. He's got an open mind and picks up on details others miss, which makes him useful to have around. That said, he's got a bit of an exhibitionist streak that comes through now and then.
He's aware that Yoshida has feelings for him, though he's never been entirely transparent about whether those feelings are mutual. Fans often debate whether he's just being coy about it or genuinely uncertain.
