Oda's a friend and film school colleague of Iwasaki's who shows up in Fashion Model. He's the type to crack jokes, but there's something real underneath—he's genuinely intimidated by Fuchi, even though he'd never fully admit it.

That's why he casts her in a secondary role, despite his obvious discomfort around her.
