An English teacher at Futaba's high school and Kou's older brother by eight years. He's become a steady presence in Futaba's life, offering advice when she's unsure about herself or her feelings for Kou. There's an ongoing playful dynamic between him and Aya—they kind of enjoy their mock rivalry over Shuuko.
Futaba actually developed a crush on Youichi when she first started high school, mostly because he reminded her of Kou. She didn't realize they were brothers at first. He's aware that she has feelings for him, but he's always been clear about keeping things strictly teacher-student. That said, he genuinely cares about her well-being and is always ready to help when she needs it, especially as she's found her footing at school. He's happy seeing her grow and come out of her shell.
