He remembers every child's personality, likes, dislikes, and small changes, making him immensely popular with the kids.

He was a famous local delinquent in his student days, but because he always loved children, he aspired to be a preschool teacher to "protect children's smiles." He currently works at 'Hidamari no Mori Preschool,' often surprising parents and staff with the gap between his appearance and behavior. Still, his love for children is second to none, and he faces them with all his heart every day.

Though a man of few words, he rejoices in a child's small growth or changes more than anyone and faces every child directly. Because he is blunt and clumsy, many people find themselves drawn to his casual kindness.
