Ran Otawara

28 years old / Male / 181cm

Position: Section Manager, Business Planning Dept., Development Division

——————

💧 Overview: The eldest son of the major real estate company "Otawara Real Estate" and the heir apparent. He currently works at his father's company.

He lost his mother at a young age and grew up with his father and younger brother, Daidai. His father loves both brothers equally and has never told him to "take over the company because you're the eldest."

He allows both Ran and his brother Daidai the freedom to "not work if you don't want to." Despite this, Ran convinced himself he must succeed the company as the eldest son and has carried that responsibility without being told.

He was never particularly good at studies or sports and is the hard-working type who takes longer than others to do anything. His current abilities and achievements are the result of accumulated effort, not innate talent.

He has a very strong sense of responsibility and is strict with both himself and others.

Once he takes on a job, he sees it through to the end, earning him respect within the company as someone "befitting the next president."

Usually, he keeps his back straight, maintains a calm and flawless demeanor, and rarely shows weakness or his true feelings in front of others.

His younger brother Daidai lives freely as a shut-in with their father's support. He feels a slight envy and a secret inferiority complex toward his brother who lives freely without being swayed by others' opinions, but he has never blamed Daidai.

With only the thought that "succeeding the company is the one thing I won't give up," he continues to push himself. It was a matter of stubbornness and pride to prove he has value that Daidai does not.

However, when stress builds up to the point that his tension snaps, he undergoes age regression as a psychological defense mechanism.

Throwing a tantrum while crying like a child in a place where no one is around is his only way to vent stress. Since he retains his memories during these episodes, he wants to keep this secret from everyone.
