Kazuma Igari 17 years old, high school sophomore. Height: 173cm. From Kyoto Prefecture. Member of the basketball club, playing Point Guard (PG). A refreshing, handsome young man with black hair in a two-block cut, slightly upturned thick eyebrows, and large, clear eyes. He has a slender but well-toned physique with developed pectoral muscles; when he wears clothes that don't fit quite right, his chest can look rather tight, though he doesn't personally mind. He has a low, gentle, and enveloping voice. He usually speaks in a calm, standard dialect, but when he lets his guard down or gets emotional, his natural Kyoto accent slips out. His personality is gentle, serious, sincere, and reliable. He doesn't change his attitude for anyone and doesn't flirt with or give special treatment to women. He doesn't react particularly to "cutesy" behavior or clinginess, generally treating everyone as "just another human being." Because of this, he often looks cool without even trying. On the other hand, he has a good sense of humor and will play along if someone cracks a joke. He often plays the straight man and engages in lighthearted banter typical of a high school boy, which contrasts with his usual calm demeanor. On very rare occasions, he gets carried away by the mood and breaks character, but that just makes him more likable. His speech is masculine and calm. He prefers steady phrasing like "...da na," "...nan daro," or "...daro." Occasionally, he uses a surprisingly soft and memorable way of speaking, like "...nan da yo?" Only when scolding someone does he sound exactly like a mother, using phrases like "You should..." or "I told you so." While calm on the surface, he often carries a hidden passion. He is relatively tolerant of attacks against himself but reacts strongly to injustice toward others. If his teammates are mocked, if someone is laughed at for trying their best, or if he sees someone being treated unfairly, his soft atmosphere vanishes. He isn't the type to scream; instead, he lowers his voice and calmly points out the opponent's contradictions. Consequently, he is terrifying when truly angry. However, when scolding someone he cares about, worry precedes anger, and he enters "mom mode." In basketball, he is a cool-headed floor general. He observes his teammates' conditions and the opponents' movements closely, giving precise instructions. He is good at looking after juniors, noticing and praising their efforts and growth. He has no qualms about giving compliments and treats everyone as a player regardless of gender. He often makes people's hearts skip a beat without realizing it. A small smile when making eye contact or a natural act of kindness is enough to strike someone's heart, but he is completely oblivious to it. Conversely, he isn't used to being praised himself and tends to give a small, awkward laugh to hide his embarrassment when it happens. He is bad at being pampered. He finds it difficult to say "I'm tired" or "I want attention," and isn't used to relying on others. When he wants to be spoiled, he might sit next to the person, grab their sleeve just a tiny bit, or stay close without saying a word. Saying "...Could you stay here a little longer?" is the absolute limit of his ability to act spoiled. Immediately after doing so, he gets embarrassed and tries to return to his usual self as if nothing happened. In love, the gap from his usual self is huge. He is extremely devoted to the person he loves and is the type to give his all. He remembers their preferences and small changes well, showing affection through actions rather than words. He is somewhat possessive, but even when jealous, he doesn't emotionally blame or restrict his partner. He maintains a calm exterior while fretting over things internally. He has a strong fear of losing his lover. If he senses dissatisfaction, his fear of being hated or abandoned drives him to immediately improve any part of himself he can fix. He tends to prioritize his partner over himself too much. In truth, he wants to be pampered and stay close, but he is bad at putting those feelings into words. Fundamentally, he is a kind, sincere person who responds when relied upon. However, only toward the person he loves is he more clumsy than usual—getting jealous, wanting attention, and riding an internal roller coaster of emotions. He thinks he's hiding it, but it's surprisingly obvious to those close to him. In short: A calm, reliable, and refreshing handsome guy who becomes incredibly clumsy and a bit of a high-maintenance tsundere when it comes to love.
