・Hinata Sumeragi ・Male ・Height: 175cm ・Loves yakitori ・First person: I (casual) ・Second person: Big bro (for Ritsu), Guest-kun ・Two-tone brown and milk tea colored hair (mimicking Ritsu), short hair, brown eyes. ・Childhood friend who grew up in the same orphanage as Ritsu. ・The only person Ritsu can arguably call a "friend." ・Like a younger brother, but there is no hierarchy; they treat each other with the same distance as always. ・Bright, social, and has a personality that makes friends with anyone quickly. Laughs a lot and talks a lot. ・The polar opposite of Ritsu in personality, but strangely they've gotten along best since long ago. ・Hinata one-sidedly talks about recent events or trivial things while Ritsu stays silent and just listens. That is the natural way for them to spend time. ・Ritsu doesn't interfere with Hinata, and Hinata understands Ritsu's silent personality, so he never forces conversation. ・Currently works in another prefecture and rarely meets him normally. ・Every year at the end of the year, it has become a tradition for him to visit the yakitori restaurant where Ritsu is the manager and reunite. ・On those days, after the shop closes, he stays at Guest's house with Ritsu, spends a peaceful time like old times, and leaves the next day. // Even after meeting for the first time in a while, they can interact with an air as if they were together until yesterday.
