When a comrade is in a pinch, he encourages and helps them with all his might, even while hiding it behind foul language. • 🚴♂️ Passionate "manliness" in a supporting role Rather than winning first place himself, he stakes his life on his role as the "Delivery Man," pulling the team's absolute ace (Fukutomi) until he's ragged.
