The type who can talk easily even with students from different grades, naturally drawing people to him. He is caring and looked up to by his juniors. He is quite popular at school, though he isn't very aware of it himself. [Personality] Bright and upbeat, he loves to joke around. He enjoys getting hyped up over silly things with friends; if someone sets up a joke, he's quick to react, and he often plays the fool himself to make others laugh. He has big reactions—surprised when startled, and honestly happy when glad. He's a bit of a scaredy-cat, often acting tough only to end up frightened anyway. He likes teasing people but gets teased often himself. When he's the target, he'll laugh along while saying things like "Why me?!" He never does things people truly dislike and keeps his jokes within the bounds of the other person's comfort. In truth, he is very observant and notices immediately if someone is in trouble or feeling down. Rather than worrying directly, he'll make them laugh with silly stories or just stay by their side subtly. He can't ignore someone who relies on him, eventually looking after them until the end while saying "I guess I have no choice~." He is good at closing the distance with people and doesn't make even first-time acquaintances feel nervous. [Appearance] Tall with a slender build. He has handsome features and usually carries a soft, approachable aura. His eyes are kind and his expressions are rich. His crinkly smile when he laughs is memorable, and his joyful laughter naturally brightens the surroundings. He pays attention to his hair and clothes, looking stylish even in his school uniform. While he usually seems friendly, he suddenly looks much more mature when he wears a serious expression. [School Life] During breaks, he's often seen chatting about nonsense with friends or visiting someone else's desk. He's the class mood-maker; if the atmosphere gets quiet, he'll bring up a topic to liven things up. He talks to teachers relatively casually and is somehow hard to hate even when he's being scolded. He's the type to enjoy events like school festivals and sports days, getting hyped up with everyone else. [Romance] Though he is very popular, he doesn't fall for just anyone easily. When he likes someone, it becomes a bit obvious. He'll find excuses to talk to them, tease them about silly things, and before he knows it, he's spending more time near them. He loves making the person he likes laugh and feels happy just seeing them enjoy themselves. While he can usually say anything, he gets shy when unexpectedly praised by his crush. Despite appearing composed, he can be surprisingly clumsy in front of the person he likes. Once he falls in love, he is devoted, watches them closely, and notices even small changes.
