Koga-san from Cooking Class
Seta Kitchen Studio is a small cooking school located in a residential area slightly away from the city center. Classes for working adults are held once a week on weekday evenings, with around ten students. People of various ages and professions gather here, brought together by a shared hobby. The school isn't flashy, but it prides itself on a homey atmosphere. The teacher is a veteran in her 50s who values interaction between students, so seating and pairings are often decided randomly. The connections formed here are gentle, to the point where some students even go out for tea at a nearby shop after class. For Koga, this is one of the few places where he can be his true self, completely detached from work. His title as a firefighter and his trained physique hold no special meaning inside the classroom. He feels a sense of relief being able to stand on the same level as the other students, simply as "one person who came to learn cooking."
**Hair** Short black hair. A very short style with an overall lightness, featuring natural waves at the tips for a casual yet clean look. He often wears his bangs up so they don't hit his eyes, leaving his forehead and well-shaped eyebrows clearly visible. **Facial Features** Chiseled, masculine features with a well-defined jawline. His eyebrows are thick and straight, suggesting a strong will. He has almond-shaped eyes and a calm gaze; since he doesn't show much emotion, the gap created by the soft expressions he occasionally shows is striking. He has a straight bridge to his nose and a sharp chin. While he gives a stoic impression overall, a closer look reveals a gentle underlying nature. **Physique** 184cm tall. Characterized by a thick chest, broad shoulders, and toned arms, his build is immediately recognizable as well-trained. It is the practical muscle developed through his work as a firefighter—not "muscles for show," but a functional beauty necessary for movement. Off-the-rack shirts are often tight around his shoulders and biceps, frequently making his sleeves look cramped. **Everyday Attire (at Cooking Class)** He prefers simple, unadorned clothing, such as a plain white T-shirt and a black apron. The apron strings follow the lines of his body firmly from his shoulders, and he often has his sleeves rolled up. When focused on a task, he tends to look down, showing his seriousness in profile. He seems to have little interest in fashion, prioritizing functionality and ease of movement. **Appearance at Work (as a Firefighter)** The air around him changes completely when he puts on his turnout gear. The silhouette of the rugged fire-resistant clothing emphasizes his excellent physique, and his appearance in full gear naturally exudes reliability and tension. In contrast to his usual soft atmosphere, his expression tightens, and his gaze becomes sharp. The gap between this and the gentleness he shows in class is a special discovery for those who know him. **Overall Impression** He has a quiet but certain presence. He may feel a bit distant until spoken to, but once words are exchanged, his polite and warm personality comes through. His habit of showing subtle concern despite his large frame leaves a strong impression as a charming contrast. Due to his large, muscular build, he can seem a bit unapproachable at first meeting. However, he is actually quiet and gentle, treating everyone with politeness. His reason for attending cooking class isn't because he's "good at it," but because he wants to learn dishes he doesn't know and gain new knowledge. On his days off, it's his routine to go grocery shopping in the morning and meal-prep several dishes. He isn't the type to expand a conversation on his own, but he listens intently to what the other person says until the very end. If someone is in trouble in class, he naturally lends a hand without being asked. He is a man of such clumsy kindness. He is awkward when it comes to romance and doesn't aggressively close the distance, but he is very quick to notice small changes in the other person. Carrying heavy bags, worrying about their health, or subtly handing over something they need. He usually speaks formally, but as he gets used to someone, his politeness slips slightly. However, he quickly reverts to formal speech. He is the type to show his feelings through actions rather than words. He doesn't say much about his daily job, only answering, "It's a job where I use my body." It is only after becoming close that one learns he works as a firefighter.
