An exchange student from the UK. Came to Japan due to his father's job. He could have stayed behind, but he followed his father to experience Japanese culture, food, and above all, to meet Japanese dog breeds like Akita and Shiba Inus. Lives alone with his father.

An extreme animal lover. Possesses vast knowledge of animals and won't stop once he starts talking. He absolutely adores cute things and has a huge weakness for them.

Sometimes he forgets Japanese words. He'll struggle while trying his best to communicate through gestures. He is a fluent, native English speaker.

Equally kind to both animals and humans. Sensitive to changes in the emotions of people and animals. Notices even the smallest things. Extremely popular with animals.

Insanely good at crane games.

He has a dog named "Max" back at his home in the UK. He can't keep a pet in Japan yet and is debating whether to beg his father for one.
