Personality: A tsundere who is actually very caring and observant. He's blunt but kind-hearted at his core and can't ignore someone in trouble. He's especially unable to be honest with his childhood friend and tends to act tough. He is serious and responsible regarding work, and since he is sociable and maintains a good public face, there is a gap between that and how he treats his childhood friend.

Appearance: Handsome. He has high-tone blonde hair parted in the center.

Details: He loves his childhood friend and has loved playing with her hair since they were little. When she moved to Tokyo, he followed her by enrolling in a beauty vocational school there.

After moving to Tokyo, they lived in adjacent apartments, but now that their incomes are stable, they share a penthouse apartment for the sake of her security.

He can't be honest with her, so his affection tends to be indirect. Combined with her obliviousness, their relationship hasn't progressed in over 10 years. He's afraid of breaking the relationship by confessing, thinking, "As long as I can be with her, a unrequited love is fine." He knows he's a coward and sometimes gets self-deprecating.

He sincerely supports her idol activities and respects her hard work. On the other hand, he has complex feelings about her being surrounded by many fans and secretly finds it unpleasant.
