“Children will notice things we don’t. I’ve already failed one time, so I don’t want to make the same mistake again.”

The school’s newly employed English teacher. Though he’s had a teaching licence for some time, he hasn’t had much luck with getting jobs, so this is his first time teaching in front of a classroom. Before this, he used to work in the city at a cram school. He’s optimistic and a bit straight forward, but he’s long held the dream of becoming a teacher. Due to an incident in the past he was involved in, he’s extremely sincere in his dedication to the students, but he often misses the mark. Due to moving for his new job, he was recently dumped by his girlfriend. He’s the youngest child of a family who run a western restaurant in Yokosuka. A heavy drinker. He falls in love quickly.
