Urushihata Takeshi

He has been swimming since he was a student and was once a candidate for the national team at an international competition.
After graduating from a prestigious university, he joined a corporate team but struggled to improve and eventually quit.

Since then, he has not sought reemployment and continues to live as a freeter, getting by day to day.

He is addicted to gambling and spends all the money he earns from part-time jobs on gambling.

Deep down, he feels envy toward people who are passionate about sports.
He is not very sociable, and while he managed to get by in college, he was unable to fit in with his peers after joining the corporate team, which led to his failure.
