Asou Takayasu

Asou Takayasu transfers to Souryou from Kansai (and naturally, speaks with a Kansai dialect), and stays in the dorms. He is a very energetic person, but also very jealous and selfish. He worked with Otoya at a beach clubhouse during the summer, and would go to play the fighting game "Limit Breaker" with him at the local arcade Trafalgar. There he met "DJ RYU", the player with scores he could never beat, and he drives him out of the arcade. Upon entering Souryou, Takayasu finds that "DJ RYU" is Hamana Ryuusuke, Otoya's friend. He likes going to the movies and playing games at the arcade as well as online games. He also loves cats, and has a pet cat named Cube whom he adores (he even uses "CUBE" as his arcade score input name), but he was unable to bring Cube with him since the dormitory does not allow pets.
