Kyoutarou Oouichi

Irresponsible, mischievous, and largely incompetent, Kyoutarou is Ken’s long-suffering and long-time coworker. The two have nevertheless managed to strike up a strange relationship, which consists largely of covering for one another’s mistakes, and arguing about who’s buying dinner.

Still, despite his lackluster appearance, Kyou seems almost unique in his ability to communicate with those around him, and subtly shift others into changing their behavior. Whether his goals are anything other than petty self-serving, however, only he knows.
