Takebayashi Ippei

Ippei, known as Ippei-chan by Maki, hangs around with Maki despite him being a male. The relationship is questionable as a boyfriend/girlfriend. Ippei is cheerful and full of energy just like Maki, but he is also very laid back as well. He is a part of the Tennis Club and, according to Maki, could be better than her, but because he does not like it, he ditches the club most of the time. He is also friends with Cham.
