“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.

“You aren’t the ones who locked me up, and haven’t been threatening me. ––What are you after? ” A writer for the Hokuto weekly newspaper who specialises in columns and articles regarding juvenile crimes. After finding out his younger brother Mikage Seishirou, who he hadn’t seen since their parents divorced, had died under mysterious circumstances, he came to the school to investigate it himself.

Due to being busy with work, his treatment of his brother in recent years had been rather uncaring, which he regrets. He’s generally outspoken and indifferent towards strangers, but at heart he’s the caring older brother type. A heavy smoker.
