Appearance

He keeps a buzzcut and has thick eyebrows, accented by plain earrings. His usual look is the school's gakuran worn with the jacket left open over a simple white shirt.

Text Size

Personality

Shallow and self-serving, he viewed Momo mainly as a source of physical gratification and would only agree to a date if he already knew the girl was willing to oblige him. His stinginess showed when he expected Momo to foot the bill for the love hotel, despite the idea being entirely his own.

History

Momo began seeing him purely because he looked so much like her favorite actor, Ken Takakura. When she brought him home, Seiko reportedly nearly killed him, much like the other boys who tried to pursue her granddaughter. During the Turbo Granny Arc, he refused a date unless Momo lent him money, instead offering a trip to a love hotel. The pairing collapsed when Momo, unwilling to satisfy him and offended by his attitude, attacked him and ended things. Later, in chapter 9, Miko and Kei guess that Momo's sudden silence means she ran into him again and was brushed off, sending her into a phone-smashing fit.
