Kunimitsu Tomoda
CharacterKunimitsu Tomoda keeps the Sohma dojo running as the right hand to Kazuma Sohma. A former pupil turned aide, he carries fond, faintly embarrassing memories of Kyo's childhood and tends to lighten the mood whenever he appears.
Appearance
Trim and of unremarkable height, Kunimitsu presents himself with the tidy, put-together look expected of someone in a support role. His hair is cropped short and brown, matching his brown eyes, and he favors clean, businesslike attire suited to work at the dojo.
Personality
Courtesy defines him, and nowhere more so than in how he treats his old teacher Kazuma. He is steady and reliable in his duties, and sharp enough to have picked up small details about Kyo over the years. Easy company by nature, he often supplies a bit of humor to the scenes he turns up in, sometimes at Kyo's expense.

History
Before taking on his current post, Kunimitsu trained at the dojo as one of Kazuma's students. He eventually stepped into the assistant role, staying close to the school and its people. His long presence there meant he watched Kyo grow up, and he can still recount the odd anecdote from those early days, including one about a young Kyo who wept over a stain left in the kitchen, a surprisingly tender glimpse of the boy.
