[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanade2.png]]
The heroine of the story. Kanade can only see the future ocassionally when in physical contact of someone. Optimistic and cheerful, Kanade wants to her power to help others. Her best friend is Eri. Kanade and Arou become a couple early into the story.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Ironically, it was ''Kanade'', who was confessed to -- who was more anguished about the confession because she hadn't given him an answer yet and didn't know how she felt about him -- than Arou, the confessor. This is a mild case because by the end of the chapter, Kanade realizes her feelings for Arou and tells him, resolving the issue.
* [[BettyAndVeronica Betty]]: The Betty to Kaicho's [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica]].
* BookDumb: Has to be tutored by Namiki.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the beginning of the story, Kanade was scared and uncomfortable with touching other people, afraid that she would see their future. By the end of the story? She's a much confident person.

* PluckyGirl
* PoorCommunicationKills: With Arou during Volume 4. They got better.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Raised by her mother and ''grandpa''.
* RelationshipUpgrade: With Arou in Volume 2.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Eri and Kaicho.
* StepfordSmiler: When Kanade is bummed or insecure about something and doesn't want other people to worry about her, especially in Volume 4 when she foresaw Kaicho confessing to Arou and didn't know what to do about it.
* {{Tareme Eyes}}
* ThreeAmigos: Kanade, Arou, and Namiki.
!'''Arou Naitou'''
[-I think I've made a big mistake. But I don't care. "Why do you think you were given the power?" Don't care about that either. In fact... all of society could collapse. But, as long as Kanade is with me... I'll be happy.-]
[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arou-kun.png]]
One of the two male leads. Arou can see the past without fail when in physical contact of both people and objects. Although initially a foil in Kanade's ideals, as he felt it was wrong to meddle in people's lives, Arou gradually desires to help people as well. He is a wonderful cook, and he has a mysterious past that becomes a big arc in the story. Arou and Kanade become a couple early into the story.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Always save Kanade.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Averted -- Arou didn't feel anguished at all, despite the fact that Kanade hadn't given him an answer. In fact, it was ''Kanade'' who was more anguished since she didn't know how she felt about Arou-kun at the time and got all worked up by it. By the end of the chapter, she realizes her feelings for him and tells him, so this is a mild case of the trope.
* BerserkButton: Hurt Kanade or destroy his garden, and you ''better'' start running.
* [[BettyAndVeronica Betty]]: The Betty to Namiki's [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Arou is usually a NiceGuy. But if you happen to press his BerserkButton, watch out!

* HeroicBSOD: From time to time.
* LovingAShadow: Arou isn't in love with Kaicho, but the reason for him treating her nicely is because of Kaichou's resemblence to his mother.
* MissingMom
* MommasBoy: He just wants to see his mother... [[spoiler:even if it means touching objects that belonged to her so he could see a glimpse of her in the past. It was growing so unhealthy on little Arou that his father had to get rid of almost everything that belonged to Arou's mother just so Arou could stay in the present and not leave him behind.]]

* StalkerWithACrush: Averted, but mistaken as one. In Chapter 3, when Arou learns from Namiki that a girl in his school named Ahiru will get injured, Namiki convinces him to follow the girl around to make sure she doesn't get hurt. Matters worsen when Arou -- who is unaccustomed to using his power to help others -- tells Ahiru that she ''will'' get injured because after that, Ahiru and her friends are incorrectly convinced that Arou is StalkerWithACrush as a result.
* StepfordSmiler: Whenever Arou doesn't want other people to worry. Kanade first noticed this in Volume 3. But Kanade asked if Arou has "bitten off more than he can chew" and has asked him to show his feelings more in Volume 5, which Arou gradually does.

!'''Masahiro Namiki'''
[-"I wouldn't touch him if I were you." ... Must be nice to see the world through rose-colored glasses. But you heard those guys. What they said how '''''most''''' people think, or '''''would''''' think, if they knew. "Touching will make us feel less afraid." Yeah, '''''right!''''' Before you get the chance to touch... you'll be rejected! "Creepy." "Unnatural." "Monster." I mean, come on, you must be used to hearing it by now. When one of us touches someone, it's... scary.-]
[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/namiki-san.png]]
One of the two male leads. Namiki can see the future more efficiently than Kanade as can see the future if he focuses long enough, but initially only uses his power for his own benefit. He develops unrequited feelings for Kanade and is Arou's rival for Kanade's affections.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Always save Kanade.
** This is actually how Kanade first meets Namiki when he saved her from getting smacked by a passerby she saved from getting run over by a car (the passerby obviously doesn't know this and lashes out at Kanade for making him late).
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Towards Kanade. Namiki has confessed to Kanade quite a number of times, though nothing comes of it, although the second time Namiki confessed to Kanade, she flat-out told Namiki that she liked Namiki, not that it stopped him (he likes everything about Kanade, she even likes her when she likes Arou). This is anguished because even though Namiki pulls on his smiles, he ''is'' subtly hurting over the fact that the girl he loves doesn't love him back.
* AloofBigBrother: Towards his younger brother Junya, at first.

[-Also... I guess I like that he doesn't lie. Sure, sometimes he says thinks that aren't nice. And sometimes I can't tell what he's thinking. But, those things are a part of Ezawa-kun, too. So, I suppose I'd have to say I like '''''everything''''' about him. When he tells me he really likes me... or along those lines... I really '''''believe''''' in him!-]
[[quoteright:166:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eri-chan.png]]
Kanade's best friend. Eri is very protective of Kanade and treats her in a doting way. She goes out with the popular, ladies' man Ewaza and is really sweet around him instead of her usual self, but wises up when she discovers his playboy nature, punches him, and calls him out on it. Because of this display, Ezawa changes his ways, and they become a couple again, with Ezawa more faithful towards her.

!'''Ezawa'''
[-Honestly, if anything tastes bad, I'll say that it tastes bad, but anything Eri makes I'll eat it all. I don't want to be someone that doesn't understand his own feelings.-]
[[quoteright:131:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ezawa-kun.png]]
A popular student and a ladies' man. Eri goes out with Ezawa, and Kanade tries to tell Eri of Ezawa's promiscuous nature. When Eri goes to discover Ezawa's true nature first hand, she calls him out on it, revealing her true colors as a strong-willed person. Because of this, Ezawa changes his ways and asks out Eri, becoming a couple again. Although he may not always show it, Ezawa truly does care about Eri.
* AmazonChaser: He didn't truly fall for Eri until she revealed her true nature.

The student council president. Kaicho is a dutiful girl who takes her job seriously and selflessly only wants to help the school and the student body as much as possible. She develops unrequited feelings for Arou. Introduced in Volume 4.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Towards Arou. It is definitely anguished because we readers know ahead of time that Arou's going to reject Kaicho.
* BelligerentSexualTension: [[spoiler: With Namiki.]]
* CharacterFocus: Volume 4 and a bit more in Volume 9.
* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds / PairTheSpares: [[spoiler:Hinted at with Namiki, but it's left open-ended.]]

!'''Sou'''
[-You and I... are the same kind of people! Thus, it's possible for me to possess a power as strong as yours. So, Arou! What must I do in order to be able to ''see'' the past without any restrictions?-]
[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unclesou.png]]
Arou's mysterious uncle. He is Arou's mother's brother and has the same power as Arou except that Sou can only see recent events, up to two or three days, unlike Arou, who has practically no limitations to his power. He seems to have a second agenda at hand... Sou's presence is significant towards the growth of Arou's powers, as well as learning more about his mother. Sou desires to make his powers as strong as Arou's so that he can see Sanae again. First appears in Volume 7.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Sou has [[TheCareTaker taking care of]] Sanae for a long time since she's an IllGirl and they were the only family they had left. After Sanae's death, Sou is willing to do whatever it takes to find a way to increase his power in order to have even a glimpse into the past to see her again. To place it simply -- he needed her more than she needed him.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Sou understandably gets upset when [[spoiler:he sees that the only keepsake left of his sister Sanae in Arou's household is a picture of her. Sou also brings Arou to the house that Sou and Sanae lived together at when they were younger so Arou could ''see'' Sanae from the memories of the past and also the house Arou and his family lived seven years ago so Arou could see how Sanae died.]]
* TheCareTaker: Of Sanae when they lived together.
%%* CharacterDevelopment
%%* CharacterFocus
* [[{{Delinquents}} Delinquent]]: According to WordOfGod, Sou has a "hoodlum look."
* {{Expy}}: Sou greatly resembles [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Itachi]]:
--> Hair styles are greatly similar, aside from Sou's thin ponytail.
--> Both are greatly protective of their only sibling.
--> TallDarkAndHandsome? ''Check.''
--> Dislikes their other family members? ''... To an extent.''
** For Sou, that is. The only people a part of his family that he cares about are his sister Sanae and his nephew Arou. He doesn't have a good relationship with Arou's father, Gorou, however. Sou even [[TheNicknamer nicknames]] him, "Kumagorou." In a minor flashback in Volume 9, Sou even beats Gorou up after Sanae tells him that she's pregnant.
* GreenThumb: Sou and Sanae lived in the mountains in their younger years, where they would grow their own vegetables.
* {{Irony}}: Sou briefly takes the picture of Sanae from Gorou's and Arou's home, the only remaining keepsake they have to remember Sanae. It makes sense, though, since Sou doesn't seem to have any keepsake of Sanae's and can't even use his power to ''see'' any memories of Sanae because his power, unlike Arou's, isn't strong enough to see past recent events - and it is implied that the reason why Sou wants his power to become as strong as Arou's is to be able to ''see'' Sanae again.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Goes through great lengths to try to increase his power so that he'll be able to see memories of Sanae. From going to the world's best experts, the best supernatural, investigators, going to a temple... [[spoiler:He even tries to push Arou in front of a moving car to be able to be put into the same emotional state as Arou when he couldn't find Sanae as a child,]] so that he could develop the same kind of unlimited power Arou has.
* [[spoiler:LoveRedeems]]: [[spoiler:When Arou gets lost during the ski trip in Volume 9 after overexterting his power, Sou realizes that he doesn't care about his power and only wants Arou safe (and finally learns to value himself more in the process). After this event, Sou places a picture of Arou right next to the picture of Sanae, showing that he does genuinely care about Arou and has stopped searching for a way to increase his power.]]

!'''Sanae Naitou'''
[-Even if people get hurt, they have the capacity to strengthen themselves again. So don't be afraid to make contact with others. You have to live for yourself.-]
Arou's mother. Sanae was an important person to Arou and the reason why he became so reclusive about his power to see the past until Kanade came along. Arou always looks back at the memories he shared with his mother to give him guidance. Sou is her brother. She is so important that her very first appearance is in ''Chapter 2.''
[[spoiler:Seven years ago, while Sanae was looking for Arou in the rain, she bumped into Arou's elementary school friend, Takeo, who just got into a fight with Arou after Takeo learned he was adopted. Takeo tries to leave, but slips and falls off a cliff and Sanae tries to save him. When Arou connects with the past of the air and rain in a desperate search to find his mother, Arou finds Sanae and an unconscious Takeo. Sanae hurt her foot and can't move and also has a high fever, and Arou panics, but Sanae reassures him to not worry and just stay with her. The police find them, but Sanae is soaked in the rain and does not recover the next day.]]

A stockbroker and Namiki's business partner and guardian, Ootake took in Namiki after finding him on the street. He discovers Namiki's power and decides to use him to win at the stocks. However, when he realizes Namiki's dysfunctional family life, Yuusuke grows to sympathize with Namiki. Seems harsh, but is actually a nice guy. First appears in Volume 2.
* JerkAss -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In his first appearance, the reader automatically gets a bad impression of Ootake for threatening Namiki when he cannot concentrate on his power to foresee the stocks, but the next few times you see Ootaki, it is discovered that he's not such a bad guy after all and genuinely cares about Namiki.

Kanade's grandpa. As a child, Kanade foresaw her grandpa -- a former firefighter -- would die in a fire at a neighboring house. She followed him into the burning house when he took too long and had already rescued a baby. Gen found her and carried her out of there, scolding her for going in after him, though both were thankful the other was not too harmed. As it turns out, Kanade's sight into the future did not happen.

!'''The School Doctor'''
[-Is it all right... for me to feel happy?-]
When Kanade harms herself while changing the future to save someone, she is brought to the Doctor, who learns of Kanade's power and drugs her to render her unable to save another person, in spite because his own sister had the same ability as Kanade and died. Arou reminds the Doctor of how precious his sister is to him and causes him to think better of the power to help others.

Kanade's homeroom teacher disapproves out of the unfairness that the Doctor and he aren't even married yet. The Doctor disapproves because he thinks of Kanade as a sister figure.

Arou's classmate in junior high. He found out about Arou's power and was the only person who accepted him. However, Honma reunites with Arou only to use his power to find criminals and put them to justice. Appears in Volume 5.

Namiki-san's estranged younger brother. First appears in Volume 6.
* TheDutifulSon
* HotBlooded: Almost smacks ''Kanade'' away from him because he doesn't want to be touched by those who can ''see'' (Arou got in the way and got smacked instead). Then, when he sees Namiki smiling with Kanade and Arou, Junya interupts and acts rudely towards Namiki.
** It is revealed that he acted the way he did when he saw Namiki was because he was upset at finding his brother smiling with his friends when he never cracked a smile like that even once at home.
* JerkAss -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although Junya doesn't make the best first impression, it is soon revealed that he is genuinely worried about his older brother Namiki and cares about him.

Arou's father. He's often away on business, but he genuinely does care about his son Arou.
* GoodParents: Arou's dad counts for this, but he just isn't always around and makes certain ''harsh'' choices [[spoiler:(such as taking away anything that belonged to Arou's mother following her death so Arou - when he was only a child - won't unhealthily keep following his mother in his memories, which kept eating him away in the process)]] for Arou's sake.

They are overheard by Takeo, who runs off and blames Arou for this. Takeo bumps into Sanae, Arou's mother, who is looking for Arou.

[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanade2.png]]
The heroine of the story. Kanade can only see the future ocassionally when in physical contact of someone. Optimistic and cheerful, Kanade wants to her power to help others. Her best friend is Eri. Kanade and Arou become a couple early into the story.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Ironically, it was ''Kanade'', who was confessed to -- who was more anguished about the confession because she hadn't given him an answer yet and didn't know how she felt about him -- than Arou, the confessor. This is a mild case because by the end of the chapter, Kanade realizes her feelings for Arou and tells him, resolving the issue.
* [[BettyAndVeronica Betty]]: The Betty to Kaicho's [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica]].
* BookDumb: Has to be tutored by Namiki.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the beginning of the story, Kanade was scared and uncomfortable with touching other people, afraid that she would see their future. By the end of the story? She's a much confident person.

[-I think I've made a big mistake. But I don't care. "Why do you think you were given the power?" Don't care about that either. In fact... all of society could collapse. But, as long as Kanade is with me... I'll be happy.-]
[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arou-kun.png]]
One of the two male leads. Arou can see the past without fail when in physical contact of both people and objects. Although initially a foil in Kanade's ideals, as he felt it was wrong to meddle in people's lives, Arou gradually desires to help people as well. He is a wonderful cook, and he has a mysterious past that becomes a big arc in the story. Arou and Kanade become a couple early into the story.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Always save Kanade.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Averted -- Arou didn't feel anguished at all, despite the fact that Kanade hadn't given him an answer. In fact, it was ''Kanade'' who was more anguished since she didn't know how she felt about Arou-kun at the time and got all worked up by it. By the end of the chapter, she realizes her feelings for him and tells him, so this is a mild case of the trope.
* BerserkButton: Hurt Kanade or destroy his garden, and you ''better'' start running.
* [[BettyAndVeronica Betty]]: The Betty to Namiki's [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica]].

Matters worsen when Arou -- who is unaccustomed to using his power to help others -- tells Ahiru that she ''will'' get injured because after that, Ahiru and her friends are incorrectly convinced that Arou is StalkerWithACrush as a result.
* StepfordSmiler: Whenever Arou doesn't want other people to worry. Kanade first noticed this in Volume 3. But Kanade asked if Arou has "bitten off more than he can chew" and has asked him to show his feelings more in Volume 5, which Arou gradually does.

One of the two male leads. Namiki can see the future more efficiently than Kanade as can see the future if he focuses long enough, but initially only uses his power for his own benefit. He develops unrequited feelings for Kanade and is Arou's rival for Kanade's affections.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Always save Kanade.
** This is actually how Kanade first meets Namiki when he saved her from getting smacked by a passerby she saved from getting run over by a car (the passerby obviously doesn't know this and lashes out at Kanade for making him late).
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Towards Kanade. Namiki has confessed to Kanade quite a number of times, though nothing comes of it, although the second time Namiki confessed to Kanade, she flat-out told Namiki that she liked Namiki, not that it stopped him (he likes everything about Kanade, she even likes her when she likes Arou). This is anguished because even though Namiki pulls on his smiles, he ''is'' subtly hurting over the fact that the girl he loves doesn't love him back.

Arou's mysterious uncle. He is Arou's mother's brother and has the same power as Arou except that Sou can only see recent events, up to two or three days, unlike Arou, who has practically no limitations to his power. He seems to have a second agenda at hand... Sou's presence is significant towards the growth of Arou's powers, as well as learning more about his mother. Sou desires to make his powers as strong as Arou's so that he can see Sanae again. First appears in Volume 7.

--> Both are greatly protective of their only sibling.
--> TallDarkAndHandsome? ''Check.''
--> Dislikes their other family members? ''... To an extent.''
** For Sou, that is. The only people a part of his family that he cares about are his sister Sanae and his nephew Arou. He doesn't have a good relationship with Arou's father, Gorou, however. Sou even [[TheNicknamer nicknames]] him, "Kumagorou." In a minor flashback in Volume 9, Sou even beats Gorou up after Sanae tells him that she's pregnant.
* GreenThumb: Sou and Sanae lived in the mountains in their younger years, where they would grow their own vegetables.
* {{Irony}}: Sou briefly takes the picture of Sanae from Gorou's and Arou's home, the only remaining keepsake they have to remember Sanae. It makes sense, though, since Sou doesn't seem to have any keepsake of Sanae's and can't even use his power to ''see'' any memories of Sanae because his power, unlike Arou's, isn't strong enough to see past recent events - and it is implied that the reason why Sou wants his power to become as strong as Arou's is to be able to ''see'' Sanae again.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Goes through great lengths to try to increase his power so that he'll be able to see memories of Sanae. From going to the world's best experts, the best supernatural, investigators, going to a temple... [[spoiler:He even tries to push Arou in front of a moving car to be able to be put into the same emotional state as Arou when he couldn't find Sanae as a child,]] so that he could develop the same kind of unlimited power Arou has.
* [[spoiler:LoveRedeems]]: [[spoiler:When Arou gets lost during the ski trip in Volume 9 after overexterting his power, Sou realizes that he doesn't care about his power and only wants Arou safe (and finally learns to value himself more in the process). After this event, Sou places a picture of Arou right next to the picture of Sanae, showing that he does genuinely care about Arou and has stopped searching for a way to increase his power.]]

!'''Sanae Naitou'''
[-Even if people get hurt, they have the capacity to strengthen themselves again. So don't be afraid to make contact with others. You have to live for yourself.-]
Arou's mother. Sanae was an important person to Arou and the reason why he became so reclusive about his power to see the past until Kanade came along. Arou always looks back at the memories he shared with his mother to give him guidance. Sou is her brother. She is so important that her very first appearance is in ''Chapter 2.''
[[spoiler:Seven years ago, while Sanae was looking for Arou in the rain, she bumped into Arou's elementary school friend, Takeo, who just got into a fight with Arou after Takeo learned he was adopted. Takeo tries to leave, but slips and falls off a cliff and Sanae tries to save him. When Arou connects with the past of the air and rain in a desperate search to find his mother, Arou finds Sanae and an unconscious Takeo. Sanae hurt her foot and can't move and also has a high fever, and Arou panics, but Sanae reassures him to not worry and just stay with her. The police find them, but Sanae is soaked in the rain and does not recover the next day.]]

!'''Yuusuke Ootake'''
[-''...Ah! Really... So this kid is not some kind of monster. ... He's only someone who got abandoned by his parents. A normal kid. But lately, he's changed a lot, I don't know what happened, but it's fine as it is. Just keep smiling... that bright kiddo smile of yours!''-]

However, when he realizes Namiki's dysfunctional family life, Yuusuke grows to sympathize with Namiki. Seems harsh, but is actually a nice guy. First appears in Volume 2.
* JerkAss -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In his first appearance, the reader automatically gets a bad impression of Ootake for threatening Namiki when he cannot concentrate on his power to foresee the stocks, but the next few times you see Ootaki, it is discovered that he's not such a bad guy after all and genuinely cares about Namiki.

[[{{Exactly What It Says On The Tin}} Kanade's mother.]] She is kindhearted, strong-willed, and ocassionally and insightfully deep.

Kanade's grandpa. As a child, Kanade foresaw her grandpa -- a former firefighter -- would die in a fire at a neighboring house. She followed him into the burning house when he took too long and had already rescued a baby. Gen found her and carried her out of there, scolding her for going in after him, though both were thankful the other was not too harmed. As it turns out, Kanade's sight into the future did not happen.

!'''The School Doctor'''
[-Is it all right... for me to feel happy?-]

Kanade's homeroom teacher disapproves out of the unfairness that the Doctor and he aren't even married yet. The Doctor disapproves because he thinks of Kanade as a sister figure.

!'''Hiroaki Someya'''

!'''Eiichirou Honma'''
[-Because you're '''''blind!''''' Blind to the fact that you've been '''''chosen.''''' You have an ability that the rest of the common herd doesn't. And holding out on it is a '''''sin!''''' But, since you don't seem to know what to do with your power... '''''I'll''''' decide the best way for you to use it!-]

* TheChessmaster
** ''Oh so much.:''
--> [-'''Honma:''' I was sooo happy at that moment! It was kinda like being with an unfriendly cat that you suddenly manage to win over!-] [--I wanted to give him a hug right then and there!--]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: After Arou refuses to use his power to help Honma put people to justice (by looking into their past and seeing if they have committed crimes), Honma blackmails Arou by threatening to use Kanade and her power instead, forcing Arou to agree on helping Honma.
!'''Junya Namiki'''
[-Why do you always talk like that...? '''''And twisting the meaning of my words, I didn't mean it like that at all! You are always so full of yourself! It's really annoying! You might be able to afford anything! But that doesn't give you the right to trample over people's feelings like that! I know you won't believe this, but Mom, Dad, and I are all worried about you, we are suffering!'''''-]
Namiki-san's estranged younger brother. First appears in Volume 6.
* TheDutifulSon
* HotBlooded: Almost smacks ''Kanade'' away from him because he doesn't want to be touched by those who can ''see'' (Arou got in the way and got smacked instead). Then, when he sees Namiki smiling with Kanade and Arou, Junya interupts and acts rudely towards Namiki.
** It is revealed that he acted the way he did when he saw Namiki was because he was upset at finding his brother smiling with his friends when he never cracked a smile like that even once at home.
* JerkAss -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although Junya doesn't make the best first impression, it is soon revealed that he is genuinely worried about his older brother Namiki and cares about him.

%% Tsundere is on this page as Oranyan %%
* YoungestChildWins: Was favored more than Namiki because he did not have the power to ''see''.
!'''Gorou Naitou'''
[-It's been seven years... since her death... It has already been so long...-]
Arou's father. He's often away on business, but he genuinely does care about his son Arou.
* GoodParents: Arou's dad counts for this, but he just isn't always around and makes certain ''harsh'' choices [[spoiler:(such as taking away anything that belonged to Arou's mother following her death so Arou - when he was only a child - won't unhealthily keep following his mother in his memories, which kept eating him away in the process)]] for Arou's sake.

When Arou spends time with Takeo at Takeo's house and touches Takeo's mother's hand, she fears that Arou has learned that Takeo is adopted and not her biological son, but Arou didn't know of this. They are overheard by Takeo, who runs off and blames Arou for this. Takeo bumps into Sanae, Arou's mother, who is looking for Arou. Takeo tries to leave, but falls off a cliff and Sanae tries to save Takeo. Arou finds Sanae with an unconscious Takeo.]]
