[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/160877_9262.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/RyoheiKimura (Japanese), Creator/ChrisPatton (English)
TheProtagonist. Antisocial and introverted, first year high school student Kaoru has been constantly moving from town to town and transferring schools due to his father's naval job, his latest move bringing him to Kyushu. He is a classical pianist, but after befriending Sentarou and Ritsuko, he develops an interest in jazz. He has feelings for Ritsuko.
----
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:In the manga's finale chapter, he and Ritsuko are expecting their first child.]]
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Sentarou's Brawn. Kaoru is intellectual, Sentarou prefers his fists.
* ChickMagnet: Attracts many girls after the cultural festival, much to his bewilderment.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Ritsuko. He goes out of his way to treat her very well, even after finding out [[spoiler:she likes Sentarou]].
* TheGlassesGottaGo: A male example. He sometimes deliberately takes off his glasses around Ritsuko after she compliments his face once.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sentarou. He becomes very attached to and concerned about him, they love playing music together and they practically become inseparable. Not that he'd admit it.
* HopelessSuitor: He has unrequited feelings for Ritsuko [[spoiler: (who has feelings for Sentarou instead), but it's subverted when she eventually moves on from Sentarou and reciprocates Kaoru's feelings]].
* HospitalHottie: Becomes a resident doctor after the timeskip.
* InSeriesNickname: Sentarou refers to him as "Bon," which is short for "Bonbon-dono"--the Kansai dialect for a green or naive man from a well-to-do family. The Crunchyroll subs adapt it as "Richie".
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Was an outcast in his past schools because of how smart and wealthy he is. In his current school it's not terribly different but he at least has Sentarou and Ritsuko with him.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He genuinely wants to support Ritsuko, in spite of his own feelings.
* {{Megane}}: Wears glasses and is quite attractive with and without them (but especially with).
* NewTransferStudent: Transfers to the school he goes to now.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Most likely inspired by Bill Evans, he's even compared to him multiple times in the series!
* ParentalAbandonment: His mother left him for certain reasons and his father is often away for work.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Sentarou's Red Oni. Sentarou is HotBlooded, Kaoru is intellectual and cynical.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Ritsuko later falls in love with Kaoru.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: For Sentarou/Yurika, partly because he knows Sentarou is in love with Yurika and just wanted him to realize it and partly so Sentarou doesn't get in the way of his chances with Ritsuko. However, he is immediately guilt-ridden about his latter underhanded intentions when Sentarou appreciates how understanding he is (and when he realizes that [[spoiler:since Ritsuko is in love with Sentarou, it hurts her to see him so obviously taken with Yurika]]).
* ThreeAmigos: Kaoru the protagonist with his two good friends Sentarou and Ritsuko.
