And the PS2 version had them have the same number of CGs, which was altered due to image-merging in the DS version.

- Missing Mom: His mother doesn't live with him and his father.
- Nice Guy: Absolutely sweet and polite. He doesn't like violence or raising his voice, but is willing to get out of his comfort zone to protect the heroine. Even if he can't handle it very well.
- No-Sell: His attack in the Pillow Fight minigame, Nature Guard. It causes a little sprout to pop out of his head, leaving him temporarily immune to getting hit by pillows.

- Shrinking Violet: Timid around strangers. Additionally a fitting aspect, given his love for plants.

Kazuma Suzuka is a hothead and passionate basketball player. He always sports a band-aid under his left eye. He's very talented when it comes to playing basketball, which allowed him to get a place among the regulars early on, but he has problems playing as part of a team.
Kazuma comes off as quite rude to the heroine at first, taking a bit to get closer to a romantic relationship. He'll see his flaws and even become attached to and very protective of the heroine.
- The Ace: At least when it comes to basketball. According to RADIO DRAMA Vol.02, he is good enough to catch the attention from Japanese basketball league.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: The Girl's Side Days 2013 event changed him into being more readily attractive when compared to the original game.

- Blue with Shock: His chibi-form is blue with fear in the face in the haunted house or when Tamami is using her attack in the Pillow Fight minigame.

- Really not good at academic studies, often having to take remedial lessons. Unlike Madoka, though, Kazuma is impressed by the heroine's high grades.

And even his attitude towards the heroine changes, starting off as blunt and almost rude, before becoming more friendly. And eventually treats her as a 'woman' he is in love with, instead of just another girl he knows from school. Compare his behavior at lower and higher affection and the differences are staggering.

The two share similar CGs — meeting them, visiting their house, revealing their fear, an event acts as a continuation of a previous event, a spring date involves protecting the heroine, a summer date involves water and an autumn date takes place at Habataki Mountain area — and have something special occur in their confessions. They also had the same number of CGs, but this was altered for the DS version because of image-merging.
