Akaishi, Osamu

赤石修

Akaishi is a childhood friend of Kou and Wakaba, sharing their age. In part one, he harbors a crush on Wakaba and feels jealous of the time Kou spends with her. During elementary school, he was barred from pitching for his Little League team due to fights with opposing teams. Although he could throw a 100 km/h fastball back then, Kou was able to hit a home run off one of his pitches.

Spoiler

His father owns a liquor/sake store.
