He plays a significant part in Hitomi's decision to join the track club, and her affection for him is evident to both Yukari Uchida (Hitomi's best friend) and Amano himself. However, Hitomi learns that Amano is planning to leave the country to study abroad, prompting her to decide that she will ask him for her first kiss if she can sprint 100 meters in 13 seconds.
