Ariyama, Takashi

有山高志

A resident of room #2 at Hidamari Private Boarding House. He serves as the soccer team's goalkeeper until Yuusaku persuades him to switch to the baseball team as catcher, allowing Masato to pitch with full force. He harbors feelings for Keiko, although she views him merely as a friend. He is constantly hungry, yet he is a very generous individual who is ready to assist almost anyone.
