Asakura, Minami

浅倉南

The neighbor and childhood friend of the Uesugi twins. She is an intelligent and active student who helps her father with household chores and at the family coffee shop, as her mother died at a young age. Minami is a pretty girl who is popular at school and desired by both Uesugi twins. Although her widower father and Mr. and Mrs. Uesugi often suggest that Minami and Kazuya should marry, her heart truly belongs to Tatsuya, as shown through subtle hints. Despite this, she is more often seen with Kazuya and actively supports him on his path to Koushien, leading everyone to believe that Minami is actually in love with Kazuya, the star pitcher.
