Asuka, Daiki

飛鳥大貴

Daiki Asuka is a fourteen-year-old boy attending St. Paulia's Private School, where he ranks as a top student in his class. However, he lacks physical strength and motor skills.
Known as Asuka Jr. to his classmates, Daiki Asuka is the son of Detective Tomoki Asuka. Since his father has failed to capture Saint Tail and does not treat the thief's apprehension as an emergency, Asuka Jr. takes it upon himself to do so. He intends to outdo his father by catching Saint Tail.
After getting close enough to photograph Saint Tail, Asuka Jr. receives a badge from the mayor, granting him permission to investigate anywhere. This enables him to assist the police in capturing Saint Tail. At his own request, he is notified in advance of Saint Tail's crimes. As Saint Tail escapes him time and again, she becomes the object of Asuka Jr.'s thoughts.
Being very dense regarding relationships, Asuka Jr. fails to notice Meimi's growing feelings for him. He frequently argues with Meimi (whom he calls Haneoka) about Saint Tail and his inability to catch her. Asuka Jr. starts thinking of Meimi when he sees Saint Tail, and vice versa, leaving him torn over which of the two he is falling in love with.
