Fujieda, Ranmaru

藤枝蘭丸

A childhood friend who is one year younger than Benio and lives next door to the Hanamura family. He is a Kabuki actor and has harbored a crush on Benio since their childhood. Utilizing his talent for female impersonation, he disguised himself as Ranko to infiltrate the Ijuin household as a maid assigned exclusively to Benio. Following Shinobu's death, he returned to his business ventures, at which point Benio instructed him to go back to his parents' home. Although his appearance and demeanor are feminine, he is attracted to women, as evidenced by his longing for Benio, yet he is frequently pursued by men.
