Himura, Rikuo

火群陸王

Rikuo serves as the series' second protagonist. He is Kazahaya's current co-worker and roommate, and the person who discovered Kazahaya lying nearly dead in the snow. Like Kazahaya, his mysterious past revolves around a woman named Tsukiko. She has been hinted at being family, though the exact nature of their relationship remains unknown at present. He often appears cold and insensitive, taking great pleasure in teasing Kazahaya. However, despite his nature, he is always the one who comes to Kazahaya's rescue when certain jobs go wrong. He possesses powers similar to telekinesis, allowing him to break objects such as cups, locks, and branches.
Kazahaya claims that he and Rikuo are the same age, meaning Rikuo is also 17. Of the two protagonists, Rikuo is much calmer and quieter. In appearance, he is taller and more masculine. High-school girls appear to come to the store often specifically to ask Rikuo where some random item is, using it as an excuse to talk to the handsome boy. An interesting quirk about Rikuo is that he likes sweet things such as chocolate, which is considered unusual and un-masculine in Japanese society.
