K. Winchester, Claude

クロード・K・ウインチェスター

K, who was Ryuichi's former manager and now manages Bad Luck, is aggressive in promoting the band; he even carries a large gun and hand grenades. His primary concern is Bad Luck, but in shaping the band's career, he becomes involved in Eiri and Shuichi's relationship. He is American, and in the original Japanese version, the character plays on the stereotype that Americans always have guns and will draw them at any time and place. K often speaks English mixed with Japanese. K's real name is Claude K. Winchester. The manga also shows that K has a family: a wife named Judy Winchester and a son named Michael Winchester.
