Kaburagi, Motoharu

蕪木元治

Motoharu Kaburagi is Onoe's colleague, whom Onoe initially despised. At first, Onoe hated Kabu because he had caught what he believed was his girlfriend hugging Kabu in the office. Ironically, he was soon transferred to a new journalism section, working alongside Kaburagi.
His character is introduced as an attractive, quite popular, and cool photographer. You may often see him smoking, whether he is on the job or not [most]. He attracts attention from women everywhere and anywhere he goes, inevitably earning himself a "womanizer" status. Despite his appearance, Kabu is dedicated and serious about his job. He is steadfast when it comes to capturing evidence for a scoop, even going so far as to use his body and deceive his subjects to gain information. Though he is deceitful and shameless for the sake of his job, Kabu recognizes that he is "fake," but towards Onoe, he is honest and blunt. Kabu is captivated by Onoe's honesty and often embarrasses Onoe by teasing him. And he may not look it, but he can be quite jealous of Onoe, especially when it comes to Onoe and his friend Masa.
He has a younger sister, Shouri.
