Katakura, Kippei

片倉結平

Kippei is a fairly laid-back individual who was completely unprepared when he was assigned to look after Yuzuyu. During his initial attempt to prepare Yuzuyu's lunch, he managed to make only an onigiri; it was extra large, yet Yuzuyu consumes it because Kippei is the one who cooked it. Throughout the series, both his cooking skills and his personality evolve. He grows somewhat more responsible and acquires a girlfriend named Kokoro. Kippei often comes across as quite flirty and lacks intelligence. He is, however, very kind and loving.
