Kirishima, Shinichi

霧島進一

Shinichi is a school friend of Samatarou and Tenko. He is quite infatuated with girls and frequently peppers his speech with English phrases when he gets excited—which happens often, particularly when discussing girls. His friends regard him as something of an idiot, sadly not without cause, but he appears to be essentially good-natured. Eventually, Shinichi manages to develop a romantic relationship with Ai Tachibana, much to the horror of Samatarou and Tenko. Despite their sense of foreboding and Ai's occasional displeasure, Shinichi is apparently faithful to the relationship.
