Kitamura, Yuusaku

北村祐作

Yuusaku is a male student in Ryuuji's class and his best friend. He serves as the vice-president of the student council, the class representative, and the captain of the boys' softball club at school. Yuusaku wears glasses and possesses a diligent personality. He believes he is poor at talking to girls, although Ryuuji observes otherwise. During his tenure as student council vice-president, he eventually falls in love with the student council president, Sumire Kanou. A running gag involves him appearing out of nowhere behind Taiga and Ryuuji when they are discussing a "plan of attack" to pursue their crushes. Like Minori, he has an unusual personality, but it is often an expression of his friendship and appreciation.
