Mine, Ryuutarou

峰龍太郎

A fourth-year violin student. His father owns a Chinese restaurant called "Uraken" located right next to the university. He is something of a prima donna; he views his own violin technique as deeply personal, while others see it as simply sloppy. He regards Chiaki as a rival for attention and strives to compete with Chiaki's "Princely" image. He likes Nodame for her free-spirited ways. He serves as the concertmaster of the S Orchestra, which is conducted by Chiaki, and is also a violinist in the R☆S Orchestra. He is the one who proposed that performing like Jimi Hendrix and adding a touch of 'rock' would improve quality, even though Chiaki stated that it looks dumb in a traditional orchestra. He is currently dating Kiyora Miki.
