Motosuwa, Hideki

本須和秀樹

Hideki Motosuwa is a ronin (a student repeating a year) trying to qualify for university by attending the Seki cram school in Tokyo. He is an honest and kind teenager raised on a farm who, unfortunately, lacks experience with women. His vivid imagination often leads him to talk to himself in public. Hideki wants to find a girlfriend but also strongly desires a Persocom—a human-shaped computer capable of various tasks. Although he cannot afford one, he gets lucky when he finds one discarded in a garbage dump on his way home from grocery shopping, and he names it Chii.
