Natsume, Kinnosuke

夏目金之助

Natsume is a Tokyo University student who studies diligently while working as a rickshaw puller.
He is a scrawny, bean-curd type, but he respects faith and is passionate about friendship. He invites his best friend Sanshiro to join him in his studies, but eventually quietly watches him grow up. He is modeled after Soseki Natsume.
