Sakamoto, Akira

坂本秋良

As the class president of Toru's class (1-D), he is a highly respected figure at the school. Because of his deeply revered older brother and his own outstanding academic performance and character, his peers address him as "Sakamoto-sama" regardless of their seniority, and all students bow upon seeing him, although he feels somewhat intimidated by such reverence. For largely the same reasons, Arisada has hand-picked him as the successor to the student council president position, and he has demonstrated strong leadership skills on numerous occasions.
He has five immediate family members, all of whom are remarkably beautiful (and, in the case of his sisters, androgynous as well). In the past, both Akira himself and strangers often pointed out that he was the only "average"-looking person in his family. For a time, Akira felt out of place or "unworthy" of belonging to his family. When his family discovered his worries, they quickly reassured him and dismissed such notions. His siblings (especially his older brother and older sister) usually compete for his attention, since their brother is such a kind-hearted and good-natured boy. Akira and his family are the main characters of one of Tsuda's earlier manga works, Family Complex.
