Sogabe, Hiroyuki

曽我部弘之

Hiroyuki Sogabe is a friend of Kusuda. He is somewhat delusional and slightly narcissistic. He likes Nao and attempts to get close to her to create an opportunity for her to confess to him. He reveals his insecurities when Nao shows interest in Yukito Renjou, an artist and a graduate of their school. He runs away from home because of this (though only for two days) along with Kusuda and Mamoru. After he loudly admits his feelings toward Nao so that she hears them (after she and the other girls pursue the runaways), the two become close. Near the end of the series, he cuts his hair.
