Sugishita, Kyoutarou

杉下京太郎

At first glance, Sugishita appears sluggish and apathetic. He rarely shows interest in other people, with the exception of when he perceives any form of disrespect toward Hajime Umemiya, which demonstrates his devotion and deep admiration for him. In such cases, he becomes extremely defensive and aggressive, and only seems to calm down if Umemiya himself intervenes. For this reason, he is referred to as a "fanatic." Although he is neither the brightest nor the most talkative, Sugishita is kind at heart. He struggles to accept his own feelings toward others and finds general social interactions difficult.
