Takahashi, Takahiro

高橋孝浩

He is Misaki's older brother.
Having to quit school to support his younger brother after their parents died, Takahiro is very fond of Misaki and wishes him the best. He is the one who asks Usami to tutor Misaki so that he can attend the college he aims for.
Takahiro is married. He is described as very dense because, despite years of friendship with Usami, he never realized that the writer was madly in love with him. Just as Takahiro looked at Misaki's happiness, Usami looked at Takahiro's happiness from the shadows. When Takahiro's company transfers him, he is happy to hear that his best friend Usami is willing to take care of his younger brother, Misaki.
