Tsuchiura, Ryotaro

土浦梁太郎

• Belongs to the soccer team (position MF)
• In middle school, he was on the soccer team and the track team at the same time.
• His best subjects are science and mathematics
He is another second-year student in the General Education department and one of Kahoko's closest friends. He and Kahoko met after he collided with her, nearly knocking her down a staircase, but saved her at the last moment. Their friendship eventually grows, and she even confesses to him that she knew nothing about violins. He looks out for her and often helps her. Their relationship is often mistaken for that of a couple by other students at the school and even by Ryotaro’s ex-girlfriend. He is popular among the other students and commands the respect of most male students. The female students admire him but find him a little hard to talk to.
Ryotaro is the star of the soccer team, being very skilled at the sport (and even outdoing some third years). He is a very gifted pianist but quit playing in public because of an unpleasant experience at a junior concert. Kahoko accidentally discovered his hidden talent, and he forced her not to tell anyone. He, however, revealed that secret in public when he helped Kahoko in the first round of the concours by being her accompanist, after which he, as well, was chosen to join the concours. He doesn't get along with Len, and they often get into disagreements over petty matters. His feelings for Kahoko seem to gradually deepen as the series progresses.
