Ushiyama, Shogo

Shogo Ushiyama is a new transfer student. He was bullied at his previous school, which forced him to transfer. Shogo is extremely friendly and achieves very high grades, quickly gaining popularity among his classmates (despite being overweight) and often helping other students with their studies. Following his counselor's advice, Shogo constantly thinks positively and takes on many challenges, such as running for class president. Shogo becomes the target of intense hatred from Yuichi Taira, who blames Shogo for spreading rumors that Yuichi is Shonen Bat/Lil' Slugger. Despite the rude and disrespectful way Yuichi treats him, Shogo maintains his friendly demeanor toward Yuichi and continues to pursue a friendship with him.
