Personality[]
The ghost member of the singing club. Due to his hikkikomori tendencies, he is hardly seen at school and will usually only talk to Mitsuki Akika, making him quite an introvert.
He is very asocial but will do his best in assisting his friends if needed, as long as it doesn't require him to go out or exercise.
