Ushio Azabu
Tamotsu greatly admires Ushio as a senpai and is extremely dedicated to him to the point of fawning over the pictures he has of him and showing his friends. He has an exaggerated view of him and is oblivious to what Ushio actually acts like.

Tamotsu is good friends with Masaru and Hajime, and they affectionately nickname him "Arakan." They all eat lunch together from time and time. Masaru and Hajime try to help Tamotsu when they can, such as carrying him up when he had trouble erasing the whiteboard due to his height.
Yuto Nijo
