Гэн Минэгиси

Childhood friend of Reidji Kurose and Sakuuko Akiyama, who often protected them from bullying in the past. Over time, he has distanced himself from his old friends and by the end of high school has become a typical representative of an aggressively-minded youth. He considers himself almost a king of the town where he lives. For many years, he has known that Yuko Kurose is sleeping with his father. Despite his seemingly poor attitude towards Reidji, he still considers him a friend, tries to protect him and does not want him to leave the city. He hopes that after finishing school, Reidji will start working at his father's company.
