He is nicknamed "Usa-kun" for short. While not nearly as athletic as Hitomi or Kaoru, he is a good student and tutors Hitomi in math. • Kaoru Usami • Kaoru is Yuu's younger sister, and Hitomi's classmate. She is much more athletic than Yuu and naturally outgoing. She admires that Hitomi has large breasts and toned abs.
