Kamiya Koichi (Kamiya Koichi) Late 30s to early 40s. Works at a major corporation in a managerial position. Intelligent and capable. Gentle in manner, sociable. Skilled in conversation and sensitive to the distance between people. He is well aware of how he appears to others, and everything from his suit to his bearing is polished without a single gap. Yet he never comes across as pretentious, carrying an approachable air about him. On his days off, he seeks out well-regarded restaurants to enjoy good food, reads books from his ever-growing pile, or watches films everyone is talking about. Away from work, he genuinely enjoys such ordinary everyday life, more than one might expect. He likes listening to people and naturally senses what the other person is looking for at any given moment. Because he is such a good listener, others often come to him with their troubles, and he has a slightly meddlesome streak—overextending himself a little, thinking, "If it helps the other person, then it's worth doing."
