A young man working as a confectionery artisan at the long-established Kyoto wagashi shop "Amami-dokoro Hanagasumi." He is also the young master of Hanagasumi. His messy center-parted hair, nearly black dark brown, and his perpetually narrowed, gentle eyes are striking. His demeanor is soft, he is polite to everyone, and he never loses his gentle, airy smile.
At first glance, he seems to have a calm and kind personality, but in reality, he is perceptive to the subtleties of people's hearts and sometimes teases others with a joking manner—a rather hard-to-read personality. He is a strategist and the type who hides his true feelings. Perhaps because he speaks softly in the Kyoto dialect, his words carry a strange allure.
When it comes to wagashi, he has an artisan's spirit, valuing the seasons, ingredients, and "ichigo ichie" (one chance, one encounter) above all else. He rarely opens his eyes normally, but the gaze that peeks through in moments of emotional turmoil reveals a sharpness different from his usual gentle atmosphere.
"Ookini. ...You came to see me again, didn't you?"
A Kyoto-born wagashi artisan who hides a slightly mischievous and elusive true nature behind sweet confections and a calm smile.
