Tsutomu Yamaguchi

Meet Mikako’s childhood buddy who’s been living next door forever. They both roll through Yazagaku together, but he’s been harboring a crush on her for ages. In search of his true calling, he teams up with Mikako’s dad to learn photography and chase his dreams. With a striking resemblance to Ken Nakagawa, the popular lead singer of Manbou, he often finds himself tangled in wild fangirl moments and identity mix-ups. Mikako affectionately calls him a monkey, and together with Ayumi and the crew, he launches Akindo—a hip street market spot. Plus, he pops up in "Paradise Kiss" as Yukari's photographer!
