Character

Yoichi Tanaka

田中 陽一

Yoichi Tanaka is Kou Mabuchi's older brother by eight years. He works as an English teacher at Futaba's high school. Futaba Yoshioka was initially interested in Yoichi upon entering high school because he reminded her of Kou, but was unaware that the two were brothers. He often gives Futaba advice whenever she feels unsure about herself or about Kou. Tanaka is kind, but can be a bit emotional and childish. He's a responsible teacher and loving brother (yet wishes the love he shows for Kou could be reciprocated). The only times Tanaka becomes more serious is when Kou isn't doing well in school, or when Shuuko is trying her "sneaky" things on him.
