    Makoto is the epitome of a girl-obsessed guy who keeps an electronic database of almost all the girls at Otowa-no-Mori with him (to a point of bribing some informers to get the scoop). He even uses computer dating simulators and guide books. (Actually, he's terribly shy and can't do anything in decisive situations.) He is also the only techno-geek in the group. After he botched his date with Erika Kawai, he ended up with her best friend (who acted as the bridge between them), Yumi Kazama. He also had an interlude with a nursing intern after getting hospitalized for peeping at a short-skirted girl as she climbed an overpass. His scooter hitting a mini-truck, but he forgot about her when he saw that girl again... (Source: Wikipedia)

    She is Kyoichi's athletic love interest, running for their school's track and field team. She has been Kyoichi's friend since childhood, but she also has difficulty expressing love. Though not in a relationship with Kyoichi, she was asked by Okazaki if she had a boyfriend to which she replied that "he" wouldn't mind. Okazaki continued his advances to which they spent a night together at a lookout point (though nothing happened between them). She wanted to keep her tryst a secret, but Kyoichi, coming in to visit, saw them kissing, hence a rift between them that lasted all summer. (Source: Wikipedia)

    Yoshihiko is extremely talented in sports (especially baseball), but he has no interest in it whatsoever (similar to Initial D's Takumi Fujiwara). He also seems to have no interest in girls... until the day he met Aya Kurihara. However, after her return to France, he met his girlfriend Natsue Horikawa during baseball practice. He also had a run-in with the young idol Jyunna Morio when she escaped and got lost from her studio taping. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
