Kazamatsuri, Kou
Summary
Kou serves as Shou’s older cousin, though he often displays a level of immaturity that contrasts with his relative status. He occasionally provides guidance to Shou, despite the ambiguity surrounding their relationship, as they were long mistaken for biological brothers. The truth came to light when it was revealed that Shou is adopted, while Kou is the actual son of Shou’s aunt and uncle, having been taken in by them following the death of his own parents. Despite lacking a blood tie, the two remain supportive of one another in times of need. Kou’s appearance varies significantly depending on the context; he may act like a slob within the safety of his home, but he maintains a professional image in public, frequently donning suits for his work as the vice-president of a modeling agency. This high-paying position has caused friction with his father, who harbors resentment toward Kou for dropping out of high school yet earning more than his own parent.
