Hiura, Mihate
Summary
Mihate Hiura is a sophomore in Class 2B at Yamato Daini High School and a childhood friend of Kenshirou Midou. He identifies as an otaku and has a specific set of preferences, enjoying games, late-night radio, ramen, and apple-flavored snacks, while disliking waking up early, crowded places, and extroverts. His academic strengths lie in chemistry, though he admits his athletic ability is lacking. His birthday is September 10, he stands approximately 145cm tall, has type O blood, and belongs to the Virgo zodiac. Mihate lives with his grandmother, his father, and his mother, who currently resides overseas. The character's naming carries deep significance; his surname, Hiura, is derived from the alias used by the mythological Greek hero Achilles when he disguised himself as a girl. His given name, Mihate, translates to "beautiful fruit" and was chosen by the mangaka for its pleasant sound. The kanji for "beautiful" comes from his father Mikuni's name, while "fruit" is taken from his mother Kano's name.
