Summary
Kousuke serves as the close companion to Ataru and Hokuto, with the trio frequently getting into mischief together. Sharing the sentiments of Shuutaro Mendo and other male students, he harbors romantic feelings for Lum and actively attempts to stop her from kissing Ataru, claiming he wants to protect her purity. As the series progresses into its second half, Kousuke and Hokuto increasingly find themselves falling victim to the daily chaos. In the anime adaptation, he appears only as a background character, with his limited screen time and roles typically assigned to either Megane or Perm.
