Kou Ichinomiya

Kou Ichinomiya is a 22-year-old heir to the Ichinomiya family company who considers himself part of the elite. Raised to avoid owing anyone anything, he organizes his life around avoiding indebtedness and unnecessary charity. When Nino saves him, that principle leads him to become her boyfriend and move in with her. The mayor nicknames him Riku, short for “recruit.”
