Katashi Tachibana

Katashi is a student at Tokya High School, and leader of the Climber's Club. With a strong confidence and a tendency to order his friends around, Katashi is one of Yasu's closest friends, and the one who keeps the Climber's Club going forward. He is charismatic, smart and bold, and known as one of the most popular guys in the school. Katashi has been Tamiko's boyfriend for a while now, but their relationship looks more like a status quo to Katashi; He always puts in great efforts to make her happy and Tamiko always plays him down. Yasu and Katashi have known each other since they were ten years old, but their friendship is just as questionable as Katashi's relationship with Tamiko is. Katashi always relies on Yasu's help for keeping things in check. Yasu often does the dirty work for Katashi to end up well, while Katashi cherishes having Yasu as a friend. In his early childhood, Katashi lived with his parents overseas, where he also got his specific accent as his father is an well-known businessman. Although Katashi never learned much about the profession, he believes that academic results are a means of value for his life, and this led to him to work hard for the grades he has. Adding to everything else, he's got his own car, and is set to attend university outseas. The one thing Katashi truly fears is upsetting his father.
