Karakter & Staf

Yuuko Amamiya

Utama

Female

Yuuko is a mysterious girl who Hiro first meets in a church on Christmas night. She always appears generally out of nowhere, and disappears just as quickly in various places throughout the story to talk with Hiro or other characters and give them advice; interestingly, Miyako already knows her. She could be considered the key character throughout the ef story. She is a main character in the second series, part of which is focused on her connection to Himura. Yuuko is a kind-hearted person who hates being alone and puts on a brave face, even when upset or hurt.

Yumiko Nakajima

Yuu Himura

Utama

Male

A man who during the first series is found often in the Australian Otowa Church. He admits he isn't a Christian, and that he is merely "waiting for someone." Himura becomes a main character during the second EF series, part of which is dedicated to his past and his relationship with the previously unknown woman. Himura enjoys drawing, although does not always like to admit to that fact. He is a quiet and thoughtful person during his later life, often not revealing the whole truth or deliberately being vague when questioned.

Kouichi Toochika

Shuuichi Kuze

Utama

Male

Kuze Shuuichi is Asou Renji's neighbor and a good friend to Himura Yuu. He is a womanizer and especially fond of Asou Sumire, despite her being married. Shuuichi is a famous violinist of whom Hirono Hiro is a fan. In the past, he went to the same school as Himura Yuu, Hirono Nagi, and Amamiya Yuuko; all of whom he considered to be his friends, though Kuze was planning on moving to another country by the time he met the last one. Being a ladies man, Himura asked Shuuichi to investigate his kouhai (underclassman) Yuuko, which turned out with results, as she was the one scaring her classmates and the one who started a fight (to keep what is in her bag hidden). Before leaving, Kuze Shuuichi had a farewell party, but only inviting his three close friends at the school. However, due to their problems, none of them stayed through his entire piece (Amamiya felt his playing was too wonderful, which made her leave in tears, with Himura following her at Shuuichi's insistance), and Nagi did not even come. Later, the violinist came back to for a short time to visit an acquaintance. During this time, he sent a letter to Yuu and Yuuko, who were living together, telling them his news. While he was playing in the street, a little girl, named Hayama Mizuki, also known as Miki, was drawn to the melody from afar. When she reached Kuze, he called her a "cute little lady (kawaii ujouchan)" and tied his own hair ribbon on her head, which made Miki happy.
