She was also shown to have a selfish side at times. Rinko is shown to have a determined mind by politely declining Kouki's confession and saying that she had already fallen in love with Takeo when she first met him. Rinko is the first girl who has been called 'a nice girl' by Makoto, presumably since she's the first to look past Takeo's appearance. She attends Koizumi Girls' Academy and is very skilled in baking and making sweets.

Unlike most girls, who find Takeo frightening, Rinko admires his strength, confidence, and kindness, and she does not seem to pay any mind to his unusual size or appearance. When she thought that Takeo mistaking Suna likes her, Rinko rushes to find Takeo and confess her love to him which he gladly accepts. Rinko also purposely leaves her cellphone at his house one time when she comes to visit and thank him in order to see Takeo again. Rinko is also a smart person when she secretly follows Takeo after the incident and also asking the neighborhood to find out where he lives and study. After Takeo saves her, she immediately fell in love with him. Rinko Yamato ( е¤§е’Њ е‡›еђ, Yamato Rinko) Voiced by: Megumi Han (Japanese) Tia Ballard (English) Actor portrayal: Mei Nagano A high school girl whom Takeo saves from a groper on a train. In the end, Takeo is shown leaving his high school with Rinko and Makoto after bidding farewell to his friends at the high school graduation ceremony, beginning their new college life together after. However, he made a bold move by proposing to Rinko in front of the crowds, much to Rinko's surprise, but she happily accepts in excitement. When Takeo found out that Rinko has troubles during her exams in Spain, he quickly rushes to her place to comfort her and promises her to always stay by her side no matter what happens instead of blaming himself for the problem. When he found out that Rinko has to move to Spain due to her father's job, Takeo let her go anyway although he did not want to be apart from her.

Takeo is also a considerate and caring person to his family and friends. Rinko, later on, confessed her love to Takeo, to which he gladly accepted. Near the beginning of the story, he saves Rinko from a groper and quickly develops feelings for her, but mistakenly thinks that she likes Makoto. Despite his hulking appearance and strength, Takeo has an affable personality and is actually extremely kind and selfless, quickly helping others without a second thought throughout the story and never holding a grudge for things people say about him.

Women tend to find his appearance off-putting or frightening, likening him to a bear or gorilla, but Takeo nevertheless has many friends due to his popularity among men, who are inspired by his strength, physique, and vitality. He is very tall and muscular, easily dwarfing everyone around him. This all changes when he saves Rinko Yamato, a petite shy girl who, above all other expectations, falls in love with Takeo, beginning a unique love story.Д¬haracters Takeo GЕЌda ( е‰›з”° зЊ›з”·, GЕЌda Takeo) Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi, Ren Katou (young) (Japanese) Andrew Love, Luci Christian (young) (English) Actor portrayal: Ryohei Suzuki The protagonist of the story and a first-year student at Shuei High School.
