Tomohiro Nagatsuka

Driven by a desperate need for connection, this lonely and dishonest boy clings to Ishida as his self-appointed best friend after a selfless act of sacrifice. Though his obsessive, protective, and somewhat clingy nature often alienates others like Ueno and Kawai, he remains a steadfast, if misguided, supporter of Ishida. An aspiring filmmaker with millionaire ambitions, he even enters a competition with Ishida, eventually turning a cinematic failure into a lifelong passion for film studies.
