Haiji Kiyose

As the charismatic deuteragonist of Run with the Wind, this driven Kansei University senior serves as the heart and primary cook of the Chikuseisou dormitory. While his outgoing and friendly demeanor makes him a natural leader, he possesses a cunning, manipulative streak used to push his teammates toward their athletic goals. Though he refuses to compromise on his dreams, he remains deeply devoted to his housemates, balancing intense determination with genuine care for his fellow runners.
