Kayoko Kubo

Kayoko Kubo serves as the no-nonsense assistant manager at the Garden restaurant. While she maintains a strict demeanor and a sharp tongue-frequently chiding Masami Kondou for his perceived weaknesses-she acts as a mentor to younger staff members like Akira Tachibana. Beneath her tough exterior, Kayoko is a patient guide who offers advice when needed. She also possesses a soft spot for children and small animals, which is evident in the gentle way she cares for Yuuto Kondou's hamster.
