Kento Hinode

Kento Hinode is a reserved middle school student and the deuteragonist of Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu. He balances his studies with responsibilities at his family’s pottery workshop. While he presents a calm and neat exterior, Kento struggles with self-expression and tends to avoid pushy personalities. Past experiences have caused him to maintain a quiet distance from his peers, but his bond with Taro-a stray cat who is actually Muge in disguise-deepens as they face unexpected, life-altering challenges together.
