Keiichi Shimizu

As the youngest male competitor and a dedicated first-year student, this cello prodigy lives a life defined by musical devotion. Often found napping in unexpected places, he maintains a perpetually drowsy and dazed demeanor, famously meeting Kahoko while fast asleep on the ground. Beyond his passion for playing, he enjoys studying music history and reading. While his routine revolves around practicing and studying, he eventually finds himself captivated by Kahoko’s uniquely carefree approach to music.
