Tarou Sekiutsu

Often referred to as Maria or "Mataro" by her friend Kafuka, this mysterious undocumented immigrant lives undercover as a male student using a stolen identity. Driven by a fascination with Japan's resources, she frequently scavenges for food, displaying eccentric habits and a strange dislike for footwear. Despite her wild behavior and impoverished lifestyle, her infectious optimism and bright smile often win over others, forging a strong, spirited bond with Kafuka.
