Yunosuke Shiga

Occupation: Corporate Secretary/English Student Nationality: Japanese While hailed as the young "rising hope" of the secretarial department within the Yamato Corporation, his English skills don't even compare to that of a middle schooler. Forced to enroll in English courses by his company, Yunosuke very slowly begins to improve his English under the Spartan instructions of his teacher, Nigel. He lives in a traditional household where both his father and grandfather are famous Japanese painters and is experienced in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and kimono dressing.
