Kouki Kugyo

The son of the owner of Meio Academy, and Tanpopo's eventual love interest. He is a serious young man who is somewhat burdened by family issues and feels the need to meet the high standards people place on him. His favorite hobby is gardening, and he becomes a different person when around plants: happy, carefree, and concerned about the plants, as opposed to his usual aloof nature. He later falls in love with Tanpopo, but holds back his feelings because of his engagement to Erika.
