Yuuji Nakata

A kind, cheerful, and helpful first year student who joins the Kendo Club. He was a member of his junior high school's kendo club and had also attended the Kawazoe Dojo. He had reached the top eight in the prefectural games during junior high.

Yuuji is almost on par with Tamaki in skill, and he has defeated Satori Azuma once. He has used kendo to scare away some gangsters, although he panicked after the gangsters had run off. He is also the only person who knows of Kojirou's true reason for training his kendo team with more gusto than before.
