Kaoru Kusakabe
A girl pretending to be a boy, living in an all-male dorm to save money. She works part-time as a girl at a cafe far from the dorm, loving its uniform, leading a double life: man at school and dorm, woman at work. Straightforward and frank, blunt or crude, yet with feminine delicacy and shyness. Uses 'ore' at school and the dorm, 'watashi' at work and as her natural self; calls Yomi 'omae' or by given name. Roommates with Yomi, on comfortable terms with only necessary conversation. Once her secret is out, she wants to be treated like a girl, as much as possible without getting caught, and feels she needs to get along with her roommate.
