Appearance
Hiromasa is a boy of average height with lightly tained skin and black hair. He has dark empty blue eyes. Hiromasa often wears vests with ties to school.

Personality
Hiromasa is very charming and sympathetic. He is popular at school. Most people would think that popular kids are kind of mean, but Hiromasa was the exact opposite. Hiromasa was nice to everyone. He is a natural-born ladies’ man and has never been a player.

However, Hiromasa is incapable of realizing he is being manipulated. If Hiromasa ever does find out that he’s being manipulated, he will just go along and pretend that everything’s normal. Hiromasa can feel very remorseful when he does something bad to another person.

Year 2 - Middle School
Hiromasa had a girlfriend of a friend named Leyko Kishimoto. She was really pretty and kind, and the two shared lots of interests and hobbies with each other. They had been dating for a little over a year.

A little before the halfway point of the school year, a girl named Hanaya Masui transferred to Hiromasa and Leyko’s class. Hanaya was quick to become friends with everyone in the grade. At PS328, new students were always praised and became popular quickly.

After a little while, news came to light that Leyko had been harassing Hanaya because Leyko thought that Hanaya was going to steal Hiromasa. Hiromasa believed Hanaya even though Leyko told everyone that it wasn’t true. Then Hanaya told Hiromasa that Leyko was always complaining about him behind his back. Hiromasa told Leyko that they needed to break up because he thought that Leyko hated him. Shortly after the breakup, Hanaya started flirting with Hiromasa and they ended up dating. When Hiromasa began his new relationship with Hanaya, Leyko was absent from school for a week and a half. In that time, Hanaya told everyone that Leyko was sending Hanaya death threats and didn’t come to school to avoid getting called out for it. Everyone went crazy. When Leyko came back to school, Hiromasa was extremely mad at her and even went as far as to slapping Leyko in the face.

When Leyko got slapped, she cried really hard. Leyko was eventually sent to the principal’s office and came back doing fine. Hiromasa asked Leyko what was up with her after class, to which Leyko said that she was doing great. Leyko then proceeded to ask Hiromasa why he slapped her across the face. Hiromasa said that it was because Leyko was being mean to his girlfriend, Hanaya. When Leyko heard that, tears started rolling down her face and she asked Hiromasa why he was so quick to believe Hanaya when she was never his girlfriend in the first place. Hiromasa was shocked by Leyko’s words and said that it was because Hanaya was very nice to everyone and he was disgusted that someone would treat another person so horribly. Leyko cried and said that it was not the answer to her question and ran off to the bathroom.

After school that day, Hanaya and Hiromasa went to a bridge they went to together everyday after school. Sometime during their talk, they saw a woman wearing a dress with braids, hat, and sunglasses come to the bridge and start feeding the fish bread. Hiromasa tried to make conversation with the woman. The woman introduced herself as “Oshida”, and said that she knew someone who went to a school nearby. When Hiromasa asked what was the school, Oshida said that it was PS328. After asking the name of the person, Oshida said that their name was Reiko. Hiromasa said that he didn’t know a Reiko and assumed that she was older than him or he just didn’t know her first name. Hiromasa asked for Reiko’s last name, to which Oshida responded with “Kishimoto”. Hiromasa froze and told Oshida all about Leyko. Oshida listened the entire time and said that people shouldn’t always trust newcomers, and the fact that Hanaya had been flirting with Hiromasa shortly after the breakup made it seem obvious that something was up. Hiromasa tried to dismiss it.

The next day at school, Leyko showed up to class and asked Hiromasa if he learned his lesson. Hiromasa ignored Leyko. Hiromasa talked with Hanaya about Oshida and what was up with her and Leyko. Hiromasa then talked to Nijiyo Okamura about Oshida. Nijiyo said that it was most likely some kind of set up, and to just ignore Oshida. Nijiyo added that she did not want to be a part of it because she still hated Leyko.

The end of the school year was nearing, and Hiromasa still wanted revenge against Leyko. So he found out where Leyko worked, and complained that she hadn’t satisfied him sexually. The Ueda Company really cared less if Hiromasa was not satisfied, and there was never a record of him visiting the Ueda and having sex with Leyko there. After that attempt failed, Hiromasa went to the faculty to ask them about how the handled the death threats that Leyko had sent to Hanaya. The faculty said that it was none of Hiromasa’s business to know that. Hiromasa got his mother, Kanami, to force the school into telling them what happened. The faculty told Kanami that Chizumi Masui asked the school not to tell anyone else outside of the incident what exactly happened when Hanaya and Leyko were brought into the office. Kanami was outraged, but the school still insisted on not telling anyone else.
