Sōichirō Kuroi

Sōichirō Kuroi is a reserved and introspective young man with a penchant for instant ramen. His demeanor can seem cold and slightly rude to unfamiliar individuals, often due to his desire for personal space and minimal social interaction. However, once he considers someone a friend, Sōichirō reveals his amiable nature and becomes approachable and supportive. His closest companions include Jojiro Takajo and Yusarin Nishimori, with whom he shares a strong bond forged through time and mutual understanding. Additionally, he has a special friendship with Nao Tomori, who is like a younger sister to him. Although often seen with his friends, Sōichirō also has a mysterious connection with a middle schooler, who is an Eighth grader, and his part-time job at a ramen shop where he spends a lot of time.
