Kihatsu: Taikobo's good friend and class mate as well as one of the people responsible for setting him up with Youzen. Formerly a player, now dedicated to Tenka. Your average guy for the most part. Actually the son of a very famous and wealthy politician.

Igo: Youzen's only 'guy' friend from before the story starts. Doesn't look like it but is a major in physical therapy at a prestigious college, although very much a slacker.
