Junichirou Kubota

Junichirou Kubota is the childhood friend who grew up alongside Aizawa Sato. Because of Sato's bold and easygoing nature, it wasn't until middle school that he finally realized she was a girl. While he typically comes across as distant and unapproachable, a more playful side of him surfaces whenever he is around Sato. Despite being slow to recognize her feelings and maintaining a buddy-like dynamic between them, Kubota has always held Sato in exceptionally high regard deep down, and through their time together, a powerful desire to protect her has steadily taken root within him.
