Shuunpei Akiyama

Shuunpei Akiyama is a boy living in Origan Village who attends the same class as the protagonist's alter ego, Himitori, and belongs to the same scout troop. His fascination with birds and flight borders on obsession — he dreams of soaring through the sky like a bird and even handcrafts bird costumes to wear, earning him the mocking nickname 'Bird Man' from his peers. It is only after Himitori offers him genuine understanding and acceptance that Shuunpei finds his most devoted companion. He is honest and uncomplicated by nature, and he possesses a remarkable artistic sensitivity that allows him to perfectly decode abstract scribbles others cannot comprehend.
