Taichi Narata

Once a dedicated ballet performer, Taichi Narata chose to step away from the spotlight, drawn instead to the joys of teaching and a more liberated lifestyle. Now a ballet instructor at Kouka Opera Music Academy, he plays a pivotal role in the life of his niece, Ai Narata. As a gay man with a naturally warm and emotionally attuned personality, Taichi offers Ai — who harbors a deep-seated wariness toward men — unconditional acceptance and understanding. He stands as her most trusted family member, quietly watching over her journey of growth from the sidelines.
