Hanamoto Shuuji

The well respected teacher is like their older brother - or perhaps their father??

Profile
Hanamoto is a graduate of the Hamadayama University of Art. He suggested for Hagumi (his cousin's daughter) to come to Tokyo and currently lives with her

　

History
While he was a student, Hanamoto met Harada and Rika. As he began to help the two along with the theory side of art, he learned satisfaction in the role of teaching. Worrying for Rika after Harada's death, he lives with Rika for a while but decided to leave and now watches over her distantly

　

Like a Guardian!?

After finally returning from overseas, this is how their reunion took place! Tears just don't stop!!
	Not only does he care for Hagu, but for all his students. Hanamoto-sensei is a nice respectful adult!
Worried to death when he thinks about Hagu being with a male other than himself!
	Sometimes the work gets to you - you can't have fun all the time!
