She doesn't get spectacular grades and she's not great at sports, but she makes everyone around her feel happy. Leap before looking! She's often egged on by her friends and acts recklessly, then fails and gets depressed, then gets cheered up and recovers. She's a jet-coaster girl!

Ootani Atsushi: He's shorter than usual and is called 'Chissai Otoko'. His fantastic obtuseness and reactions are really popular with his classmates as a manzai pair, but his grades aren't very good. Right now he's in the middle of really hard studying. He's short, but as the basketball captain his spirit and perserverance are equal to anyone.

Nakao Hirayoshi: He's always smiling and happy, he's the moodmaker of the group. He and Nobu-chan are totally love-love together! His nickname is Nakaocchi.
