Takase Yayoi~ Sweet as she is, she is Rokutanda's girlfriend, who only exists in the anime. I guess the writers felt sorry for poor Tsutomu for losing and getting rejected all the time. She's really pretty and though she appears in the show occasionally, she doesn't really play a big part. She does however hang out with the usual gang often and helped out Ginta and Arimi later on in the series. She's also a Junior and goes to an unnamed high-school with a really cool uniform. :) Chigusa, Mari, and Keiko~ These three go to Toryo and I guess known Ginta, Meiko, and Miki since forever. Mari has short straight hair, Chigusa has braided pigtails and Keiko has glasses and pigtails tied up with ribbons. They are usually the gossips, knowing everything that is going on. They aren't really bad. They're basically the cliché's that every show has to have. The everyday people you only talk to and hang around with at school. When Meiko was on a date with Satoshi, it was Keiko who ran to her and told her that she saw Na-chan coming out of Junk Jungle. Stupid Keiko. If it wasn't for her, Meiko would never have known and would not have ditched Satoshi to look for her Sensei. Chigusa plays tennis and usually encourages Miki on her game. Mari also plays tennis and doesn't really have a big part. She's just there like the other two to tell everyone else what's going on. Mari's seiyuu is the same as Yayoi's. Furutachi-kun~ Furutachi is the student newscaster for Lunch Time news at Toryo. Since he is one of those stereotypical journalistic type people, he usually comes across as going into everyone's business. The target is usually Miki in one way or another. He was the one that showed everyone what's going on with the odd family situation of the Koishikawa/Matsuura clan. He was the one that gave everyone reasons to think You and Satoshi were "together" and he was the one that questioned the Miki/You/Ginta relationship. He got a clobbering from Miki in the beginning when he exposed You's "relationship" with her. He hides behind shiny white glasses that never show his eyes, kinda like Umino from SM with his swirly ones. In one episode they did show Furutachi's face and he's pretty cute, I have to say. The Principal and Kyoto Sensei~The Principal and his assistant Kyoto-Sesei are shown when there's trouble going on in school or if the kids are in need of help of some kind. The first time they are shown was when the Shinichi and Meiko incident happened. The Principal is understanding but Kyoto, if you read my episode summaries, is a bitch! That lady is cold as ice and she's scary.

Rei~ Rei is Takuji's wife, You's boss at the Junk
Jungle. Rei also went to school at Toryo during the 80's along with Takuji,
Ryouko and Namura. Rei was in love with Takuji but was afraid to tell
him how she felt during those high-school years. Takuji was a bit depressed
because of the Ryouko situation and that he had to move to America. Rei
saw this and before he left Japan forever... she put her Toryo medallion
in his briefcase so he'll know that someone was thinking about him. Ten
years later, they bump into each other in New York where she was working
as a tour guide. And it's obvious what came after than.
She also owns, K's Coop, an import store where Miki works part time after she left
Bobson's. Like the others, she doesn't really play a big part on the show
but like all the characters, is somehow included in MB's mix of relationship
geometry. She does help Miki with her insecurities about You. Mizutani
Akira~ Akira is Rei's brother who wears one of those
Do-wop, 1950's style haircuts (From the manga translations, they mention
that the "punks" in Japan wear this kind of hairstyle). And kinda looks like Shinichi. In one
episode he was in a conversation with Meiko, of all people... He helped her ease her loneliness about Namura. He seems to also be an art teacher for little kids and is a very nice guy.
Anyway, Akira likes Ryouko and asked her out. Ryouko was still heartbroken
because of Shinichi and she turned him down. He does however, get her
to go out with him eventually and she in turn becomes a happier person,
which she really deserves to be. Three cheers for Akira! Meiko's
Parents~ The Akizuki's hate each other very much.
For most of MB, Meiko's parents' faces are never shown. Mostly just their
legs, feet and hands which usually holds a glass that's filled with some
kind of liquor. They yell and insult each other a lot especially when
they talk about Meiko and her relationship with Shinichi. Blaming each
other for their daugther's wrong doing. They were against her engagement
and wedding with Shinichi from the start. The parents' faces were finally
shown during the ending (3rd) season of MB. I think it's ep. #57. Because well, they just had to be shown because
of the circumstances...They're hella tall. Mr.
Reinie~ Mr.
Reinie is You's advisor in America. There's nothing much to say other than
that. He's really not important but since he does speak and interacts
with a main character, he's here. :-) Meiko's
Maid~ She's a very nice, sweet and caring woman. It
seems that she cares more about Meiko than her own parents and even gave
her encouraging words when Meiko wrote her story. She also helped Meiko
out when Shinichi was leaving for Hiroshima. Kei's
Parents~ The Tsuchiya's are very supportive of their
son and was extremely happy when he came back to them. Kei's father even
thanked Miki for encouraging his son to play the piano again. Kei's dad
looks a lot like him. Sakuma
Rihito~ Rihito is Suzu's father and an architect that You admires.
He's the one that encouraged You to go to America and study at St. Andrews. Miwa
Yoshimitzu~ In a way, he's one of the people that
started it all. If he wasn't such a womanizer and didn't hit on Chiayko,
Jin wouldn't have gotten jealous and Youji and Rumi would not have gotten
involved.. etc..
He is also a famous architect, just like his brother-in-law. And was thought
of as You's father by both You and his son. He is of course Satoshi's
father. Satoshi hates his ways and wonders why his mother won't leave
his father because of all the things he, Yoshimitzu does.. |
