Yoshifumi Aoki

“Eh? There isn't that club? Then can I try to establish it? It needs five people? I can gather them real quick...”

Character Overview
is a member of the Student Cultural Society and Taichi's best friend. He is a classmate of Yui, a girl who he constantly confesses his love to. He claims to have loved Yui from the moment he saw her and does not hesitate to show it. Amongst the Student Cultural Society, Aoki can be considered the least serious due to his philosophy of always living carefree. He is also somewhat of a pitiful character since he is constantly ridiculed for his natural goofiness by most of his fellow StuCS members.

Personality
Light-hearted and silly by nature, Aoki, even in the most tense situations, can still manage to crack a joke and be himself. He is also a blatant pervert who is strangely at the same time quite chilvarous, especially when concerning Yui. Aoki has also proved to be a very resilient person as he is mercilessly berated for his antics on a regular basis by his fellow clubmembers, but he never stays down for long.

Key problem
Throughout the course of the series, Aoki is shown to struggle with his inability to help others. Even though he tries as hard as he can, he finds that his cheerful attitude can only accomplish so much.

Appearance
Aoki is a young man with dark hazel eyes. He is the tallest of his friends and his blonde hair is cut down the middle. He is usually seen in his school uniform.

Background History
He wanted to join a 'Players club'; however the club did not exist for High schools but at Universities. Despite knowing that the Yamaboshi High school does not have such a club, he still wrote the name in his club application. So the school placed him in the ‘Student Cultural Society’ club.

When Aoki was in Junior High School, his first love was Nishino Nana. However, Nana eventually moved away due to her parents' work. Later during Aoki's second year of Junior High, a girl in his class died in a car accident. Realizing how fragile life is, Aoki swore to live life freely so that when he meets his end, it will be without regret.

Aoki has made multiple love confessions to Yui in the past and she turns him down every time, though she gradually warms up to him over time.
