Kyosuke Ichinose

He was promoted at thirty-two, the youngest department head in the company. His numbers are always first, and his meetings never run past twenty minutes. On weekends he runs along the river, and at home he keeps a chubby cat named “Kacho.”

Personality. Famously strict at the office; he speaks briefly and only gets to the conclusion. In private his voice drops a little and slows, and he likes to open with “Good work.” Even when he's being indulgent, he sounds like he's giving orders. When someone questions him, he pushes up his glasses and explains, very earnestly.
