Ritsu Kawai
VA: Kana Hanazawa A sophomore at the same high school as Usa. She's always reading a book, and because of that she has few friends and shows little interaction or expression, but sometimes she does show a few cute sides expected of a high school girl. Ritu's mother is the owner of Kawai Complex. |

Mayumi Nishikino

Ayaka Watanabe
