OVA
Description
Tarō Kabakura is a handsome young man with distinctive spiky orange hair and sharp, small eyes that colleagues often find intimidating, creating an initial stern impression. Professionally, he wears a white button-up shirt with sleeves rolled midway and a red-blue tie, while at home, his hair falls loosely for a relaxed appearance.
His personality blends genuine directness with pragmatism. He takes professional duties seriously yet exhibits greater optimism than peers. A self-described casual otaku, his interests focus on hero and bishoujo anime, with specific favorites including Ranka Lee from *Macross Frontier* and Akari Akaza from *Yuru Yuri*—the latter highlighted by his ownership of a limited-edition Akari Nendoroid, gifted by his partner. These preferences are openly discernible to others.
Kabakura works alongside Hirotaka Nifuji, Narumi Momose, and Hanako Koyanagi at an unspecified company. He shares mutual respect and camaraderie with Hirotaka beyond work. With Narumi, he displays fatherly protectiveness, finding her "cute" and acknowledging she fits his preference for petite women despite her professional flaws. He reacts possessively or irritably when she interacts with men like Naoya Nifuji.
His most significant relationship is with Hanako Koyanagi, originating in high school though neither recalls who initiated it. They frequently argue publicly but show affectionate normalcy privately. Kabakura blushes or resists Hanako’s yaoi manga consumption and her attempts to involve him. Despite his gruff exterior, he consistently cares for her. They marry in later manga chapters (Vol.9 Ch.65.3), leading Hanako to adopt his surname. Upon learning of her pregnancy (Ch.86), he tearfully embraces her in joy. Future vignettes show them as parents sharing otaku hobbies like anime-watching with their daughter.
Kabakura’s background includes contentious high school interactions with Hanako before their relationship solidified. His early otaku tendencies feature Kyouko Otonashi from *Maison Ikkoku* as his first "2D crush," reflecting an initial attraction to older women. Less immersed in otaku culture than peers, he gradually adopts hobbies from Hirotaka and Narumi while retaining a self-assured identity separate from "total otaku" stereotypes.
His name "Tarō" combines "thick/big" (太) and "son" (郎), while "Kabakura" merges "birch" (樺) and "warehouse" (倉). Colleagues sometimes nickname him "Bakakura"—rearranging "Kabakura" to include "baka" (idiot)—reflecting his blunt demeanor.
