Jun'ichi Asakura serves as the protagonist of the *Da Capo* franchise. His specific narrative in *D.C.I.F. Da Capo If* explores an alternate path centered on his relationship with Kotori Shirakawa. He wields magical abilities inherited from his grandmother, enabling him to craft Japanese sweets (wagashi) by expending his own caloric energy and to observe the dreams of others. Both powers connect directly to the mystical sakura tree on Hatsunejima. His background identifies him as a student at Kazami Academy, residing with his adopted sister, Nemu Asakura. While earlier depictions showed him with light brown hair, *D.C.I.F.* and later works consistently portray him with black hair. He possesses a kind nature often at odds with a lazy disposition, frequently avoiding trouble yet reluctantly aiding others when necessary. Key relationships define him: a close bond with Nemu, familial affection for his cousin Sakura Yoshino, and a friendship with the eccentric Suginami. In *D.C.I.F.*, the story diverges from the main continuity roughly one year after Nemu's death. Jun'ichi grapples with grief and guilt, questioning if pursuing romance with Kotori betrays Nemu's memory. This conflict surfaces when he resolves to clean Nemu's room, aiming to erase her "imprint" and move forward. Kotori perceives this act as emotionally misguided, leading her to reject his initial romantic confession and creating distance between them. His development involves confronting these unresolved feelings. Following introspection and guidance from Sakura—who criticizes his cleanup motive as cruel and futile—Jun'ichi realizes his true desire is to be with Kotori. He finds her at Hatsunejima's sakura tree and firmly confesses his love, which she accepts before they share a kiss. Their relationship culminates in marriage, signifying Jun'ichi's emotional resolution. During their wedding reunion, pink sakura blossoms briefly appear under Nemu's posthumous wish for their happiness, signifying closure. This narrative confirms a lasting union with Kotori Shirakawa, resulting in a daughter named Hina Asakura, contrasting with his canonical marriage to Nemu Asakura in other *Da Capo* timelines.
