Description
Ryoutarou Tsuchiura is a second-year student in Class 2-5 of Seiso Academy's General Education Department. Born on July 25, he stands 181 cm tall with distinctive green hair and golden eyes. His family consists of a piano-teacher mother, a father, an older sister, and a younger brother. Early exposure to piano through his mother revealed prodigious talent, but he ceased public performances after a childhood competition awarded him a "bobby prize" based on age rather than skill—while rival Len Tsukimori claimed the grand prize, fueling lasting frustration and a decision to conceal his musical abilities.
Initially recognized at Seiso for athletic excellence, he served as ace midfielder on the soccer team and demonstrated skill in basketball, tennis, and track during middle school. Academically, he excels in science and mathematics. Despite popularity among male peers, his reserved demeanor made him intimidating to female classmates. His personality blends straightforwardness with protectiveness, notably shown when preventing Kahoko Hino from falling down stairs—an encounter sparking a close friendship where Kahoko confided her lack of violin experience. Their bond led others, including ex-girlfriend Mizue Sakimoto, to misinterpret their relationship as romantic.
His hidden musical passion reignited when Kahoko discovered him playing piano at Minami Music Store. Initially demanding secrecy, he later became her accompanist for Chopin’s "Tristesse" in the school concourse’s first round, resulting in his unexpected entry as a participant. Facing scheduling conflicts between soccer and music, he prioritized piano for its genuine joy, performing demanding pieces like Chopin’s "Fantasie Impromptu" and "Revolutionary Etude," and Liszt’s "La Campanella."
Throughout the concourse, his interactions with Len Tsukimori remained contentious, marked by rivalry and arguments. His deepening feelings for Kahoko fueled dedication to both supporting her and refining his own performances. Beyond competition, he maintains a friendship with the owner of his practice music store and admires professional pianist Misa Hamai.
