OVA
Description
Tôru Ishikawa attends Katagiri Senior High School, starting in Class 3-1. His tall, athletic frame features short purple hair and matching purple eyes. He wears the standard school uniform—a white button-up shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows and dark slacks—often layered with the school sweater or blazer, and accessorizes with black athletic wristbands bearing a hot-pink stripe.

Ishikawa maintains a calm, collected demeanor, regarded as "the normal one" among peers. His straightforward, cool exterior involves language and habits others find appealing. Though prone to jealousy and temper—particularly toward Izumi Miyamura over their mutual connection to Kyoko Hori—he exhibits self-awareness and regret after emotional outbursts. He deeply values friendships, demonstrating loyalty and consideration, such as supporting Miyamura after discovering his tattoos and mediating conflicts. Despite occasional cynicism or competitiveness from insecurities, his underlying kindness is recognized by characters like Hori and Miyamura.

He harbors a longstanding childhood crush on Kyoko Hori, confessing early in the series. After her rejection due to her feelings for Miyamura, distance forms between them, but he eventually accepts their relationship and forges a close bond with Miyamura. His romantic focus shifts to best friend Yuki Yoshikawa. Their shared activities like gaming foster mutual feelings, though both mistakenly believe the other prefers someone else: Ishikawa assumes Yoshikawa likes Sakura Kouno, while Yoshikawa thinks Ishikawa returns Kouno’s affection. They enter a pretend-dating arrangement to help Yoshikawa decline another suitor. When Kouno confesses, Ishikawa rejects her, affirming his commitment to Yoshikawa. Their romantic status remains ambiguous later, with conflicting signals about official dating despite evident mutual affection.

Beyond the core group, Ishikawa shares a childhood bond with Shū Iura, tolerating his antics while offering blunt honesty. He interacts warmly with family helper Kayo Yashiro, who inquires about Yoshikawa during visits. Recurring nightmares—like harming Miyamura—hint at residual insecurities, though these fade as relationships stabilize.

Additional traits include a claimed hereditary long tongue, Libra zodiac sign, allergy to melon, preference for action video games and sakura-flavored cookies, and family extreme wealth.
