Taro Soramame, a classmate of the protagonist, cultivates a deliberately “cool” image through rebellious antics, his name embedding a playful pun on “broad bean” that echoes the series’ lighthearted comedy. Initially portrayed as a school troublemaker, his arc evolves into an unexpected career choice: joining the police force, driven by his desire to wield a firearm and perpetually don sunglasses. This shift underscores his blend of irreverence and earnest growth. A romantic subplot later unfolds as he pursues and marries Tsururin Tsun, mirroring the narrative’s emphasis on maturation. His family includes younger brother Peasuke Soramame, recognizable by his animal-themed hat, who courts and eventually marries the taller Hiyoko in future storylines. While Taro’s role in "The Great Race Around the World" remains unspecified, his core journey—from cheeky student to law enforcer—persists across the series, balancing absurdist humor with gradual personal development.
