Description
Hayate Ichikura is a 20-year-old university student in Tokyo, majoring in economics. He currently stays at his uncle's apartment while his uncle is overseas for work. Standing 175 cm tall and weighing 60 kg, his birthday is April 24.
He identifies as self-reflective, often feeling embarrassment over his frequent clumsiness but consciously masking these moments with composure. This awareness includes a sense of lacking distinct individuality and difficulty envisioning his future path. Social interactions challenge him, despite his fundamentally caring nature.
For part-time work, he initially worked at a pub but resigned after it became popular among college students. He now works at Mawarimichi Cafe. There, at the request of manager Asami Futami, he tutors Shun Futami, whom he regards as a younger kouhai he wishes to support. He first encountered Souma Shiki outside the cafe; Souma's dyed hair, tattoos, and piercings initially intimidated him, but recognizing Souma's kindness led to friendship, with Hayate calling him "Souma-kun." Near an animal cafe, he met Takayuki Mima, whom he views as a dependable role model, addressing him respectfully as "Mima-san." His relationship with Motoharu Igarashi began in a park; unaware Motoharu was the renowned author he idolized, Hayate found it hard to relax initially due to hero worship. They became friends, with Hayate using "Igarashi-sensei."
His interests include a strong fondness for animals – he owns two hamsters named Anko and Kinako – along with solitary walks and reading. Karaage is his favorite food, while he dislikes the taste of beer. He attended an all-boys high school where he participated in volleyball.
His given name "Hayate" (颯) translates to "sudden, sound of the wind." His surname "Ichikura" combines "one" (一) with "warehouse" or "storehouse" (倉).
