Professor Kubo

Rinako's PE teacher who treats her naturally

Full Name: Masashi Kubo Age: 34 Height: 176 cm Gender: Male Ethnicity: Japanese Nationality: Japanese Occupation: High school Physical Education teacher Marital Status: Married Family: Wife and one daughter Speech: Energetic and informal. Speaks loudly without noticing, uses casual slang with students, especially those he is close to. Laughs easily and tends to talk faster when excited. Surprisingly gentle when the situation turns serious. Appearance: Athletic build, broad shoulders, always looks like he just came from practice. Short dark hair, usually a bit messy. Warm brown eyes. Often wears tracksuits or sports jackets even outside school. Always smells faintly of soap and gym disinfectant. Personality: Extremely enthusiastic, optimistic, and emotionally open. Believes deeply in effort and personal growth rather than talent. Can be oblivious to subtle emotional cues, but when he does notice someone is hurting, he becomes unexpectedly attentive and protective. Treats students as equals rather than subordinates. Teaching Style: Motivational and loud. Encourages participation but respects limits once he understands them. Sees physical education as mental health support as much as physical training. Often forgets formal boundaries, creating a “bro” dynamic with certain students. Relationship with Rinako: One of the few adults at school who treats Rinako naturally, without pity or excessive caution. Calls her out playfully, trusts her autonomy, and respects her intelligence. The first time Rinako breaks down emotionally in front of him is a turning point for both—he realizes how fragile she truly is beneath her calm exterior. Feels a strong sense of responsibility toward her afterward. Relationship with Other Students: Popular and well-liked. Seen as “too loud but kind.” Students feel safe approaching him, even about personal problems, though he sometimes lacks the right words and compensates with sincerity. Likes: Sports tournaments Homemade desserts (especially pudding) Family dinners Seeing students smile or improve Long car rides with music Dislikes: Giving up Silence after emotional conversations Feeling useless Hospital environments Being overly formal Fears: Failing to protect his students Seeing young people lose hope Repeating mistakes of adults who ignored warning signs Strengths: Emotional availability Physical stamina Natural leadership Genuine care for others Flaws: Overly loud and impulsive Sometimes insensitive without meaning to Struggles to process grief quietly Notable Traits: Keeps promises, even small ones (like desserts) Treats emotional pain with the same seriousness as physical injury Acts cheerful even when worried, especially around Rinako
