The son of a man whose business is in debt, so he works in several jobs including delivering newspapers and being a host in order to pay the debt, making his situation somewhat similar to Higashida. He considers the job at Wagnaria the most important since he gets leftovers for free. His father's business is a Butcher's Shop whose display is rather gruesome. Shindō and Shiho have known each other since childhood and he rejected her, the event caused her to subsequently torment him as his father is debt with her father's company and she uses this situation as leverage. He's very much oblivious to Shiho's lingering feelings for him, which causes her to bully him even further out of frustration. (Source: Wikipedia)
