Youtarou Hanabusa

The male protagonist. One of the last remaining knights in the twenty-first century, he has been trained to fight for justice and behave in a chivalrous manner that is far removed from normal modern behavior, to such an extent that some individuals have called him strange or even perverse. This behavior even ruined his friendship with a girl years ago, and since then he has wanted nothing more than to be a normal person. However, his white knight syndrome has been so deeply ingrained that he can't stop from going back to old habits when someone's in danger. Out of embarrassment, he wears a mask to hide his identity whenever he does this. After he learns that Makio lives alone and is not allowed to have any relationships, he decides to stay with her and protect her.
