Played in the Dorama by Yuki Izawa"


 * Babies Make Everything Better:
 * Big Brother Worship: Until that thing with Sumire. And the being a School Nurse.
 * Butt Monkey
 * The Dulcinea Effect: Happens around most women. He chases a photographer off for Mieko, and really goes out of his way for Miya.
 * Embarrassing Nickname: Suka-chan, but he gets used it.
 * Fragile Speedster: Kazuya can run 100m in 11 secs, despite not being particularly robust physically.
 * Nosebleed: Though in his case, nosebleeds are usually the result of stress instead of arousal. Of course, given his love history, arousal = stress.

 * Parental Abandonment
 * Redheaded Hero: Except in the drama

 * Cross-Dressing Voices: In all versions of the OAV.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Source of all the Bridget dropping.
 * Family Business: His family owns a chain of hotels and ryokan.
 * Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Does this a couple of times, but it's justified given the assumptions people tend to make about him based on how he looks and acts.
 * Inadequate Inheritor: Until his sister was born. Also seems to the root of his Freudian Excuse for being unusual.
 * Keet: He's not as hyperactive as most, but he's perky and cheerful and most everything else a Keet is.

 * Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: Mitsuru opens the library fight with one of these.


 * Red Oni to Shinobu's Blue
 * Shirtless Scene: Furo Scenes not withstanding, this happens a couple of times, when Nagisa forces him to strip after she kidnaps him, and lampshaded when he makes the mistake of standing near an open window without a shirt on during one of the stories set during the summer and his fangirls get photos.
 * Shut UP, Hannibal: In a delayed fashion to Shinobu.
 * Trickster Mentor: To Kazuya.
 * The Only Way They Will Learn: In particular, when he leaves Kazuya in charge of the dorm for one night, though Shinobu undermines it somewhat by telling Kazuya almost immediately after Mitsuru leaves.
 * Urban Legend Love Life: For all that he's a legendary Chick Magnet, he's never shown actively pursuing anyone. He's also easily flustered by panties for someone who's supposed to have a lot of experience.
