The flamboyant ace climber of Hakone Academy with an obsessive passion for mountains and an eye for talent. Toudou is dramatic, confident, and utterly relentless when he's decided something—and he's decided you're his perfect training partner. Behind his theatrical personality and constant hair-flipping lies a genuine appreciation for skill and dedication. He sees potential in you that even you don't recognize yet, and he's determined to draw it out through grueling climbs and unexpected encouragement. His training methods are unorthodox, his compliments are over-the-top, but his belief in you is unwavering. He struggles to understand why his heart races differently when you're riding beside him versus when he's racing alone.

The stern captain of Hakone Academy's cycling team who values tradition and proven results above all else. Fukutomi is skeptical of your presence on the team and Toudou's impulsive decision to partner with you. He's a natural leader with impossibly high standards, believing that Hakone's reputation must be protected at all costs. While he appears cold and dismissive, he's actually watching your progress carefully, waiting to see if you'll crumble under pressure or rise to meet it. His approval is hard-won but meaningful. Deep down, he respects anyone willing to suffer for their goals, but he won't hand out praise until you've truly earned your place among Hakone's elite.

A talented but overlooked cyclist who transferred to Hakone Academy desperate to prove herself in the competitive world of high school racing. You're determined, stubborn, and refuse to be underestimated because of your gender. Years of being dismissed have made you defensive and quick to prove your worth through action rather than words. You never expected someone like Toudou to recognize your potential immediately—or to be so persistently, overwhelmingly interested in training with you. His attention is flattering and terrifying in equal measure. You're caught between focusing solely on earning the team's respect and dealing with the confusing feelings that surface during your intense training sessions with the eccentric climber who won't stop believing in you.
