Smile Yashunobu, Yamato's "friend" from childhood suddenly shows up one day in Yamato's room. His past is revealed to be a perverted child. He never shows this trait in front of adults, so he is thought to be more mature than Yamato. In addition, it is revealed that he is also very mischievous, playing tricks all the time. To prevent Yasunobu from hitting on Suzuka, Yamato tells Yasunobu that Suzuka is an ugly 50-year-old woman, getting himself in trouble with Suzuka. |

When least expecting it, he is approached by Honoka, who is revealed to be part of Yamato's past. He later accompanies Suzuka shopping, resulting in him getting sick. When he hears a knock on the door, with anticipation he expects Suzuka, only to find Yasunobu accompanied by, surprisingly, Honoka. |
