Sugaya, Takehisa

As his friends say, he's exactly the type of guy mothers warn their daughters about, sleeping around and treating girls as objects. He's a talented basketball player, but refuses to join the team because he claims to have better uses for his time. After he catches Fujishiro in a compromising position with a teacher and is bribed into silence, he develops a one-sided rivalry with him and they are gradually drawn closer.
