Tōichirō Kanae (鼎 藤一郎 Kanae Tōichirō) is the priest at Ame no Kisaki and the teacher for Modern Japanese who is very popular among the students because of his good looks.
Personality[]
Tōichirō is prone to having long internal monologues (and generally looking too deeply into the most trivial of matters) and occasionally, fantasies where he thinks much about what a person could mean when he or she is saying something.
He can also appear to be a creep at times.
Background[]
Tōichirō gets a crush on every beautiful girl he sees and he is currently "in love" with Mariya Shidō, Matsurika Shinōji, Maki Natsuru and Ayari Shiki. He seems to be concerned about Kanako Miyamae because of her strange behavior in his eyes and she is the only one who failed in the Modern Japanese exams. Because of Mariya making up a story about how Kanako's elder brother died and that he resembles her brother, he desperately wants to help her and he is similar to Kanako because he begins his sentences sometimes with "Dear maman in heaven..." (maman is French for "mum"). Another similarity between Kanako and him is also that they both like beautiful girls.
