Harukaze Kurobane (黒羽 春風, Kurobane Harukaze), or Bane-chan, is a very strong player with deep responsibility in everything that he does. Despite being a rough-looking player, he is very close to the kids who play around Rokkaku's playground and look after each in a brotherly fashion. Of course, he also looks after his kōhai (opposite of senpai),Hikaru Amane, whenever the latter gives stupid puns, and he cannot help himself but hit the guy as punishment.
