Kaoru Yamazaki

Summary
Kaoru Yamazaki is a major character in the series who is an aquaintance of Sato. The first time they met was in highschool when Sato rescued him from bullies. Yamazaki is an otaku obsessed with bishoujo, hentai, dojin, and garuge. He's spent most of his life on his family's farm and rebeliously moved to Tokyo in order to study game programming and design. Coincidentally he is the noisy neighbor that lives next to Sato.

Background
Yamazaki was born to a farming family where everybody lived their lives planned out.

He attended the same High School as Satou and Hitomi. However, his flamboyant personality and anger pissed off most students at the school leading to him getting frequently beaten up (Satou recalls this anger in the series, and once remarked that he'd beat him up too). Satou tried to help him once, but was beaten up in the process. This left an impression on Yamazaki, and he befriended Satou.

At this time, he started to develop his otaku tendencies, and started to draw in manga art style. Satou remarks in the series (after seeing Yamazaki as a full otaku) that he had a feeling he would end up that way.

He stayed on his family's farm, but found out that they already planned his life out (Marry at 22, first child at 27, second at 34 e.t.c.). This caused him to want to move out to Tokyo,where he could make his dream of being a game designer. He moved to Tokyo, where he now lives and goes to school at a video game writing/design school.

Personality
Yamazaki has a good personality when he isn't angry or pissed. Unfortunately, when he gets a temper, he gets very angry, which led to him being bullied in highschool. He also openly states that he hates all women(though this is void whenever the girl he likes calls him). This and his displeasure toward fireworks are due to his childhood, when he invited the girl he liked to the firework show, but she didn't go with him, instead he found that she went with another guy.

He is also very ambitious, shown when his dreams for his and Satou's game development company are shown. He also works hard, shown when he takes up all the game devlopment duties(save for writing) for he and Satou's Gal Game: True Love.

When he is drunk, he also gets very arrogant, and his tempered personality surfaces.
