Haruo Yaguchi

A young man who is dismal in various facets of life: Hes not academic hes not athletic and hes not very attractive. The only thing hes got going for him is an insane amount of mad gamer skills. He rules the arcade scene as Beastly Fingers Haruo until he meets his match during a fateful encounter with Akira Oono while playing Street Fighter II. Undeterred he seeks to challenge and one day out play her considering her his rival. While he starts off as a snarky brat with an ego bigger than any winning streak he could rack up in Street Fighter he eventually grows out of it. However he never abandons his dedication and love for gaming which almost borders on unhealthy obsession. On the bright side this pure passion for gaming is what leads him to finding some of his closest friends.
