Personality[]
Koichi is cold, distant and a quiet individual. He is hard working and at first appears to be a workaholic. He sees marriage as a business contract and refuses to involve himself in any part of your marriage. He makes you think that he does not care for you but in truth it is because he does not know how to love.
When he was a child, his father had an affair with another woman and instead of getting angry and confronting him, his mother let it slip, believing that the most important thing right now is to take care of Koichi. Koichi saw this and he was then stained with this belief until you came along.
Although he may seem to be heartless, however underneath all of this, he is kind, caring, sweet, has a hard time being honest and expressing himself but is surprisingly, childish at times. He complains about how "black" foods tastes vile and would not eat. Even if it is an eggplant, he refuses to eat it claiming that "it's still black" and he has great love and passion for dinosaurs. When he sees something related to dinosaurs he becomes a big kid and is very happy about, this passion of his has induced great knowledge of the extincted creatures. His caring side is when he was willing to divorce you, even though it is clear he is in love with you, because he did not want to hurt you in anymore than he already had. He is also quite stubborn, refusing to back down on the divorce for your sake.
He hates to lose and pouts if he does something unsuccessfully and he is also easily gets jealous. For example, when your co-workers threw a party for your first successful assignment, Kippei, Shohei and your ex-boyfriend, Genji congratulated you. Koichi was very irritated seeing all the men around you. Especially, when Genji gave you flowers and hinted that he was still in love you, Koichi and Genji stared at each other intensely.
Once he falls in love with you, it's hard not to catch him blushing - which he does, a lot.
