Hosaka
From Minami-ke
Hosaka is a senior at Haruka Minami's school and captain of the boys' volleyball club, hopelessly and theatrically in love with her. He is voiced by Daisuke Ono, who returns for Minami-ke: Korekara in April 2027.
About Hosaka
Hosaka is a senior at Haruka's school, captain of the boys' volleyball club, and the most flamboyantly lovestruck character in Minami-ke. His devotion to Haruka plays out in elaborate fantasies that she remains blissfully unaware of. Chiaki knows him only as the curry fairy. Daisuke Ono voices him and returns for Minami-ke: Korekara.
Appearance
Hosaka is a tall, striking senior student, usually seen in his school uniform or volleyball kit, with a dramatic presence that fills any room he poses in. His theatrical habits extend to striking poses and, famously, unbuttoning his shirt at emotional moments.
Personality
Hosaka is grandiose, romantic and completely sincere, a combination that makes him both ridiculous and oddly admirable. Where other characters have a crush, Hosaka has an epic. He composes entire domestic fantasies about a life with Haruka while barely managing to speak to her, and his confidence never wavers for long.
Background & Story
Hosaka has loved Haruka from afar since the early seasons, protected from success by Haruka's friends Maki and Atsuko, who treat guarding her from him as a club activity. His one brush with the family itself involved curry, which earned him Chiaki's permanent nickname for him, the curry fairy. He returns in Korekara with Daisuke Ono.
