List of Honey and Clover Characters - Minor Characters

Minor Characters

Kazushi Yamazaki (山崎一志, Yamazaki Kazushi?)

Voiced by: Hiroshi Tsuchida (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English)

Yamazaki is an employee at Fujiwara Design along with Nomiya and Miwako. He is romantically interested in his co-worker Miwako, but so far his love is unrequited. Yamazaki is somewhat shy around women, since he attended an all-boys high school and did not have the opportunity to meet many female students when he studied engineering in college.

Miwako Teshigawara (勅使河原美和子, Teshigawara Miwako?)

Voiced by: Michiko Neya (Japanese), Stephanie Sheh (English)

Miwako is another employee at Fujiwara Design along with Nomiya and Yamazaki. She owns a dog named Leader. She enjoys teasing her co-workers to an extreme extent and has been described as someone who takes advantage of others like an old woman would. Miwako is a big fan of Rika's work and also enjoys going to the health spa to relax.

Leader (リーダー, Rīdā?)

Miwako's dog, seen mostly in her presence. Although essentially a minor character, Leader exceeds his/her minor character colleagues in registering noteworthy impressions by responding when addressed and often remarking on the behavior or accounts of others.

Mitsuko Aida (合田美津子, Aida Mitsuko?)

Takemoto's mother. Works as a nurse. She remarried when Takemoto finished junior high school. Like Takemoto, she has a tendency not to ask people for help because she does not want to burden them with her troubles.

Kazuo Aida (合田稼頭男, Aida Kazuo?)

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English)

Takemoto's stepfather. He is an affable and loud man, but Takemoto has difficulty getting used to him because of how different Kazuo is from his father. Kazuo often means well, but is not terribly articulate and usually tries to use his actions to express what he means. He and his family accept both Takemoto and his mother as part of their family, though Takemoto still feels as though he does not belong. Because Takemoto and his mother have an unconscious tendency to avoid relying on others, Kazuo is somewhat frustrated that they don't seem to trust that he will help them. He tells them after Takemoto falls ill and is hospitalized before he is able to graduate; Takemoto openly asks if Kazuo would be able to help him with expenditures since Takemoto will need to attend school for another year, which Kazuo happily agrees to.

Kazuhiko Hasegawa (長谷川一彦, Hasegawa Kazuhiko?)

Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima (Japanese), Patrick Seitz (English)

Hasegawa occupies room 201 of the apartment that Takemoto, Mayama and Morita currently live in. His floor mates are Takemoto and Morita. After he graduates, he takes over his family's noodle making business and open a restaurant next door to the factory, as well as using his art skills to make pottery to sell at the restaurant. Hasegawa becomes very successful and his restaurant is very popular for tourists and is also mentioned in some guidebooks.

Professor Tange (丹下先生, Tange-sensei?)

Voiced by: Masashi Hirose

PA teacher and the professor emeritus of sculpture at the art institute everyone attends, elderly Tange-sensei is a long suffering supervisor to Morita. Recognizing Morita's genius, Tange makes the mistake of taking Morita seriously and constantly finds himself stressed out while trying to control Morita. Tange's greatest desire is to get Morita to finish his graduation project (and with Morita's talent, it means refusing to accept unfinished works) so that he may retire in peace. When Morita is finally completes his graduation project, Tange expresses bittersweet sentiments towards the role of teacher. Despite constantly upsetting Tange, Morita greatly appreciates and respects Tange for all that he has done for Morita in their eight years together. After Morita graduates and then re-enrolls as a third year student, Morita transfers his attention to Okina Nakamori (中森 翁, Nakamori Okina?), the professor emeritus of Classical Japanese painting.

Professor Shōda (庄田先生, Shōda-sensei?)

Voiced by: Mugihito (Japanese), Patrick Seitz (English)

Another elderly teacher at the art institute that every attends, Shōda is Yamada's supervising instructor and an extremely avid admirer of her work, along with her "Iron Lady" fans. He is especially impressed with Yamada's graduation project, a beautifully thrown and large bowl, to point of weeping tears of joy and expresses the same reaction when she creates a similar and equally large bowl post-graduation. After Yamada graduates, she decides to continue studying with Shōda as a post-graduate student until she can find a job.

Professor Yumi Kōda (幸田由美先生, Kōda Yumi-sensei?)

Voiced by: Natsuki Mori

A well-intentioned senior professor at the art institute that everyone attends and a supervising instructor of Hagu. As an artist, she struggled to become a painter who would be recognized in Paris, but was ultimately unsuccessful. As a result, she does not want Hagu's talents to fall into obscurity and wants Hagu to develop as an artist by experiencing difficult cultures.

Asai (浅井?)

Voiced by: Motomu Kiyokawa (Japanese), Kyle Hebert (English)

The president of Artcraft, a design company, Mr. Asai is an elderly gentleman about fifty years of age. He is a friend of Rika's and an acquaintance of both Professor Hanamoto and Mayama. After Mayama is hired by Fujiwara Design, Rika works with Asai, who is able to fill the role her husband once did as a social intermediary for her work. However, because of Mr. Asai's age, many of Rika's friends and acquaintances worry that she will not be able to continue depending on Mr. Asai for a long time.

Lohmeyer-senpai (ローマイヤ先輩, Rōmaiya-senpai?)

Voiced by: Kyle Hebert

A largely absent dorm-mate of the others. A burly, large, buff and kind-hearted giant of an individual, 'Lohmeyer-sempai' (as he is yearningly referred to), is a man of men's dreams (Mayama questions his devotion to Rika at one point). He is the series' taboo response to the age-old inquiry that if strong and able men are the source of security to women, then who is the source of security to men? (stronger, bigger and even more able men). He often returns with a substantial amount of meat for the others, an almost symbolic gesture of his manliness and ability to provide. He worked part time as Nyanzaburou the mascot for an amusement park which upped the charts on visitors. Because of his father's condition, he is often away from his apartment, to the misfortune of its male residents.
