sugawara fumiya

Age 32. Editor at Weekly JIDAI. Sugawara operates more like a paparazzi than a traditional reporter. He tracks down high-profile scandal stories and waits them out to capture the perfect photograph. Surprisingly, he possesses an inner calm that he expresses through his love for sky photography. However, to the outside world, he comes across as a gruff man with a bit of a mean streak.
