ogata takeshi

Cleanup hitter on Eisen's baseball team. He went to the same junior high school as Ami, and she views him as a close friend. Despite having a short temper and often resorting to violence, he shows cleverness and consideration towards people he cares about. In junior high, he made a promise to beat up anyone who asked Ami out on a date, and he kept this promise multiple times, even sending some individuals to the hospital. After struggling as a pitcher due to an elbow injury, he transitioned to playing third base. He also holds the top rank in the intra-school marathon and is seen by his peers as a natural athlete, excelling in any sport he tries. During the summer of his second year, he relocates back to his hometown to be near his ill mother. In his farewell scene, Keisuke remarks, "If baseball was an individual sport, you'd be in Koshien (National Tournament) every year." (Source: Wikipedia)
