Recently, her father remarried to a very rich woman. Himeno had a hard time adjusting to having two new step-sisters and living in a mansion. Himeno is a bit stubborn, but it helps her to be determined. Himeno has a tendancy to hide her unhappy feelings behind a mask of cheerfulness. Although she is always very kind and considerate, Himeno often doesn't tell people what she is really feeling. This may be because she has a big responsibility and feels the need to be strong and protective.

He is very smart, though could be considered some what vain, because his office cubicle is full of pictures and items of himself.

Mannen, Knight of Ice Hair: White, short Eyes: Lavender Mannen likes to play jokes on people, and has a hard time staying up late. It is very easy to bribe Mannen, whether its with respect or chocolate ice cream. Mannen is very defensive of his actions and also extremely stubborn. He often defies Goh because he wants to be considered as an adult. However, his tricks and/or false stories are usually spoiled by Hajime and Shin.
