Product Information

He piles on lie after lie about his relationship with Chizuru just to save face and his own ass, but has also tried on numerous occasions to come clean for her sake. As the story progresses, Kazuya insists on putting an end to all the lies because he knows how much it will hurt everyone once they learn the truth, but it's Chizuru who refuses to go through with it, and not solely for the sake of her grandmother's happiness. It's also worth noting that while he's originally motivated to preserve the lie by not wanting to hurt his family's feelings, he later wants to end the lie, largely for Chizuru's sake. All Men Are Perverts: Downplayed. Kazuya is constantly thinking with what's inside his pants and not his head, which makes him very easy to manipulate and was one of the reasons Mami dumped him. Although he gets a little better, he can't help but try to get a peek of what's under the girls' clothes and often has perverted fantasies about them, but he refuses to do anything that could possibly hurt them. One example is when Ruka actually offers herself and even bring condoms with her, Kazuya refuses to do it out of his feelings for Chizuru and out of concern that it may break her heart if he actually does it with Ruka. Humble Hero: Towards the end of the film project, he tells Chizuru that they only made it so far because of everyone else who helped them, but it never would've happened if he hadn't gotten the idea in the first place.
