**Daichi Kitaumekawa** (北埋川 大地 *Kitaumekawa Daichi*) is a side character in *Happy Sugar Life*. He is Satō Matsuzaka's teacher at Makisuhara High School, who is renowned for his good looks and nice personality among his students.

However, underneath the facade lies a deeply perverted man who takes an special interest in Satou, obsessing over her after a school event.

## Appearance

Daichi is a young adult man with charming features. He has short brown hair, dark purple eyes and oval-shaped glasses.

When his darker personality is shown, his eyes become a glowing purple and his facial features are much more diluted and frightening.

## Personality

At school, Daichi is considered to be a kind and helpful teacher who demonstrates his concern for his students by speaking to them privately about personal matters and offering assistance in any way he can. But in reality, he is married and has a wife and a daughter, but pretends to be single and is very popular with female students.

He is a perverted man who wants to have harem of women, regardless if they are his own students. Satō Matsuzaka uses this fact against him as she knows that despite his cheating, he doesn't want to lose his family or take the blow to the reputation that would come if he were found out.

## Background

Daichi is a teacher at Makisuhara High School who teaches mathematics. He is married but is unsatisfied with family life. Ever since the school entrance ceremony, Daichi had his eyes on Satō Matsuzaka. He stalks her when she would leave work and head for her shared apartment room with Shio Kōbe. Realizing that he was following her, Satou takes an alternative route, leading her teacher to a seemingly empty alleyway. Once there, Daichi confesses to have lusted after Sato because of her features and he attempts to have his way with her, which causes Sato to have a slight breakdown within her mind, causing her to subconsciously trigger her safety alarm to activate. Seeing that residents were alerted to the alarm, Daichi backs off.

The next day, Daichi prepares to leave his house to go to work only to get an unexpected visit by Satou. Despite having a wife and a daughter, Daichi explains that it wasn't enough for him and as such, he wanted to be with as many women as possible, even if it meant targeting and making advances on his students. He unwittingly enrages Satou who proceeds to force him onto the ground, and she began to stomp on his crotch repeatedly, which invokes Daichi to develop pleasure from it. Satou threatens to inform his wife about his lecherous behavior but she instead chooses to manipulate him into working for her. Fearing the repercussions that would come from his reputation getting destroyed due to his perverted nature, Daichi obliges to assist her.

Sato gives Daichi the three bags, instructing him to destroy them without anyone noticing and is last seen burning the bags. He began to suspect what could've been the contents within the bag, pleasuring himself to the smell of the burning bags.

Daichi returns, suspecting that Sato had murdered her aunt given how mail sent for her would return. He sends some police officers to investigate the apartment flat, relishing in the thought of Sato being made to pay for everything. However, it is revealed that Satō's Aunt was still alive, meaning that the person in the body bags was unrelated.

At the end of the manga and in the last episode, Kitaumekawa is arrested as an accomplice to the arson incident.
