### Type of Hero

Alien

**Ichika Takatsuki** is the main female protagonist of *Waiting in the Summer* series. Ichika is a foreign student who suddenly transferred to Kaito Kirishima's high school. The truth is she is an alien who come to Earth to find her dream land. She acts to save Kaito from the injuries he sustains when her ship crash-lands. Like Remon Yamano (Ichika's "best friend"), she is a third-year student in Kaito's high school and she currently lives in Kaito's house after he unconsciously offers for her to live there.

In the U.F. stories, Ichika is a student in Class 1 of Unity Force Academy.

## Appearance

Ichika has long red hair that is tied in a small ponytail on the left side with bangs hanging on the right side, violet eyes and she wears square-rimmed glasses which is a device in order to able to read earth language. She didn't bring any clothes besides her school uniform, so she often uses Nanami Kirishima's clothes or buys some. She is often seen carrying Rinon (Ichika's pet), which is her partner.

## Personality

Ichika is a kind, polite and friendly girl who is an odd cook as her food combination choices are bizarre, but it is still edible. Being an alien unaccustomed to life on Earth, her actions may seem weird in the eyes of others, but she is quick to correct herself, if only to hide the fact that she's an alien.

Despite her awareness of Kaito Kirishima's feelings, she still treats him like her little brother; because of Nanami Kirishima's request to take care of him. As the time passes, she slowly grows aware of her own feelings toward him.
