Sawatari Eigo

*"Team Otori...... has a rich individuality of interesting members."* - **Sawatari Eigo**

## Appearance

Sawatari has dark brown hair and bangs which part from the center. He has light brownish-yellow eyes.

Sawatari wears the school uniform in the proper way.

In his training attire, he wears a white zip hoodie with black trims on the pockets and a black line that starts at his shoulders and goes all the way down the sleeves. He wears the sleeves 3/4 down his arms. His hoodie is zipped up half way and he wears a light yellow shirt inside. He wears a pair of white pants and a pair of white dancing shoes.

## Personality

Sawatari is very observant. He often shares his thoughts with Tatsumi. He also thinks logically and acts responsibly. He gets along with members from both Team Hiragi and Team Otori.

## History

Sawatari has known Tatsumi since birth and has taken care of him since. They attended the same middle school together (along with Nayuki and Tsukigami) and were nicknamed 'Princess' and 'Knight'.

## Relationships

### Nayuki Toru

The two knew each other from middle school and are to exchange greetings to each other.

### Tsukigami Kaito

The two knew each other from middle school. Sawatari doesn't know why Tsukigami, who started the year at the top of the class, was placed on Team Otori.

### Tatsumi Rui

Because their families are close friends, Tatsumi and Sawatari have known each other since birth. They are childhood friends, classmates, roommates, and teammates. Sawatari used to take care of Tatsumi whenever he was sick (a trait that has continued years later). Sawatari believes Tatsumi is worthy of being a king. The two frequently exchange remarks with one another.
