Kodaka Hasegawa/Plot Overviews

Background
Ten years prior to the start of the series, Kodaka was living with his family in Tooya City. His mixed ancestry played a bad role on Kodaka's life of a primary schooler. He had blond hair that he received from his mother and sharp eyes he received from his father, traits of a "so-called" delinquent. Because of his looks, one day he was scolded by his teacher for apparently "dying his hair" and straying from the "right path".

In his early childhood, his father was best friends with Tenma Kashiwazaki, and because of this, he had met Sena Kashiwazaki, though both of them could not remember.

Sometime in the future, at the park beside the school, Kodaka was attacked by five primary schoolers, who saw themselves as "protectors of justice" who must punish the "delinquent", Kodaka. Despite Kodaka's stubborn attempts to fight back, they beat him up and threw stones at him.

Just as the primary schoolers continued their abuse of Kodaka, a mysterious boy showed up and tried to stop them, saying that they shouldn't bully the weak. This angered Kodaka, and to the surprise of everyone present, Kodaka punched the boy in his face with all his might. He replied "I am not weak", and they began to fight with each other whilst ignoring Kodaka's latter attackers. Feeling insulted, the bullies attempted to attack both of them while they were fighting but Kodaka and the boy halted their battle to counter the bullies. Kodaka and the mysterious boy eventually won the battle.

Nevertheless, Kodaka and the boy continued their previously interrupted brawl until it was apparent that neither was going to surrender. Kodaka smiled and said "You're rather strong", to which the boy replied "You're not bad too". Thereafter, true friendship between the boy who called himself "Sora" and Kodaka under the nickname "Taka" began. They met up and played every day after school at the same park where they once fought.

That continued until one day Kodaka's family was forced to move to another city because of his father's work.
