Behind the exterior of Mochizuki General Hospital resides the vigilante organization known as "Black Label."

During missions, he wears a bullet-proof motorbike helmet that covers his entire face.

Voiced by: Yui Kondou

The main female protagonist. Arashi's partner and senior at high school. While at school she acts calm and proper, she's really short-tempered and foul-mouthed, specially towards Arashi. She belonged to the Yakuza Kiba family, and her older brother Yuki tried to change it from the inside, which led him being killed on an arranged motorcycle accident, and she also got critically injured in said accident. She was saved by the Mochizuki Hospital staff, which led her eventually joining the Black Label.

Voiced by: Fuyuka Ōura
