Sangoro- friend of Midori and Shota
Chokichi- back street gang leader and fire chief's son/he humiliates Midori when Shota was away.

Q. In Child's Play, what do you make of the Midori/Nobu relationship?
- the readers pretty sure that Midori and Nobu has such a good memories of childhood together, though it changes as they grow up. Page. 1820, "They played their games of tug-war and catch and jump rope with such ardor that no one seemed to notice the sun going down. But what had come over Nobu? He has lost his usual composure." The friends around Nobu started to tease him and it ended up changing his attitude around Midori. on the same page, Midori asked Nobu if he could get the flowers off of the tree, Nobu picked the flower from a tree and flung it to her. As children grow up they tend to pat attention to the environment around them and change their behavior according to what's happening around them.
