Takashi Takeda

A friend of Koiwai and Yotsuba, having known Koiwai since they were childhood classmates. Standing 2m10 (6 ft 11 in) tall, he dwarfs the other characters, especially Yotsuba. He is always called by the nickname "Jumbo," and when Fuka learns his real name she calls it "common." He works at his father's flower shop, as Yotsuba discovers when she meets him there. He helps the Koiwais move in and frequently visits their house, where he is more or less treated as a member of the family by Yotsuba. __Personality__: Jumbo has a dry sense of humor and is prone to deadpan quip
