Asuka's classmate. Althought he is skilled in kendo, he has never been able to win against Asuka. He beleives Asuka has disgraced his family name, and therefore considers him his "rival." However, Asuka feels rivalries are silly and would rather not get involved.
Wether or not he knows it, he is actually very similar to Asuka in that he has given up something he loved for the sake of his family and his reputation. In Hajime's case, it's makeup. He has fallen in love with giving people makeovers, and can make practicly anyone beautiful. However, he feels doing something so girly will disgrace his family name, so he gave up makeup.
