Kouta Asano is the president of the school's First Newspaper Club and rivals with Ayaka Nikaido of the opposing Second Newspaper Club.<br /> <br /> Kouta possesses immense pride (despite his general ineptitude and many other characters' dislike for him) and this clearly shows in his pretentious personality and sarcastic manner of speech.<br /> <br /> He is always trying to one-up the Second Newspaper Club, partially because he hopes that doing so will allow him to win over Ayaka romantically, despite every indication that this is no more than a fantasy.<br /> <br /> Kouta is also a voyeur, and often takes photographs of girls from revealing angles and even comes up with the occasional ambitious scheme in his never-ending pursuit of satisfaction, much to the despair of the girls around him.<br /><br />
