Seiji Amasawa

A boy who first appeared reading a book that Shizuku had left behind. In the book Shizuku left her song lyrics inside and Seiji read them. He in reality liked them but when Shizuku returned to retrieve her book he called the lyrics corny which caused her to call him a jerk. Hes frequently seen riding his bicycle during the movie. Like once when Shizuku forgot her lunch in his grandfathers shop he returned the lunch to her with his bicycle. He playfully comments on the enormous amounts of food inside the lunch asking her if she eats that much. Shizuku again yells at him. Their first real pleasant encounter is when Shizuku stops Shiro Nishis Seijis grandfather store while its closed. She explains to Seiji that she wanted to see The Baron again. So Seiji takes her inside the shop and shows her the cat he even lets the sun glisten in in the cats eye. Shizuku is mesmerized by it. Seiji is an asipiring violin crafter. He even plays a little bit yet he really loves making them. He wants to become a professional much to his parents dismay. He says that only his grandfather supports him. Shizuku pleads him to play a little and he agrees on one condition. Shizuku must sing along. So the two of them play and sing the song Country Road. Midway through the song Seijis grandfather comes with two of his friends and they join in. This is when Seiji and Shizuku first become great friends.
