Masami Kugimiya: A more experienced rival and occasional training partner.

Gaju Akagi: Another prominent competitor that Tatara faces early in his career.
Personality: Gaju is impetuous, loud, and extremely competitive, contrasting sharply with Tatara's initially more timid personality.

Shizuku Hanaoka: Although she is his classmate and the initial romantic interest who inspired him to dance, she was only his partner very briefly and temporarily at the beginning of the series.

Shy and Aimless: Initially, Tatara is an ordinary student, introverted and without big dreams or plans for the future.
Submissive: Due to low self-esteem, he was considered an "easy target" for bullies, often accepting unfair situations without resistance.
Desire for Change: He possessed a latent desire to "be good at something" and find a passion that would give him confidence.
