Due to her boyfriend writing her name on his papers, the debt he falls into forces Satsuki to make a moonlight escape from her normal life.

Age: 30 Takako is a business consultant adviser for Kissuiso. She attended the same university as Enishi. Trying to revitalize the inn, she works hard in order to have the staff have the correct manners. Because she only visits once a month, and thinks that the inn is staying old-fashioned, her changes to and plans for the inn are sometimes a bit radical. She also speaks English, as seen in the anime. Takako and Enishi fell in love with each other and got married in episode 22. (Source: Hanasaku Iroha Wikia)

Age: 16 Birthday: November 30 Zodiac sign: Sagittarius Height: 147 cm Ohana Matsumae is the main character of the story. She is an energetic and mostly optimistic 16-year-old high school girl. She was born in Tokyo, but is sent to live at her grandmother's inn, Kissuisou, when her mother elopes with her boyfriend to avoid debt. At her grandmother's request, she works at the inn as compensation for her residency. Before she leaves, her best friend, Kouichi Tanemura, confesses to her. However, he runs off before she can answer him. Ohana now feels awkward whenever she thinks about him. She has many ideals and a strong sense of justice which often clash with people working at the inn; including her grandmother. Her desire to help others usually backfires or goes unappreciated. As a result of her mother's poor parenting, she became independent at a young age and grew up with the mentality of relying on herself only. However, since working at Kissuisou, she has realized how tough it is to go through life alone and begins to rely on others. She goes to the same high school as Minko, Nako, and Yuina. After Kissuiso's temporary closing, she moves back to Tokyo with her mother. (Source: Wikipedia)

She attends the same high school as Ohana, Minko and Nako. Yuina has a strange habit of observing and using foreign dialects, often switching which dialect she uses. While Yuina is the class heart throb (along with Minko), she turns down every love confession. It is revealed that Yuina has a fiancé, Yosuke, who is not only her childhood friend but also a manager at another hot spring inn. Yosuke wants Yuina to work alongside him at the inn, but she refuses, saying that she doesn't like working at an inn. Later she helps out, as Yosuke's inn is short on people. Yuina mentions that this is her first time doing actual work and that it wasn't so bad.
