Otaku Takuro
Otaku is
a video game manic who spends his free time at the Crown Arcade believing the game center to be the
"castle for lonely boys." In fact, his name is a pun on the Japanese word for people like him. He hates Minako for
invading his sanctuary and becomes livid when Minako beats his high score and becomes Rank 1. He accuses Minako of
being a boy and demands that Minako strips herself.
"Boss" advises Minako to disguise herself
in order to give him the slip. Minako chooses to transform into an armored soldier just for the fun of it.
However, Otaku becomes completely infatuated with her and jumps her. Minako has difficulty escaping from Otaku's grasp
as the armor is too heavy and restricting. She quickly transforms into Sailor V and escapes but then he looks up her
skirt! Minako sends him flying with a
Sailor V Kick.

Amano Gurikaze
Amano is a greeky guy classmate who has a crush on Minako. Amano is always up to date on the lastest trends and

Wakagi Toshio ♥
Wakagi is
a police officer under Sakurada Natsuna and is assigned to the branch dedicated
to capturing Sailor V. He is a quite handsome and takes his job as an police officer seriously. Therefore he is very
determined and obsessed with capturing Sailor V and suspects her to be the organizer of the recent string of suspicious
incidents. He also hates Sailor V as she not only makes him look bad in front of his superiors, but she also makes the whole
Police Force look incompentent. Minako later develops a crush on him as well and even decides to give him chocolates on
Valentine's Day. Sailor V later steals a kiss from an unconcious Wakagi as thanks for protecting her.

Wakagi's brother +
Like Wakagi, Wakagi's older brother also hates Sailor V. Saior V not only steals his chance of winning a free
trip to Hawaii but also gets him branded as a pervert. His hatred of Sailor V causes Hibiskos

into a Hawai'ian bathing beauty.

Saitou ♥
Saitou is
another one of Minako's many "first loves". Minako meets him one day when he saves her and Hikaru from
harassing gangsters. Saitou-san himself is
a ganster and leader of a gang. Minako later finds out that he went
to the same middle school as her which makes him her Senpai. Minako often goes to find him afterwards and Saitou's
gang members even begin calling her "Minako-san" (which she enjoyed). Saitou's gang members soon reveals to Minako that
Saitou-san is in danger of expulsion from high school if he gets caught fighting again. Minako disguises herself as
Okamoto-sensei, the teacher that taught Saitou three years ago, in order to convince
Saitou to stop fighting. When Saitou sees
Okamoto-sensei (who is actually Minako in
disguise) he confesses his love for her and kisses her. It's interesting to note that Saitou bears a striking resemblance
to
Kunzite.

Baishaku Shinrou ♥
Baishaku Shinrou is Marie-sensei's ambitious editor whom Minako instantly falls in love
with because of his resemblance to Kaitou Ace. After Minako saves Marie-sensei's
dog, Baishaku hires Minako to become Marie-sensei's copy assistant which Minako happily agrees
to as it is the perfect excuse to see him again. Unfortunately, Baishaku later falls in love with
Marie-sensei and marries her.

Otonaru Maiku ♥
Otonaru is
a classmate who suffers from a weak constitution. Minako dubs him the "School's unknown idol" as he
is handsome and one-quarter Russian. He doesn't talk to people and this is why his classmates all avoid him or tease him
calling him "Toothpick". Minako, on the other hand, is intrigued by his mysterious and quiet ways. Minako makes several
attempts to get to know him and soon finds out that Otonaru has a passion for sports. Minako encourages him to join the
practices for the school's Autumn Marathon and he does but later collapses from over exertion. Minako visits him afterschool
to apologize and he tells her about his health problems and later gives her the Hachimaki stone as a good luck charm.
After that Minako visits his house everyday and sings karaoke for him as his house is a karaoke bar. Minako soon discovers
that
Mike Makki is responsible for Otonaru's weakening health and defeats her. As a result,
Otonaru's heart operation is a success and Minako wins first place in the marathon for him. However, Otonaru believes
that his miraculous recovery is due to his Russian pen pal coming to see him and tells Minako that he is now engaged
which devastates her.
