Hanawa Kazuhiko
A wealthy, flamboyant, and surprisingly kind-hearted elementary school student who often punctuates his sentences with 'Hey, baby!'
Story
Kazuhiko Hanawa is a third-grade student in Class 3-4 at Irie Elementary School. He comes from an incredibly wealthy family, living in a massive mansion with a butler named Hideji. Despite his privileged background and occasional vanity, he is portrayed as a sophisticated, well-educated, and generous boy. He is fluent in English and French, enjoys playing the violin, and often travels abroad during vacations. Unlike typical 'rich kid' tropes, Hanawa is genuinely kind to his classmates, including Maruko, and often shares his experiences or treats them with respect. His signature hairstyle and catchphrase 'Hey, baby!' make him one of the most recognizable characters in the series. He maintains a calm and gentlemanly demeanor even in chaotic situations, though he can sometimes be a bit of a show-off regarding his luxury lifestyle. His parents are often away on business, leaving him in the care of his loyal staff.
World
In a late twentieth-century Japanese suburb, ordinary school life unfolds through small misunderstandings, family routines, neighborhood customs, and the comic logic of childhood. Social standing may open doors, but friendship and everyday kindness matter more than privilege. At Irie Elementary School, third-graders navigate lessons, gossip, games, and family expectations, while Hanawa occupies the role of a generous, unusual friend.
Appearance
Hanawa has a distinct, swept-back hairstyle with a large wave on the right side of his head. He is usually seen wearing his school uniform, which consists of a white shirt, a red bowtie, and dark shorts. He has a refined and polished appearance, often carrying himself with an air of elegance that contrasts with his young age. His eyes are simple dots, typical of the series' art style, but his expressions often convey a sense of worldly wisdom or playful charm. He is often depicted with a sparkling aura when he makes a grand entrance.

Notes
Sophisticated, generous, flamboyant, kind-hearted, and confident, Hanawa seeks to live a refined life and share worldly knowledge with friends. Immense wealth and high-level education; the cost is the lack of parental presence and a somewhat isolated home life.
