Relationships[]
Ryosuke Takahashi[]
Ryosuke was Kaori's only love interest at her college. He cared about her even when she revealed the fact that she may be forced into an arranged marriage by her parents. Her final phone call was to Ryosuke to say goodbye before she committed suicide. She was the one who gave Ryosuke the inspiration to start Project D.
Rin Hojo[]
Rin Hojo was Kaori's fiancé and her senior. He loved Kaori even though she didn't have the same feelings for him. When Rin found out Kaori was in love with someone else and didn't plan to marry him, he tried to blackmail her by telling he will create troubles for her father's business and job. Due to all these pressures, she committed suicide.
Father[]
Kaori's father raised her in all luxury and paid for her college. When he found out she did not want to marry Rin, whose family his company owned success to, he was angry at and forced her to marry him. His actions led to his daughter's demise.
