Ayako Sawamura
A rough, aloof girl who is the only person who can catch Minatsu’s pitching. She has a crush on Coach Yamazakura, and manages to date him by agreeing to join the softball club.
After she is rejected by Yamazakura, she takes a hiatus from softball but soon returns for the team rather than for Yamazakura. She ends up with new teacher, Somei, who falls for her once she founds out that she is one of the only women who he is not deathly afraid of other than his mother.
