Hajime Sakaguchi

Hajime is Alice Sakaguchi’s younger brother. He is very protective of his sister and will do anything to keep her safe. He is incredibly opposed to Alice’s engagement with Rin due to her perceived distress at the idea and his general dislike of Rin. Hajime eventually solicits Jinpachi’s help in ending the engagement, as Jinpachi seems like a nice guy who genuinely cares about Alice, inadvertently cluing Jinpachi in to the secret engagement to which he and the others had, up to this point, been ignorant. Hajime is the only one in Alice’s family who unflinchingly believes in her supernatural abilities and the ludicrous stories that go along with them.
