Motoharu Kaburagi is Onoe's colleague whom at first, Onoe despised. At first, Onoe despised Kaburagi because he had caught what-he-thought-was-his-girlfriend hugging Kaburagi in the office. Ironically, he was soon moved into a new section of journalism, working alongside Kaburagi.

His character is introduced as an attractive, quite popular and cool photographer. Often you may see him smoking whether he's on the job or not (most of the times he smokes when reflecting on something). He attracts attention from women everywhere and anywhere he goes, inevitably redeeming himself a "womanizer" status. Despite his appearance, Kaburagi is dedicated and serious about his job. He is steadfast when it comes to capturing evidence on a scoop, even so much as to lend his body and deceive his subjects to gain information. Though he is deceitful and shameless for the sake of his job, Kaburagi identifies that he is "fake" but towards Onoe he is honest and blunt. Kaburagi is captivated by Onoe's honesty and often embarrasses Onoe by teasing. And he may not look it, but he can be quite jealous over Onoe (especially when it comes to Onoe &amp; his friend, Masa).

He has a younger sister named Noriko.

Hardworking, good-looking, and heir to daddy's company, Shimano thinks his life's just about perfect. Except that he's working from the bottom up in the company, and he can't seem to get along with Kurokawa, his manager. Competent but flippant, Kurokawa always seems to pay extra attention to Shimano, whether it's teasing him to make him work harder or covering up for his mistakes, which of course drives Shimano crazy. So he has Kurokawa firmly blacklisted until he realizes that Kurokawa's private life isn't a bundle of roses and begins to sympathize...and how are you supposed to hate someone you sympathize with, anyway?
