Ichizen Ameya

Ichizen Ameya (飴屋一喜, Ameya Ichizen) is a minor character in Advance! Kitakou Broadcasting Club and a student at St.Andreas Azumi Academy, only existing in Kitakou Pure.

Appearance
Ichizen does not appear to wear the same uniform that the other boys at Azumi do, instead wearing a bright yellow vest over his uniform shirt and slacks. He wears a brown hat with bear ears over his short, somewhat shaggy hair.

He is the second-tallest of the Azumi clique.

Profile
Ichizen is cheerful, positive, and full of energy, yet reckless and not very intelligent when it comes to studies (making it a mystery as to how he got accepted into Azumi). As he's a former athlete of the track and field, he has incredible feats of super-strength. He is the son of a Tokyo toy store owner, and is always finding something to do with his time. He also likes to draw anime and to buy model kits.

His prized possession is a teddy bear (Konchinessa Bikushoru), though this same teddy bear is a cursed one that brought misfortune and death to all that had owned it, and that can transform into a vicious monster. But even so, he finds the bear's voice to be "cute".

Ichizen has the strange verbal tic of "Ssu!".
