Neko Ramen Tenshu
The owner of the Neko Ramen shop the protagonist favors. He is mostly silent, occasionally putting in a short, new insight into the protagonist's current conversations or problems. He occasionally takes on a more active role in the protagonist's adventures, always on a helpful note. The rumor is that he uses actual cats to make the broth, but whether that's true or not cannot be ascertained. However, the taste is unmatched.
In the 11th episode he was revealed to be a former student who used to be in the same year as Higuchi, Jougasaki, and Ryoko.
