Her father owns a famous snacks company and she came to Shikada store to recruit Yō.

As Yō will not leave as long as Kokonotsu is unwilling to succeed him as Shikada storekeeper, she quickly strikes a deal with him: she will convince Kokonotsu to take over the store in return for his employment.

He constantly finds himself manning the cash register, more often than not a result of his father's trickery. After Hotaru's arrival, he also has to put up with her antics as well. He is nicknamed Kokonatsu ( ココナツ, 'Coconuts').

Saya has a hidden talent of toy mastery; at one point she defeats a well-prepared Hotaru at a game, an event that leads Hotaru to start addressing her with suffix shi ( 師), an antiquated designation used by disciples to their masters. Tō Endō ( 遠藤 豆, Endō Tō) Voiced by: (Japanese); Justin Pate (English) Older twin brother of Saya and a good friend of Kokonotsu. A laid back person who usually wears a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses.
