My Love Story!! - Characters & Cast

Character Analysis

Takeo Gōda

Takuya Eguchi

Archetype: Gentle Giant
Key Trait: Boundless Selflessness

Motivation

Initially motivated by a desire to see everyone else happy (especially Suna and Yamato), his motivation evolves into sustaining a healthy, mutual relationship while protecting those he loves.

Character Arc

Takeo begins the series with deep-seated insecurities, assuming no girl could ever find him attractive. Over 24 episodes, he transitions from a boy who tries to 'give away' his crushes to Suna, to a confident young man who understands his own worth and learns to fight for his own happiness without losing his innate kindness.

Rinko Yamato

Megumi Han

Archetype: The Sweetheart
Key Trait: Sincere Devotion

Motivation

To be the best partner for Takeo and to make him realize how incredible he is through her baking and support.

Character Arc

While she starts as a seemingly 'perfect' and shy shojo heroine, Rinko develops a proactive streak. She learns to communicate her deeper, more 'selfish' desires (like wanting more physical intimacy) and stands up for Takeo when others judge him by his looks.

Makoto Sunakawa

Nobunaga Shimazaki

Archetype: The Mentor/Loyal Confidant
Key Trait: Stark Integrity

Motivation

To ensure Takeo—the only person who truly understands him—finds the happiness he deserves. He values true character over the shallow attention he receives from others.

Character Arc

Suna remains the observant pillar of the group. While he appears detached, his arc reveals a deeply empathetic side, particularly during his father's health crisis. He learns to lean on Takeo as much as Takeo leans on him, softening his stoic exterior.
