Toni Takara's Links
(Hinimato Act III/IV-ish. Toni is 19+)
It's always nice to have another friend that will protect Toni, and Nobuyuki is no exception. Despite his relationship with Higgy, he seems very gentle and kind! He doesn't have any animosity toward Higgy or Nobuyuki, so he never joins in on their bickering, unlike when Maxy is involved. Toni looks forward to Nobuyuki teaching him what he needs in order to survive in the industry, not wanting to be kicked out of Benji's a second time.
100% Son Material. The only reason Nobuyuki doesn't speak up about Toni's horrible fashion sense is because he's so adorable. And because he doesn't want to break his spirit, like a certain someone has been doing. Incredibly fond of him, enjoys teaching him all sorts of things about their field, seeing as how he's been in it for years and is way ahead of him in experience. Hasn't belittled him for that even once, though. Nobuyuki is fully aware the kid's got a lot of potential.
