Keiichi

{{Keiichi}} is a passionate individual who tends to express strong emotions freely, for good or ill. He also has a great amount of charisma, which is presumably why he's already so well-liked in Hinamizawa by his friends and the other villagers who know him. Keiichi is also in love with life in Hinamizawa, because it's so much more fulfilling than his old life.

{{Keiichi}} has a strong belief that fate can be defeated, and he's the one who teaches Rika and Hanyū through his actions that fate can be broken, and how to do so. He inspires Rika multiple times with his unyielding determination.

{{Keiichi}} is normally open and outgoing, but when something comes between him and his friends, he can become very withdrawn and overly self-reliant, making it easy for him to develop Hinamizawa syndrome. It takes him remembering his mistakes from other worlds for him to really start trusting his friends.

{{Keiichi}} is terrible at cooking.

{{Keiichi}} and Rena are very close friends, and over the course of their story, their relationship proves arguably one of the most significant.

{{Keiichi}} and Hojo Satoko are really good friends that have an older brother/younger sister relationship, and like most brothers and sisters, they like to pick on each other.

Just as Rika is revealed to be the primary character of the series, her relationship with Keiichi similarly proves pivotal. The presence of Maebara Keiichi becomes one of the needed catalysts to help the group survive
