The pitcher for the Mihoshi Academy baseball team, Mihashi's former team. He tried to convince Mihashi not to give up on baseball after his bad years at Mihoshi. He was close friends with Mihashi when they were young, and alone out of the entire Mihoshi team believed Mihashi was the better pitcher.

After a falling out with his middle school team, Mihashi enters Nishiura high school with no social skill, a warped opinion of himself, and every intention to quit baseball. The newly formed Nishiura baseball team, however, needs a pitcher, and they welcome him. Most enthusiastic is Abe, a domineering catcher with his own game issues. 
And so a battery every bit as complementary as it is dysfunctional is formed. If they can figure out how to work together, they might be the answers to each other's problems-and the team might be able to win.


He is a voice actor (seiyuu) belonging to Amuleto since October 1, 2014 and previously was affiliated with Mausu Promotion.
