a rival for Misaki as well, particularly when Misaki and Shintani's childhood friendship is made apparent. He refuses to give up on Misaki despite being fully aware of her and Usui's feelings for each other, having resolved prior to moving that he would not let Misaki having a boyfriend deter him. Misaki's mother and sister both note that he physically resembles Misaki's father. Reacting to this, he claims that he would never abandon the people he cares about. Later, Hinata notes Usui does just that when he leaves Misaki for England. Eventually, when he realizes that Misaki would always going to consider him only as a friend, Shintani decides to move on and takes an interest in Misaki's sister, Suzuna, who reveals her feelings for him in chapter 82.

At first, he, like the rest of the student council, is fearful of Misaki, but he eventually comes to be on fairly close terms with her and Usui. He is both terrified and awed of Usui after Usui kisses him as a "reward for his hardwork", though in truth Usui had only done so to restore Misaki's confidence.

He becomes close friends with Soutarou throughout high school. He later becomes roommates with Soutarou and considers him family.
