All that time, in the character select screen we saw, right next to James' silhouette (when he was still unreleased), a silhouette resembling Kei Kurasawa, a younger male character prominent in the story as the protagonist's cousin. Earlier today it was revealed that the sixth character is not Kei, but yet another character who shows up during the story...
He was revealed to be Satoshi Sugimoto, a 60 year old sensei who advises the protagonist, Sachi Aida, in the high school she attends to.
Like Saeki, Sugimoto was a character appearing in the plot since the beginning (unlike James, who didn't even had a sprite in Seifuku no Ojisama's first release), and now he's joining the roster of fine gentlemen, now standing as the oldest character with a route in Seifuku no Ojisama (previous oldest character was Saeki, at 56, while the youngest is Tachihara with 45).
Now, people who believed Kei was the final character might feel like being trolled by the devs. However, with such a cleverly sly move, the game still mantains itself true to the legacy of falling in love with older characters~ （_*´▽`*）ﾉ♡
There's still no further news as to who his seiyuu will be *is secretly wishing for a certain someone*, and the release date of his route is still not set, but I'll surely keep my watch as close as I can!

I was really happy when they announced Sugimoto as the new character. Ever since I laid my eyes upon the guy in the prologue, I thought he was kind of cute; all smiley and seems pretty small and timid XD It would definitely feel weird if it had been the cousin.
