The anime "Yagate Kimi ni Naru" has been airing since October 2018. It is based on the manga of the same name by Nakatani Nio, which is currently being serialized in the manga magazine "Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh". The story begins with the protagonist, Koito Yuu, a first-year high school student who does not understand the feeling of falling in love, being confessed to by a close friend at the time of graduating from junior high school, but not being able to reply. After entering high school, she is still struggling to respond, so she consults with Nanami Touko, a second-year student and member of the student council. Nanami says that she is not moved by anyone who confesses to her, but immediately after hearing Koito's consultation, she confesses, "I think I'm falling in love with you"... This is a work that depicts the love story between Koito and Nanami. In this article, I would like to introduce Hakozaki Riko, a teacher at Tomi Higashi High School, where Koito Yuu, the protagonist of "Yagate Kimi ni Naru", attends.

Hakozaki Riko is a Japanese teacher at Tomi Higashi High School. Although she is affectionately called Riko-sensei, she seems to be troubled by the fact that she should be called Hakozaki-sensei. Although she has a low profile in the student council at Tomi Higashi High School, which is left to the students' discretion, she does serve as the student council's vice advisor. At her previous school, she was the advisor for the drama club. She wears her hair in a ponytail and wears clean clothes befitting a teacher.

He is dating Kodama Miyako, the female owner of Echo, a coffee shop that the main characters Koito Yuu and Nanami Touko often visit. They have been together since college, and are now close enough to live together. They seem to generally keep their relationship a secret, but when Saeki Sayaka, who cares about Nanami Touko, comes to the cafe to ask for advice, the owner reveals about their relationship.

When the student council announced that they would be performing a play at the school festival, Kodama Miyako, who had found out that Hakozaki Riko had contacted alumna Ichigaya Chiyuki, asked Hakozaki whether she liked men or women. In response to that question, Hakozaki Riko says she has no interest in women, but that she is currently dating Kodama, and that Kodama is an exception.
