Hiroyasu Ueda  

, 植田 弘康

Hiroyasu Ueda is the owner of Chiroru, a local bakery which Yumi once worked in and which Chi ends up working at. He is 38 years old, although he looks as though he is only in his mid-20s, at one point noting jokingly that he has a "baby face". He, too, has suffered a trauma involving persocoms.
