Sugimoto Terufumi

Japanese name:

杉元 照文

A first-year student of Souhoku High Bicycle Club, Sugimoto has a heavily parted black hair and a self assured smile. A self-proclaimed experienced cyclist of three years often giving advice to the other 1st years, his actual skills on a bicycle compared to the others are questionable at best though as he doesn't seem to have the pure talent that Naruko and Imaizumi have or the motivation to overcome challenges like Onoda has. He does have a pretty nice and even pace as a cyclist though. He failed to complete the 1000 km requirement of the training camp because he didn't want to cycle in the rain.
