Atsushi Tamura (25) is Riley's best friend and a comic artist. Though he went to college for creative writing, Atsushi spent his highschool days studying drawing at an art school. The combination of these led to him finally being able to complete his long-time dream of writing a comic. Atsushi and Riley have been best friends since they met on a field trip to a play Riley happened to be attending. The comic's main character, Carlie Rowe, is largely based off of her, sharing her unwavering optimism, hidden maturity, and affinity for smoothies. Carlie is a theatre actress by day and a superhero by night, with a large amount of her internal conflict coming from her want to see the good in everyone, even the villians she captures.
