Mike McLachlan

Mike McLachlan, an Olympic gold medalist and a well-known Japanophile, is currently active as a sports writer. When he was in his first year of high school, he took a particular interest in promising track and field athletes Hiroshi Yūki and Tatsuya Moriguchi (voiced by Kiyoshi Urawa). During a tournament, he approached Hiroshi Yūki as he was heading to the restroom between events. However, when Hiroshi Yūki made a public blunder during the competition, Kaede Yūki went to comfort him, but Hiroshi Yūki responded coldly. Witnessing this scene, Mike McLachlan became disappointed and directed harsh words at Hiroshi Yūki. As a result, this incident deeply traumatized Hiroshi Yūki.
