Daisuke Higashida (東田 大輔 Higashida Daisuke) is the main protagonist of WWW.Working!!. He is a high school student who takes a part-time job at Wagnaria where he does not want to work, but he is forced to take on a part-time job to pay for his personal costs after Kousaku Higashida's business went bankrupt. He is from the first season.

Appearance[]

Higashida is a handsome teenage boy with black hair, his eye color seems to be a yellow-hazel color, his face usually gives out emotions but his face turns emotionless when he is relaxed and he has a thin figure and is of average height.

Personality[]

Unlike the rest of Higashida's family, he has a serious personality and easily annoyed (and subsequently retorts) at anyone who get on his nerves, especially his carefree family. He can be seen reluctant to work since he thinks that it'll affect his grades. It has been noted by others (and himself) that he's unable to properly smile because of Hana Miyakoshi. He's also quite perceptive, able to notice others thoughts with accurate result. He's a smart student and sometimes it annoys Miyakoshi that he is so knowledgeable.

Family[]

Kousaku Higashida[]

Kousaku is Higashida's father whom he is often mad at for being so carefree about losing his job and not having a steady income. Higashida urges his father to think seriously about his job and do something about it. Because of his father going bankrupt, Higashida also has to pay for all of his own amenities which is why he took a job at Wagnaria in the first place.

Co-workers[]

Hana Miyakoshi[]

Higashida thought Miyakoshi was nice when he first walked into the restaurant for his interview but once he was hired, he saw the real Miyakoshi that he said was quite serious and even scary. He initially dated Miyakoshi to improve her cooking but soon develop feelings for her and started dating for real. He also comments that after eating so much of Miyakoshi's homemade chocolate, he is starting to lose his sense of taste.

Sayuri Muranushi[]

Higashida is good friends with Muranushi where they often talks to her casually, asks her for advice and work together normally, although he is spooked by her ability to see that one customer 'spirit' that no one else sees.

Shiho Kamakura[]

Kamakura treats Higashida as an equal.

Yuuta Shindou[]

Higashida often feels concerned and sympathetic towards Shindou's tragic financial situation and the way Shiho Kamakura treats him.

Kisaki Kondou[]

The first time Kisaki and Daisuke meet, she attempts to get out of working her shift. Kisaki asks him a history question, to which Daisuke quickly answers. Shocked, Kisaki finally begins her shift.

Masahiro Adachi[]

Higashida often feels concerned where he is sorry for Adachi and his situation with Sayuri Muranushi through the series.

Takuya Kouno[]

Kouki Saiki[]

Kenichirou Sakaki[]

Higashida often says that the manager is useless, stupid and not deserving of the job outright. Despite that, he has never struck the manager like Hana Miyakoshi does and he wants the manager to be a normal worker unlike the rest of his colleagues.

Classmates[]

Miri Yanagiba[]

Higashida is always telling Yanagiba to go to school as she never does and Higashida thinks that she is compromising her education and future. Yanagiba considers Higashida as one of her only friends (as well as Rui Nagata) even though he openly says that he 'hates' her and is angry with her. He doesn't really hate her as he says and just doesn't want her to be disadvantaged in the future.

Rui Nagata[]

Higashida is oblivious to the crush that Nagata has had on him for a while, but he considers her a good friend as he asks her to make friends with Miri Yanagiba because she won't go to school because of her lack of friends.

Etymology[]

  • The name Daisuke means "big, great" (大) (dai) and "help" (輔) (suke).
  • Daisuke's surname Higashida means "east" (東) (higashi) and "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta/da).

Trivia[]

  • According to the WWW.Working!! Official Fan Book:
    • Higashida likes peaceful days, chocolate (from stores) and he starts to develop feelings for Hana Miyakoshi.
    • Higashida's favorite colors are black and blue.
  • Higashida is in the same school as Souta Takanashi.
    • He is the only male main character that is from the same school as Takanashi.
  • Higashida shares a resemblance to Kirio Yamada from the original series, although Higashida sports a more mature personality than Kirio.
  • Higashida mentions that his job as a part-timer was kept a secret at school because the school did not allow any of it students to work part-time, this proves that Takanashi's job is also a secret too, as they're from the same school.
  • It is unlikely that the main characters know each other or are close (Higashida and Takanashi) as they passed by each other in the first episode.
