Kento Hinode is the deuteragonist in Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu.

He is a middle school student and friend of Masamichi Isami.

Kento is an average height boy who has short black hair and large eyes. He is usually seen in the school uniform which is always very neat.

Kento comes off as quite a calm and reserved boy who usually is more open and friendly to those who are more close to him. He wishes he could be more open-minded like Miyo and has some problems expressing himself. Kento also doesn't like pushy people and was embarrassed and angry at Miyo when her letter for him was read out loud.

Kento is born in a joint family with his grandparents. As the only male member, he helps in their family workshop. His grandfather does pottery, and Kento grows an interest in it. While his older sister lazes in-home, laying on a sofa or doing small house chores.

Kento is normally reserved around school due to past incidents, but Muge tries to interact with Kento crossing the mental barrier. After school, Kento works in his home workplace with other staff, does house chores, and spends time with a stray cat named, Taro, which is Muge in the disguise of a cat. But soon, their relationship and lives take different turn and face twisted difficulties in school and another realm.
