Dino (ディーノ Dīno) is a 26-year-old Italian chef and the manager of Stile. He loves anime girls and figurines; he often stays up late to watch late night anime. His nose bleeds whenever he gets excited. Due to his attraction to black-haired Japanese girls, he develops an open crush on Maika Sakuranomiya, but she is oblivious to his feelings.
Appearance
Dino is a tall, handsome and well-groomed pale-skinned young man with blond hair, blue eyes and perfect eyebrows. His uniform is a white button shirt with rolled sleeves up to his elbows, black pants, brown shoes and a black apron.
Relationship
Maika Sakuranomiya
Dino doesn't take it well when he hears Maika may be dating someone. He also says he'll never let her quit, which is usually said in a cutesy manner but can probably be mistaken for this trope as well. He falls in love with Maika at first sight and then is thrilled when he runs into her again and hires her for his cafe. His actions pretty much show that he's only interested in her, though he does a terrible job at showing his romantic interest in her, such as when she thinks she's not doing her persona correctly at work, due to the things he says about it.
