Masaki Kobayashi is the owner of L'Amant (French for 'The Lover') restaurant and a former Yakuza. He's an openly gay man and prefers to be addressed as Marie, though he is often addressed as The Master or Mari-san by others. His coworkers are Fumiya Kurimoto and Ayano. Kobayashi tends to aid Natsuo and others by providing advice and consultation.

Appearance: Kobayashi is a strong and athletic individual, keeping himself in shape with various exercise, including yoga. He has long, curly black hair that is often tied in a ponytail, and sports a light trimmed mustache. He is very high maintenance, keeping his body hairless and well moisturized, and wears expensive cologne. Kobayashi has a typical Yakuza style tattoo that covers his back and parts of his chest. Although he can look quite intimidating when wearing his old Yakuza outfits, he often prefers to wear something more effeminate and/or revealing. His typical work attire includes a usual waiter's button shirt and bowtie, but he happens to wear very short trousers with leggings.
