Hōjō

Hojo (宝条, Hōjō) is a school friend of Kagome who has a very large crush on her. Kagome's school friends think that Kagome and Hojo should be together, but Kagome is conflicted with her feelings between Hojo and Inuyasha.

Hojo is always under the pretense that Kagome has a fatal illness, due to the excuses Kagome's grandfather tells in order to keep Kagome out of school for long periods of time while she in in the Feudal Era. Because of this, Hojo is frequently seen giving Kagome traditional remedies and supplies for her various fictional illnesses.

In short, Kagome is attracted to Hojo, but in a friendly way. Hojo seems to be a girl magnet.
