Rich Girl Caretaker Cast
The rich girl and her new caretaker are as follows:
- Itsuki Tomonari — Yuto Uemura (Amajiki Tamaki from My Hero Academia). Itsuki became Hinako’s attendant after his parents left him destitute.
- Hinako Konohana — Konomi Kohara (Arona from Blue Archive the Animation). Hinako is the dutiful and slovenly daughter of the CEO of a trillion yen zaibatsu.
Studio Brain’s Base maintains a home page and a Twitter (X) page to promote Rich Girl Caretaker. You can find more information about the series and the key visuals at those sites.

Itsuki Tomonari works tirelessly to earn enough to support his family. He took a job in construction and another part-time job to afford both his family’s bills and his school tuition. Despite his efforts, his parents continue to gamble away his earnings. Their wretched natures became manifest when they fled their home with Itsuki’s money and their own belongings the night before their bills and his tuition were due. They left him with just a couple of hundred yen and without hope to speak of.
His luck reaches its natural conclusion when he sees a wealthy girl get abducted before he can return her student ID. The kidnappers grab him to clear out any witnesses to their crime. Itsuki learns that the girl is Hinako Konohana, whose family owns a zaibatsu worth 300 trillion yen. She certainly doesn’t act like it, prompting Itsuki to take care of her until help arrives. It’s fortunate that Hinako’s Kiou Academy student ID also acts as a distress signal. Hinako’s servants save her from danger and save him from homelessness.
