Ryūnosuke Tanaka
They played on the same junior sports team as kids and have known each other since grade four of primary school. She may have been very close with him at that time as she still calls him "Ryu-chan" and he calls her by her first name.

In chapter 246, during a flasback, it is revealed that in 3rd grade when some boys on the soccer team made fun of her height, it was Tanaka who stood up for her. He tells her that she's "tall and awesome that way" and should walk with her "chin held high". He is also seen taking her to see a gym and could have possibly introduced her to volleyball. When a teammate asks him what was so good about him, she says that he helped her gain confidence in herself and is seen getting flustered.
When they again meet later in the evening(their hotels are next to each other),when she is about to say something, Tanaka says that he "already has a girl his heart is set on"(aka Kiyoko). When an "older city boy" comes over, he runs away asking her to pretend none of that happened. The city boy turns out to be a cousin and Kanoka says he came at a bad time and says tearfully that "her heart shattered into pieces".
