Hayase Toya

One of Kyo's friends and a member of the Swim Club; he chooses to rejoin the Swim Club after accepting Kyo's apology and deciding that his desire to swim again is more important than past feelings. He has shown signs of "awakening" and awareness that the world around him is a digital illusion, but does not become a Celebrant before the Maihama server is reset. When Sin and Abyss invade the Maihama server, he reawakens to an extent where he is able to join Minato, Irie, and Kuroshio to help Shizuno stop the Deutera areas from engulfing the Earth.
