Shouta Kazehaya (風早 翔太 Kazehaya Shōta) is a character from the series Kimi ni Todoke.

Shouta is Sawako's outgoing and friendly classmate, as well as her boyfriend. He was so popular in middle school that he ended up with girls constantly wanting to confess to him. So many girls liked him that they in fact ended up forming the "Kazehaya is Everyone's" alliance in order to maintain some level of peace among his admirers. More than half of these girls now attend the same high school as Kazehaya, which has helped make him very popular in high school as well. Kazehaya has held a long standing interest in Sawako and admits (though not to Sawako) that he likes her, unaware that she feels the same for him. He often gets jealous of anyone who has the chance to spend alone time with her.

During their second year of high school, he begins to wonder if she actually likes him at all after she does not give him chocolates on Valentine's Day. He doesn't learn until much later that Sawako had simply been too nervous to give him any. He becomes calmer and shows a depressed, expressionless face more often after he begins to wonder over her feelings for him. However, after being confronted by Ryuu (influenced by Chizuru) and Pin, Kazehaya goes to Sawako as his friends jokingly remark that he likes Sawako. Kazehaya takes the remark seriously and agrees, subsequently confessing directly to Sawako.
