Nino and Kou

'''Nino and Kou Ichinomiya are the two main protagonists in Arakawa Under the Bridge. ''' They first meet after Kou falls into the Arakawa river. Nino saves him from drowning. Kou's family never wants to be in debt to anyone. Kou even has a tie that was passed down to him that has "Never Be Indebted to Anyone" on it. So he asks what he can do to not be in debt. When Nino replies with "(To) Experience Love With Me" which causes Kou to have an Asthma attack but eventually agrees. First Date  In Episode 4, Nino and Kou go on their first date. Kou tells Nino that "The Most Important part of a relationship is distance". From Kou's thoughts, we find out he did some research for his date by reading some manga called "Centimeters Till I Reach You". They do many stances called "The Perfect first date distance", "So close yet so far", "Linked Heart Distance" and "Crossed Signals". When Nino realizes that they have walked right back where they started, She wonders if this is what a date should be like. Kou gets all defensive and lies saying he has more things up his sleeve. He says every date needs one thing "A Princess Ride".
