Description of Mr. Kimura:

Mr. Kimura is an old schoolmate of Yuki's mother, Shizuko. He appears in a flashback when Yuki recalls seeing her mother express happiness in his presence. At one point in Shizuko's life, it is insinuated, that Shizuko may have considered divorcing her husband for Mr. Kimura.
