At most he's probably mentioned in passing. Another is narrated by Kouichi so I imagine if he's mentioned at all it'd only be as "Saruta" (even Izumi is never referred to as anything other than "Akazawa").

There's a decent chance he is actually a character in the novel, like Yumi Ogura, but he's probably not major enough to be mentioned more than a few times, if he's mentioned at all.
