About

The student protagonist of Assassination Classroom. Attendance number 11. He serves as the narrator of the story, providing the internal perspective. Befitting that role, he is an information specialist who quietly observes and analyzes the situation from his position rather than stepping forward. He rarely attempts to assassinate Koro-sensei out of personal desire, instead spending his time recording various details about him. While they mostly seem like trivial flaws and weaknesses, they prove surprisingly helpful. He has a kind heart but does not tolerate unreasonable situations. When students protesting Mr. Takaoka's lessons were suppressed with violence, he remarked that he wouldn't be satisfied until he landed a blow; hearing this, Nakamura commented that he's more of a 'carnivore' than he looks. As his appearance suggests, he is a protagonist whose gender is frequently discussed. He is a prime example of the 'draw a girl and call it a boy' trope. Beyond just looks, it is mentioned that his physical stamina is on par with the female average, making it low for a boy. He is also the shortest and cutest among the Class E boys. This is often brought up by other characters: Nakamura gave him a nickname based on it, and Karma constantly teases him. Hayami even said his crossdressing looked so natural that it lacked any sense of novelty. Consequently, in the episode where they used code names for a mock battle, he was dubbed 'Gender Unknown.' When the circumstances behind why he was raised to look feminine were later revealed, it became impressive that he could take the other children's teasing so lightly. Thank you for 20,000 hits.
