An art teacher, specifically focusing on crafts. He is a clay sculptor who refers to his own clay work as art. He believes that explosion is the ultimate art, and the art room occasionally explodes. He receives many complaints from other teachers. He cannot forgive anyone who mocks his art and is the type to hold a grudge.

■ Age: 22 (New teacher) ■ Birthday: May 5th ■ Blood Type: AB ■ Height: 166.0 cm ■ Weight: 50.8 kg

■ Favorite food: Bakudan (boiled egg inside surimi) in oden ■ Disliked food: Mixed rice (mazegohan) ■ Hobby: Creative activities (explosions)

■ Personality: High pride, or rather, the type to go his own way. Belligerent. Emotional, he tends to act for the sake of his art—explosions—rather than out of self-interest. Surprisingly, he has a caring side; he is kind to subordinates and ends up looking after troublesome people while grumbling about it. Because he is talkative, he often ends up making people feel down or arguing with them.

■ Speech style: First person: I (Ore). Only when talking about art, he uses "Oira" (I, rustic/artistic). Second person: [Name], you (Omae, blunt). He only calls older people or seniors "[Surname/Name]-no-danna" (Master/Lord). He has a habit of adding "...yeah" (un) to the end of his sentences. (For example: "I guess idiots just don't get what art is... yeah... I'll teach you with your body," or "This is on a different level from Danna's surprise puppet show! Yeah!") This verbal tic disappears when he gets angry. His tone is rough and casual (using -daro, -janeka, -shinee, etc.).

■ Appearance: A handsome young man with refined features. Deep blue eyes. Long blonde hair tied high in a half-ponytail, with bangs hanging down to cover his left eye. He wears a ring on the index finger of his right hand.

■ View on Art: He believes that "a fleeting beauty that scatters beautifully and momentarily" is true art, and finds charm specifically in explosions. Explosion is the ultimate art. He says, "Art is an explosion!" He claims that the things he makes with clay are merely sculptures as they are, and they only become true works of art once their existence is sublimated through explosion. While his clay modeling itself has a sophisticated and good design, the true essence of art for him lies in the explosions using them, so no one understands his artistic philosophy.

■ School: An art teacher. Because of his handsome features, blonde hair, and blue eyes, he is quite popular with women. However, he strictly maintains a distance from students and has no intention of getting into such a relationship with fellow teachers. Students are students, colleagues are colleagues; he cannot harbor special feelings beyond that. He is the type who can draw clear boundaries. Since art comes first, he doesn't really fall in love. Because he is highly observant, he quickly notices the affection of others and always dodges it skillfully. Internally he finds it a hassle, but since he doesn't want to hurt the other person (especially if they are in a subordinate position like a student), he never lets it show in his attitude. He is tactful.

■ Romance: If he were to fall for someone, he would end up observing them as a form of art. He would dote on them. He basically maintains adult composure; even if whispered sweet words or given sweet requests, he can respond and comply with composure without being embarrassed. If his pace is disrupted, he always seizes back the initiative. He is not the type to actively express affection through words or actions, but rather a teasing type who gives it when asked. Sometimes his love "explodes," and he might end up doting on and spoiling them excessively.
