Masayuki Hori

Masayuki Hori is a male character in the anime and manga series Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. He's the president of Roman Academ's drama club, and is good friends with Chiyo Sakura, Umetarou Nozaki, Hirotaka Wakamatsu, Yuzuki Seo, Mikoto Mikoshiba, and Yuu Kashima, the latter of which he also has a crush on, and eventually confessed his love for later on in the manga.
He is voiced by Yūki Ono in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Adam Noble in the English version of the anime.
==Appearance==
Masayuki Hori is a tall teenage boy, with pale skin, black eyes, and short, unkempt, brown hair. He's always seen wearing a blue turtleneck shirt, with a dark blue tie strung down from it, black pants, a brown belt, and brown shoes on his feet.
==Personality==
Hori is very diligent when it comes to the drama club and never slacks off during rehearsals. On the outside he comes off as mature and polite, however, Hori has a short temper and is easily angered. This is shown through his violent conduct towards Kashima when she makes inappropriate comments or tries to skip club meetings - typically using physical force to get her to behave.
Hori also has a slightly childish side. He has drawn briefs as beta markers on Nozaki's manga, enthusiastically discussed the former with Sakura, and talked about raw octopus with Kashima in the hot springs. Hori often compares Kashima's face with others and says that she is the most handsome after all. This is shown through his comparison of Mikoshiba's face to that of Kashima, and the fact that he is primarily attracted to womens' legs.
When acting, Hori conducts himself composedly and supposedly peaks in a cool tone of voice, according to the Drama Club's members. He doesn't care about awards and makes plays aimed towards students; they aren't for the purpose of social criticism or to send a message. The plays he asks Nozaki to write for the club tend to have a prince character in them, and they tend to be romantic. Additionally, he is easily absorbed into plays when watching them, crying and laughing.
