Tomoko Kuroki

Tomoko Kuroki is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys Fault I'm Not Popular!, also known as Watamote. Socially inept and often desperate, the series chronicles her various attempts to try and become more popular at her school. Tomoko has a grim and cynical outlook on life, to the extent that during a day dream, she imagines herself on a motorcycle, only to crash and end up in the hospital. She has heavy bags under her eyes due to staying up too late playing games or watching anime. She is also rather perverted at times. However, she is often fairly optimistic, for example, she believes that it will only take about a month to get a boyfriend.
She will often imagine dubious situations with other boys or lust after her best friend, Yū Naruse. Tomoko also has a younger brother named Tomoki Kuroki, and a cousin, Kī.
She was voiced by in Japanese and in English.
==Biography==
Tomoko starts off excited about high school, having over 50 years of dating experience of 100 boys in Otome games whilst in the real world she is a shut in. However, once at high school, she finds things aren't going considerably well as having reached May without her talking to anyone in her class. It is at this point she decides to try and make herself more popular.
Tomoko has varying degrees of success with this, ranging from embarrassing herself to some success. She often turns to either her brother, Tomoki, or her best friend Yū Naruse to ask for advice, often to help with her own plans, which are usually somewhat perverted and generally backfire.
Though she has little to no success at first, she has slowly gained people's respect, and in her second year she has managed to get make a friend, Nemoto, in her class whom she talks to. She also befriends a member of the culture festival committee, though she has had very little interaction with the latter. It is also apparent that she has become slightly more confident in dealing with other people in social interaction. For example, being able to had over her home ec. ingredients, something she had been unable previously.
==Trivia==

*Her given name roughly means "wise child". Considering how often she makes bad decisions, it's safe to say "wise" isn't a good way to describe her.
*"Kuroki" can literally mean "black mood" which sums up her character pretty well.
*Tomoko shares the surname of Tomohiro Kuroki.
*Tomoko is the main target of a fan game by "tyangxii" titled No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Hiding!.
