Hijita Koutarou

Hijita Kotarou (泥田 耕太郎) is a dorotabou youkai in Class 2-3.
== Appearance ==
Hijita is a tall boy with medium length reddish brown hair (half of it tied up into a ponytail) and a red eye. Hijita has only one eye, and wears an eye patch on the left side of his head to hide the blank part of his face, where there is no eye.
He typically wears the normal school uniform. Any button up shirts he wears stay half open, revealing his chest. He wears gloves on his hands, as well. He only has three fingers on each hand, the other two being made of mud.
== Personality ==
He starts off hostile towards Haruaki, disliking him for being a human. After his first day in Haruaki's class however, his pity towards him makes him more friendly towards him as the series goes on.
To his friends, Hijita is very friendly and can be a bit teasing, such as teasing Utagawa and Nyuudou when they went to go fetch Haruaki during class.
He's know to be a bit of a pervert, during Chapter 35, he was found by Nyuudou trying to wait for a girl to walk above him to look up her skirt. He also asked Beniko in Chapter 24 to gather the cup sizes of the girls while they went to the public washroom.
== Abilities ==
Hijita is able to turn into mud due to him being a dorotabu. His powers aren't just limited to turning into mud though, as he can also use his mud to trap/hold others as well as create mud to throw
== History ==
== Relationships ==
=== Beniko Zashiki ===
Beniko and Hijita are best friends, being friends since birth. They live right next to each other and they went to school together for their entire lives. Beniko mostly protected Hijita throughout their years, taking on any bullies that got to him. Sometime in their first year, Hijita got Beniko into video games and thus he feels guilty for her shut-in behaviour. He and Beniko get along very well, Beniko agreeing to go along with many things that he offers as schemes. He also have been shown to have a crush on Beniko in many of the alter chapters, though it seems he's not willing to accept it.
=== Rensuke Nyuudou ===
In their first year, Nyuudou became Hijita's roommate, first as a request, but then as a desire to change Hijita's attitude. He and Hijita are friends, though they get into arguments rather often, usually due to Hijita's teasing or perversion and Nyuudou trying to stop his teases or schemes. However, it is known that they're rather close, considering that Hijita knew about Nyuudou running away from home very often, being able to ask if he did it once more over the summer when Nyuudou went over to Beniko's place for the summer.
=== Haruaki Abe ===
Upon Hijita first day in his class, Haruaki was rather excited to meet him, since Hijita missed the first day. However, upon learning about Haruaki being a human, Hijita immediately locked onto him for antagonis, due to his initial hatred of humans due to his sister's husband being one. He bullied Haruaki during his first day, though, after Haruaki's passionate lesson for the day, he decides to stop antagonizing him and apologizes. He gets along with Haruaki rather well after this, getting swept up in his antics. 
=== Sano Mikoto ===
He and Sano get along rather well, being shown to hang out together outside of school. He inquires Sano why Haruaki has his phone number and is rather surprised and disturbed by the answer. He, along with Mame and Beniko, dragged Sano to find out where Haruaki lives and learned more about his family. 
== Trivia ==
* His family is neighbours with Zashiki Beniko's family.
* He has the same birthday as Beniko.
