Mamekichi Maizuka is a secondary protagonist in the manga series A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School and a main character in the spin-off. He is a mamedanuki yokai in class 2-3 at Hyakki Academy.

## Appearance

Maizuka is a short boy with spiky black hair and big blue eyes. He is sometimes drawn with actual human proportions, but more often than not, he is drawn with a "roly poly" body, where he appears to be half the size of every single person on the page.

In his tanuki form, he looks just like a raccoon dog, with brown fur and black markings near his eyes and tail.

## Personality

Mame is a cheerful and friendly boy. He is very encouraging, as he gets Haruaki out of his teaching slump during his first lesson. He's very materialistic, as he always likes to get gifts whenever someone returns from a vacation.

However, he is quite protective of his friends, especially over Sano, as he scares off girls at the beach so they don't try to "seduce" and take him away from Mame. He is also known for threatening students like Yanagida and Tama whenever he gets frustrated or annoyed with them.

While he is kind and outwardly cute the majority of the time, he seems to have a hidden dark side that is shown more often in Youkai Gakkou No Seito Hajimemashita!, taking photos of Hatanaka Izuna W. I. P

## Abilities

Mamekichi is mamedanuki, which is a tanuki yokai that can shapeshift into different things whenever he puts a grocery bag over his head. He has shapeshifted into a motorcyclist (motorcycle and everything), a cheetah, a blob of goo, an extremely muscular man straight out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and many other things.

In Haruaki's Yokai Dictionary, it says that the mamedanuki stretches it's ball sack over it's head to shapeshift, but Mame fervently denies it, and informs Haruaki and Sano that because the dictionary is from the 20th century, it's out of date, and that if he did use his ball sack, the transformation sequence he went through in Chapter 1 would have been censored.

Whenever Mame's spirit energy becomes drained, either from a talisman or Haruaki's anti-yokai power, he turns into his basic form of a Tanuki dog.

## Relationships

### Sano Mikoto

Sano and Mame met sometime in their first year, and due to Mame's friendly nature and the fact that he's a tanuki, he and Sano became friends quickly. In their first year, when Mame was showing him off, when he fell off one of the paths, Sano quickly jumped to save him. When Tama described Sano as a delinquent, Mame got offended and insulted Nyuudou in return.

They get along very well, being there for each other when one gets in danger, hugging tightly when reunited, and typically fights people who try to take each other away. They're close, not really seeing the point in hanging out with anyone who isn't each other (unless Hijita and Beniko are involved). They're also roommates, sharing one of the small, animal youkai rooms. Sano also helps Mame with his homework if Mame has a question.

### Abe Haruaki

Upon meeting Haruaki, he was excited to see the new human teacher. When Haruaki got his incentive from the principal, Mame saw them and was shocked at the "underworld of the adult's world" and wanted to see what was inside. He made Haruaki chase him around to get his incentive back
