An **unnamed boy** is a background character of the *Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro* manga series. He is a high school student who acted as "**Sakura's stalker**" (桜のストーカー, *Sakura no sutōkā*) after becoming obsessed with her, only to be forced into asking for forgiveness by Nagatoro and then becoming a sort of servant to the gyaru.

His name is currently unknown.

## Appearance

The stalker is a very tall and overweight high schooler with short, straight black hair combed in a side parting hairstyle. He has an extremely pale complexion, pronounced nose and thick lips. The stalker is short-sighted and always wears a pair of horn-rimmed glasses that obscure his eyes. Despite his portly build he is incredibly elusive and sneaky.

He typically wears his school uniform, consisting of a white button up shirt (whose sleeves and collar he always keeps tightly buttoned) and black trousers completed with a pair of sneakers.

When not at school he usually sports khaki pants, a black shirt and a dark tie.

## Personality

While not necessarily malevolent, the stalker is a creepy individual who followed Sakura everywhere she went after becoming obsessed with her, to the point of reducing her to tears and prompting her to ask Senpai and her friends for help out of fear. Aside from this side of his personality, the boy seems very introverted as well as servile, he rarely speak and if he does is monosyllabic. Due to the stalker's creepy nature, Senpai got quite offended when Nagatoro, as a joke, said they were of the same kind.

## Biography

### Early life

The boy was born in Hayama, Kanagawa. After reaching teenhood he began to attend Kazehaya High School and became a member of the games club.

### Story arcs

#### New semester

At some point during the new semester of his second year, he and his club began to hang out in the school cafeteria getting "loud and annoying", which prompt Nagatoro's clique to move in the art club room, while Sakura worked on seducing them one by one in order to sew seeds of jealousy in the group and making it collapse as they all began to compete for her attention. The scheme backfired and she began to get stalked by one of them; in a panic, she asked Senpai to pretend to be her boyfriend hoping it would discourage the stalker from following her everywhere. Nagatoro refutes the idea, saying that Senpai would likely begin following her as well, and that instead of losing her stalker she’d gain twice as many. They go along with it anyway, and Senpai and Sakura proceed to go on a fake date to try and lure the stalker out into the open. However, upon seeing them together, Nagatoro became jealous and caught the stalker herself shortly before forcing him to apologize and promise that he would never do it again.

At some point after this, realizing her errors, Sakura joined the games club and made amends to its members; the stalker became very servile to the gyaru, who somewhat forgave him, albeit it’s implied that she still doesn’t trust him.

#### Culture Festival

In order to compete for the Culture Festival, the girls choreographed a dance featuring Nagatoro in her cat costume, together with Yoshi and Sakura wearing mascot costumes, the "I'll Bully You Dance" and uploaded it on YouTube, making it the talk of the school; the day of the festival, they entered Senpai's display and performed said dance. At some point, Sakura, having got tired and feeling hot, asked her former stalker to fill in for her in the mascot costume so she could go get an ice cream; then, at 12:10, Gamo-chan made Senpai and Nagatoro go get some food saying that Yoshi and Sakura could work harder to fill the void until she came back. However, after Sakura reveals that she sneaked away and swapped with someone else, Yoshi and Gamo-chan get mad, find the stalker, profusely sweating, inside the mascot suit and started to beat the latter.

## Trivia

* Although his exact school year is unclear, it's unlikely for him to be a third year, since he is an active member of the games club; during the last year of high school in Japan, students are usually encouraged to leave club activities as to focus on their studies.
* Despite the experience with the stalker having helped Sakura grow as a person, recognizing her errors and making amends with the ones she hurt, befriending one of the group of boys she tried to break up with, it's implied that neither her nor her friends have completely forgiven him.
* In the anime, when Nagatoro captured him, the stalker wore regular clothes instead of his school uniform.
	+ Also, he was simply credited as "**Otaku**" (おたく, *Otaku*).
