Sakamoto

## Voices

**Sakamoto** (坂本, *Sakamoto*) is a recurring character of the series.

## Appearance

Sakamoto is a very handsome fair-skinned bespectacled man with smooth black hair that is parted on the right, dark grey eyes and a beauty mark underneath his left eye. He has a tall, lean yet muscular physique and he is considered to be the best looking guy by all who encounter him. He has significant reflexes like Spider-Man. He always wears a black school uniform with a white undershirt, black shoes or indoor school shoes.

## Personality

Sakamoto is known for being calm, cool, and collected at all times. He exemplifies traits of kindness through acts such as helping Yoshinobu Kubota when he was being bullied and reluctance to indulge in vengeance or contempt.

Sakamoto is a model student for all in his school. He is the perfect man who can solve any problem with a kind yet calm persona. He exudes a model persona of humility as he never intentionally draws attention to himself or tries to act as cool as people perceive him to be.

Because of this, many girls fall for him, and his male classmates resent and respect him. Although he acts strangely sometimes (such as doing weird poses or acting sneakily), which only adds to his coolness. Sakamoto has a range of "secret techniques" which allow him to do various things, such as catching bugs using merely a compass or blowing bubbles that looks like smoke.

He almost always seems to know what is going to happen and what to do often in cool and stylish ways, even though his mystique usually turns out to be merely deceptive in nature. Despite this, his extravagant acts still seem to leave people entranced, whether they realize the falseness of his omnipotence or not.
He is also extremely smart and does exceedingly well in school.
