## Personality

In general, Tanukichi tends to be a kind, calm and helpful person. He is also very reliable when it comes to saving any situation. He used to love dirty jokes, as he said them all the time with his father, Zenjuro. However, after he was arrested and Tanukichi became a social outcast, he grew a heavy disdain for dirty jokes.

## Biography

After graduating from a middle school with the 'lowest morals score' he worked hard to pass the entrance exam to be transferred into Tokioka Academy to be in the same high school as Anna Nishikinomiya; a woman he admired for her pure heart. Despite being quiet and non-disturbing in the new school, his 'dirty' past still caused many of his classmates to avoid him. To his surprise, Anna asked him to be by her side in the Student Council to help her stop Blue Snow's terrorist attack without going unnoticed as he is the only one who can detect her 'lasciviousness' attack. He eagerly agrees to help her as this has been his long time dream, but his dream quickly turns into a nightmare when he finds out that Vice President Ayame Kayou is Blue Snow. He finds himself constantly torn between keeping Ayame's alter-ego as a lewd terrorist a secret to the authorities as Ayame warned him that if he exposes her, Anna will get attacked the most by society as she is the Student Council President and unknowingly best friends with Blue Snow. Tanukichi is now playing a deadly game of cat and mouse as he has to help Anna stop Blue Snow's attack while secretly being a part of it.

### Background

Tanukichi Okuma was taught at a young age on many dirty jokes and lewd acts by his father Zenjuro Okuma. His father was strongly opposed the enactment of "Act of Promoting Sound Ways of Life and Public Order" and started to commit dirty-jokes around his area. He was eventually arrested by moral authorities in defiance of the moral laws. After his father's arrest has been publicized around the media, many people started to avoid Tanukichi as they believed he would follow his father's foot step and commit the same act of lewd
behavior. As a result Tanukichi started to slowly hate his dirty unmoral jokes for making his life full of misery and solitude.

Tanukichi saw a new lease on life one day when his mother took him into a day care center. While he was again living his life in isolation, Anna
Nishikinomiya surprised him as she whole heartedly came up to him. She was the first person to ever talk to him and for that he was motivated to become a pure
hearted person like her. He was set and determined to get accepted in Tokioka
Academy as it was not only a nationally acclaimed top-tier school in terms of
its public morality but also the same academy where Anna is the Student Council
President.

Tanukichi was full of delight when he got accepted in the academy
but as he is taking the train on his first day of school, he noticed a
gorilla-looking man giving him a scary look. Despite the fear the gorilla guy put him through, he decided to changed out of his uniform and disgused himself to help the mysterious man as he was being falsely accused by a woman for
groping her ass. Tanukichi managed to drag the woman out of the train before
causing a major scene. She openly admitted to trying to scam her way into
getting money from that man but out of anger she told authorities the same lie
to get him in trouble. Though he thought of escape routes through out the train
station, he didn't not think moral authorities would surround the
area. Just when he thought his chance of pure hearted redemption was lost, Blue
Snow appeared.

Tanukichi didn't understand why the moral authorities told everyone
to run away, until he heard her yell "Big Dick!" This caused everyone
in the station to act franctic as they didn't want to be tainted by her dirty
words. Despite her lewd act, Blue Snow gave Tanukichi an escape route after she
purposely threw pornographic pictures around the train station.

After escaping from the authorities he attends his first day of
school only to be dragged by Ayame Kajou to go to the Student Council. He meets
Goriki and realizes that he was spying on him to witness the infamous
terrorist's son. Confused as to what was going on, Anna explains to him that
they need his knowledge towards lascivious acts that Blue Snow is planning to
do as they admitted that they at times can't tell whats dirty or wrong until
someone points it out. Tanukichi enthusiastically agrees as it was his goal to be
by Anna's side to keep the world morally pure and kind hearted as her.

His life long dream comes to an abrupt halt when he goes to the
cafe with Ayame Kajou and she reveals to herself that she is Blue Snow.
Tanukichi was quick to try to report her to authorities but she managed to
detain him before he revealed her true identity. In the end Tanukichi has been
dragged by Ayame to follow both their father's attacks by black
mailing him that if she gets exposed he will be blamed as being an accomplish
to her crimes or that Anna's pure image will suffer by society as they will believe
that she was a part of her scheme since they are from the same council and
best friends.

In the end Tanukichi refuses Anna who returns normal.

### Anna Nishikinomiya

Tanukichi first met Anna when they were children at a daycare. From then on, he has had a crush on her, which is why he was so excited to join the Student Council. Tanukichi stated that he admired Anna's purity, which is why he wants to become as pure as her. However, in Episode 3, Tanukichi trips and accidentally kisses Anna as he tried to defend her from the stalkers. At first, Anna went at great lengths to avoid Tanukichi, running off without saying a word when the two bumped into each other. Their relationship took a turn for the worst when it is revealed that Anna is Tanukichi's stalker, and rapes him in his bedroom. From then on, Anna continuously attacks Tanukichi in search for his "love nectar", causing Tanukichi's romantic feelings to shift towards Ayame.

After Tanukichi reluctantly joined SOX, he regularly hung out with Ayame, despite hating her dirty jokes. As time passed, Tanukichi began to grow a deep appreciation for Ayame's reluctance to give up in her beliefs and grew romantic feelings for her.
