Zenya Okinaga

Zenya Okinaga (翁長善弥 *Okinaga Zenya*) is a main character and antagonist of sweet pool. He is described as weird and erratic by others around him, because of his incoherent words and actions. He attends Komanami Private Academy.

## Appearance

Unlike the other students of Komanami, Zenya usually does not wear his uniform and instead wears a green shirt, saggy pants, sandals, a hat with pins, and a black rosary. The likely reason why he gets away with violating dress code is because he is the son of a mob boss. He has blond hair, green eyes, and a pale complexion. Outside of school he is often seen wearing a beige shirt with a purple cardigan.

He also always wears an eyepatch on his right eye. Later it is revealed he wears it to conceal his strange eye, covered in portruding veins and meat.

## Personality

Zenya is mainly known for his weird actions and eye-catching behavior, leading most students in Komanami to dislike or fear him, for you never know what he'll do next. Despite having this strange exterior, beneath it all is a person with pent up rage. He speaks in a silly manner, but can switch to yelling and mood switching in a blink of an eye, often lashing out to his caretaker Kitani, his father or people he interacts with at school. We later learn there is a reason why he has so much aggression underneath his bizarre exterior and actions.

## History

Born as the son of a mob boss, Zenya never really had a normal life. His father, obsessed with the cult and parasites, attempts to turn his son into a Perfect Male, and force feeds him the meat parasites. Since you have to be born a host to be perfect, it turns Zenya into a failed host. This is the cause of Zenya's right eye being strange. Thus, when Zenya has his mood swings and moments of weakness, he curses himself and calls himself a failure.

During the course of events during the game, Zenya constantly bothers Youji, teasing him about knowing about his condition. In an attempt to make Tetsuo digusted about Youji's condiiotn, he kidnaps Youji and Tetsuo and puts smells in the room to trigger Youji's lust. This backfires, because Zenya did not realize that Tetsuo is also a host. This greatly angers Zenya, and he then continues to pester both Youji and Testuo throughout the game.

During 5PM at the school a song plays. Whenever this song plays, for some reason, Zenya runs and hides and covers his ears, saying that the song makes his head feel like its splitting open. This started the rumor that Makoto brings up that everyday at 5pm, Zenya disappears.

In Zenya's ending, since he is a failed host, the "babies" that he refers to are actually just failed bigger versions of the meat Youji excreted before, since he cannot successfully breed.

## Relationships

Youji Sakiyama - Zenya notices Youji is like him when Youji starts to show signs of being a host. Since Zenya knows more about his condition than Youji, he often teases Youji and takes advantage of him.

Tetsuo Shironuma - Zenya sees Tetsuo like a rival after finding out he is also a host. He strongly dislikes him despite never really having any interaction with him or Tetsuo doing anything. He likes to press Tetsuo for reactions, but since Tetsuo doesn't show emotions at all he ignores him, which annoys Zenya very much.

Kitani Kouhei - Kitani is Zenya's caretaker and butler. Kitani acts as Zenya's parental figure at times, driving him to school, making him food, and taking him shopping. Zenya greatly appreciates Kitani, often hanging out and talking with him more than his actual father.

Kunihito Okinaga - Zenya greatly despises his father. While Kunihito thinks highly of his son, Zenya turns down all of his attempts to reconnect with him, often throwing things at him and being violently distant.

Kristi - Kristi is Zenya's beloved pet iguana. He treats her very well, feeding her and making her outfits to match with him. Kitani often takes care of her when Zenya is at school.
