Naosuke Katsurada

"*Don't anger the student who's gonna cut off your electrical power.*"
—Naosuke Katsurada

**Naosuke Katsurada** (桂田 直弼. *Katsurada Naosuke*) is a student who is best described by the following; stealthy and a thief. That is what can best constitute Naosuke Katsurada of Class 1-E located in Kunugigaoka Junior High School. Having a father who is an electrician, Naosuke Katsurada is best known throughout the school for helping the school when it comes to it's electrical generator. Unfortunately however, he would end up being on Class 1-E because of the numerous incidents of which Naosuke is framed for stealing one of the school's textbooks. Try as he might from proving his innocence, it all ends the same; his deportation to Class E. Now all alone, Naosuke would try any way to make it back on the school grounds, even trying his best to not steal anything, whether it be from the school or from another student, he would not attempt to do anything of the sort. Alas however, he realized that there's no future ahead for a "thief" like him, until an opportunity arose with the moon being destroyed and the appearance of a rather *particular* teacher named Korosensei. Now with all of Class E involved with the neutralization of this creature, Naosuke Katsurada would take it upon himself to become an electrician like his father, and he had already been Class 1-E's best when it comes to the technical "knowing-how" of electrical devices.
