Hidenori Tabata

Hidenori Tabata may look like your typical bespectacled, bookish second-year student at Sanada North High School, but beneath that composed exterior lies a mind brimming with bizarre, unpredictable ideas. As the undisputed ringleader of his trio, he has a gift for transforming mundane moments into elaborate improvisational scenarios that drag his friends along for the ride. Hypersensitive to social atmosphere yet perpetually prone to misreading it, his most iconic moment remains the hilariously awkward riverside encounter with the so-called 'literary girl' at sunset. The glaring contrast between his intellectual appearance and his outrageous antics is precisely what makes him the comedic heart of the series.
