Naoya Teshigawara

Naoya Teshigawara is a student in Class 3-3 at Yomiyama North Middle School, known for his vibrant and sociable nature that keeps the classroom atmosphere lively. He was among the first friends that protagonist Kouichi Sakakibara made upon transferring to the school. A passionate sports enthusiast, Naoya places immense value on friendship above all else. While he often comes across as carefree and academically disengaged, the mounting threat of the class curse reveals a surprisingly sincere and headstrong side of him—one whose decisive actions become a pivotal turning point in the latter half of the story.
