Mitsuo

Mitsuo (ミツオ, Mitsuo) is a second-year student at Sanada North High and a member of Class 2-A. He dreams of becoming an amateur football player, but ends up becoming a rugby starter instead. He is well-known in the series for having really bad luck.

History
In junior school, Mitsuo was extremely gullible and believed in many outlandish things. As a result, he became the subject of various notable incidents that are still laughed about even when the boys are in high school. For example, Motoharu once switched his shoes with a girl's as a prank, but the two of them graduated elementary school without ever realizing it.

Appearance
Mitsuo is of an average height and build. He has messy dark brown hair and brown eyes, and is usually seen in the North High uniform.

Personality
Mitsuo is a kind-hearted boy. Despite the fact that others usually have fun at his expense (including being insulted even when he is around at the moment), he is of a gentle disposition. He is shown to get scared (especially of cockroaches) rather easily and is sometimes overly dramatic.

He usually has very bad luck. As an example, he bravely jumped into a river, intending to save a floating cat in a box, only to find a stuffed cat inside.

Abilities
Mitsuo is fairly physically capable. He knocks down Motoharu by accurately and forcefully throwing a marble at him from several metres away. He also stands his ground and takes on Yoshitake (of noted athletic prowess) and four others when they ambush him together.

Trivia
