Gakuho Asano

Gakuhō Asano (浅野 学峯, Asano Gakuhō) is the board chairman of Kunugigaoka Junior High School. He is the father of Student Council President Gakushū Asano.

Personality
It is noted that the board chairman is a shrewd administrator who made Kunigigaoka Junior High School the best in the nation within the 10 years since its founding. He was the one who created the Class E system, under the thought that having someone to discriminate makes one progress more.

His aim is to create a world where 95% of people work and 5% of people are lazy. With 95% of the school focused on not becoming that 5% (the 5% being Class E), the ratio is achieved. It appears that he has his priorities mixed up as he prioritizes the maintenance of this system of discrimination over the world's future.

The board chairman is a genius, he defeated a blackbelt in karate on his 3rd day learning karate. He was defeated on the first day, created a strategy on the second day, and defeated the instructor on the third day.

Gakushū Asano.
Gakushū is the chairman's son, and has been under the chairman's influence for the longest. Gakushū inherited Gakuho's ability to persuade others using just his voice. They both use knowledge to control people.

However, their relationship is rather strained, each trying to control the other. Gakushū intended to use his father as a pet of sorts, while Gakuho wanted to keep his son as a corporate slave.

Quotes

 * (To Akira Takaoka) "Once you lose to a brute force weaker than your own, your lessons are stripped of all persuasive power."
 * ( To himself) "I have always acted rationally. Whether for the management of the establishment or a murder, I like things to be logical and conform to reason."
