Nobuta Tanaka

Appearance
In contrast to the lanky Takada, Tanaka is thickly built with a round face. He has black spiked hair, narrow eyes, freckles on his face, and lightly tanned skin.

Personality
Just like Takada, he is very disrespectful to Class-E. He takes what he says very lightly, casually threatening to "kill" Nagisa without thinking of the implications of his words. However, he is also very cowardly, quickly running away from Nagisa after the later gives him a glimpse of his bloodlust.

Abilities
Aside from his consistent rudeness, Tanaka, like Takada, has no noteworthy characteristics nor abilities.

Nagisa Shiota
Although he and Nagisa used to be classmates in Class D, he consistently teases Nagisa for being in Class E. He also gets scared of Nagisa when he said that, 'he doesn't know what it feels to kill someone'.

Chousuke Takada
Tanaka appears along side Takada in every appearance he makes, indicating that they are very close. They are so close that they have no qualms holding each other or sharing a two-person bicycle.
