Kotaro Takebayashi

Kōtarō Takebayashi (竹林 孝太郎, Takebayashi Kōtarō) is a student in class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, taught by Korosensei.

Appearance
Takebayashi has black hair combed over along the sides of his head and wears round eyeglasses. His uniform consists of a suit jacket worn over a dress shirt and a black tie, as well as dress pants and dress shoes.

Personality
Takebayashi is mostly a quiet person. However, he seems somewhat eccentric in his behavior and stands out as the oddball in the class. He also seems to be clumsy at physical activity, having ping pong balls hit his glasses while playing with others and nearly losing balance in one of Tadaomi Karasuma's lessons.

Abilities
During the Class-E’s baseball practice, Takebayashi has been assigned to gather data on the team’s performance. He has shown to have quite good observational skills like Shiota, but, unlike the latter, Takebayashi is inclined to statistical data and analysis.



Trivia

 * Takebayashi is one of only two students in the class who wears glasses, the other being Manami Okuda.
