Taiga Okajima (
Appearance
Okajima has short, black hair in a butch cut and thicker brows compared to other students.
Seven years after graduation, he is seen with slightly longer hair.
Personality
Okajima is the class pervert and is rather open about it. As with Rio Nakamura, Okajima is known to like peeping. He likes to read erotica magazines and even claimed to be a brother of Korosensei and Itona Horibe for doing so. At the start of July, he enjoys looking at the girls' more exposed skin, even going nude and running to them when they were at their vacation.
Abilities
Photography: Okajima has a keen sense of photography (which he uses to take pictures of girls). In assassination, this reflects on his ability to exploit security cameras, notably against The Reaper.
Knifework: Okajima was scored joint 4th in the class (along with Hinata Okano, Megu Kataoka and Masayoshi Kimura) for knife training from April to June.
Relationships
Koki Mimura
Okajima and Mimura are often seen together and are considered close friends, frequently forming a trio with Sugaya. Okajima admires Mimura’s skill in film editing, though his repeated requests for an erotic film are consistently turned down for being too sleazy.
Hiroto Maehara
From Okajima’s perspective, Maehara is the classmate who matches his enthusiasm for gossip the most. Together, the two often end up sparking much of the class’s light-hearted gossip, with Maehara’s extensive dating experience and Okajima’s love of rumors making them a notably frivolous pair.
Rio Nakamura
From Okajima’s perspective, Nakamura can be a mixed presence. On one hand, she often fails to understand the appeal of his perverted interests, which he finds frustrating. On the other hand, her comfort around boys and lack of embarrassment toward dirty jokes sometimes leads her to join in, occasionally making their exchanges even sleazier.
Hinano Kurahashi
Okajima believes her interest in biology might make her more tolerant toward him, and her ability to ignore things allows her to listen to his perverted rambling with complete indifference. She can handle sleazy talk casually, and the two do converse from time to time. To Okajima, she stands out as a rare girl who isn’t immediately put off by him, though there are no feelings between them beyond that.
During the Assassination Test of Courage, Korosensei paired Okajima with Hinano.
