Masakazu Tougou

Masakazu is 2D039s class representative who sees class 2C as rivals. Despite his obvious selfconfidence his character leads him to rejections from his classmates. Some people around him usually refer to him with an alternate nickname quotMacaroniquot probably because he likes to put Italian words in his sentences. He has a tendency to burst into extremely long inspirational speeches either involving 039facing challenges head on039 or 039how to be manly039. As the series progressed his selfconfidence and passion for facing challenges 039head on039 have become so extreme that his actions and ideas often border on sheerstupidity and often contain a startling lack of regard for the safety and wellbeing of others like when he said that they should just charge the ocean liner the students including himself were in straight into a giant reef instead of going around it because it was 039the manly thing to do039. His appearance is often followed by the US national anthem because he also has the tendency to subtly refer to himself as an American or at the very least hint that he has lived in the US when he was younger. He is a skilled sportsman and martial artist similar to his main rival Hanai in that he takes such things very seriously. Source: Wikipedia
