Description
Ikuto Sarashina, often called Ikkun by his friends, is a student at Seika High School and a member of a group known as the Three Idiots. He is 16 years old for the majority of the series and stands at 178 centimeters tall with a slim build, weighing approximately 58 kilograms. He has short, dark blue hair, which is noted for being very silky, and his birthday is on December 24. His blood type is A.
At the beginning of the story, Ikuto, alongside his friends Naoya Shirakawa and Ryuunosuke Kurosaki, initially dislikes Misaki Ayuzawa due to her strict and forceful methods as the student council president, and he participates in harassing her. This behavior changes completely after the trio discovers Misaki works part-time at a maid cafe called Maid Latte. Upon seeing her there, they quickly become her biggest fans and regular customers at the cafe.
Beneath his外表 as a typical high school student, Ikuto is a secret otaku. He is passionate about manga and enjoys playing romance simulation games on the computer. These are interests he initially feels ashamed of and tries to hide from others. His dream is to become a professional mangaka, or manga artist, and he is a talented illustrator. He puts his artistic skills to use by helping to create merchandise and fan goods for the Maid Latte cafe. He is also skilled at playing arcade crane games. In the future, ten years after the main events of the series, he is shown to be working as an illustrator for a popular doujin circle.
Ikuto has a keen eye for detail, as he is the only member of the Three Idiots who did not attend Seisen Middle School. This leads him to be initially skeptical when he hears stories about Naoya Shirakawa's past as a legendary delinquent. His role in the story is primarily as a supporting character and a source of comic relief, often appearing with his two friends in their shared admiration for Misaki. Another notable aspect of his character is his fandom of Aoi Hyoudou, an internet idol.
An interesting piece of trivia about the character is that he was originally introduced without a name and was simply called B. The name Sarashina was later chosen for him through a reader-led project, inspired by the silky texture of his hair. Due to reader requests for more information, his official character profile was rewritten and expanded in the sixth volume of the manga. He also placed tenth in an official character popularity poll.
