OVA
Description
Taizō Motemitsu appears as a recurring minor character throughout the series, consistently enrolled at Sainan High School. He possesses short spiky dark yellow hair that lightens and lengthens slightly in later arcs, coupled with grey eyes. Tall and good-looking, he frequently wears his baseball uniform as a star player on the school team.
His defining trait is an unwavering yet perpetually unsuccessful pursuit of female students, particularly new or attractive classmates. He projects confidence during bold flirtatious advances but suffers immediate, consistent rejection, plunging into visible depression after each rebuff. This pattern includes perverted tendencies, exemplified by a two-week suspension for attempting covert photography of girls at the school pool—a scheme thwarted by Rito Yuuki, who mistook him for one of Lala Deviluke's alien suitors.
Key appearances include his Chapter 5 invitation to Lala, instantly rejected. In Chapter 35, his advances toward Golden Darkness (Yami) result in her cutting his hair, forcing him to conceal his baldness with a ski mask thereafter. During OVA 1, he flirts with Rito Yuuki's female alter-ego, Riko Yuusaki, unaware of her true identity.
His role remains comedic, often flanked by two followers who loudly applaud his flirtatious efforts and ironically celebrate his failures, heightening the humor. These romantic pursuits recur as gags without successful outcomes.
He maintains the "Mote Note," parodying the "Death Note," with rules demanding obsessive attention to female students' faces over intellect, strict ownership, and supernatural penalties for misuse or page removal—reinforcing his delusional self-image.
In "To Love-Ru Darkness," he appears sporadically, requesting Kyouko Kirisaki's autograph in Chapter 28 and featuring in Chapter 75. His character undergoes no substantial development or background expansion across the series, OVAs, or spin-offs. Details about his family, exact age beyond being a second-year (17) and later third-year (18) student, birthday, height, weight, or significant relationships remain undisclosed.
