Description
Tsuyoshi Nakanojou, a 15-year-old Tokisadame High School student, sports a vivid yellow mohawk naturally growing only from the center of his scalp—a genetic quirk inherited from his father. Though his spiked hair and delinquent-like appearance suggest intimidation, he displays a soft-spoken, compassionate demeanor, frequently tending to flowers or addressing others with polite honorifics. His steadfast rationalism fuels a tireless quest to debunk supernatural claims, exemplified by his climb to a mountain summit to confront a self-proclaimed medium. Discovering the medium’s reliance on mundane gadgets, he solidifies his skepticism, dismissing paranormal explanations through methodical scrutiny.
The mohawk’s resilience becomes a running motif, especially during clashes with Kana Nakamura, an eccentric science teacher whose botched experiments targeting the android Nano often ensnare Tsuyoshi. One mishap traps him in a pit of adhesive meant for Nano, prompting Nakamura to hastily shave his signature hairstyle. Temporary baldness follows until the school principal mistakenly administers a potent hair-growth formula, triggering chaotic regrowth. The mohawk eventually resurfaces intact, emphasizing its unyielding connection to his lineage.
Tsuyoshi navigates friendships and misunderstandings with equal earnestness. He bonds with Tanaka, a peer sporting equally unconventional hair, while a misread love letter leads him to mistakenly assume romantic interest from Haruna Annaka. These interactions reveal his social naivety, contrasting his sharp scientific curiosity. Aspiring to become a researcher, he approaches life with analytical rigor, though Nakamura’s malfunctioning inventions—like a device electrocuting him mid-investigation—frequently undermine his seriousness with slapstick outcomes.
Consistently portrayed as kindhearted and intellectually driven, Tsuyoshi’s mohawk doubles as a familial emblem and comedic fixture. His unintended role as collateral damage in Nakamura’s chaotic schemes injects absurdity into the narrative, while his grounded reactions to surreal events highlight a personality both pragmatic and endearingly oblivious.
