"I'm in despair!"
— Nozomu Itoshiki


Nozumu Itoshiki is the main protagonist of the mange-turned-anime Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Itoshiki is a high school teacher who, being severely fed up with life as it is, chose to follow the time-honored Japanese tradition of playing Sudoku. Or at least he tried to. Unfortunately for him, he is 'saved' (and only barely killed) by a pathologically upbeat student from his school. Even more unfortunately, she's both part of his home class, and one of the more reasonable specimen from said home class.

Much of the show's humor consequently derides from a) the stark contrast between the downtrodden Itoshiki and his cheerfully sociopathic students, and b) the fact aforementioned students do make the lyrics from the opening theme of M*A*S*H seem weirdly compelling. As a bonus, the show prides itself on oblique literature references, which the Western audience doesn't get and most of the Japanese audience doesn't get, either.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Nozumu Itoshiki fought in 8chanmania XL. The painfully obnoxious nature of the Adoring Fan so much reminded him of his own class that he briefly broke through his constant depression (and hospitalized his opponent), by when he ran into Sans, he had a bit of a bad time.
