Eguchi, Meijin
Meijin has a few amusing and distinct quirks. First, he refuses to have -san attached to the end of his name, a fact Netto constantly forgets. Consequently, whenever Netto calls out "Meijin-san!", Meijin invariably replies with "-san wa iranai!" ("no need for -san!"). Fansubs may translate this as "Formalities not needed!", which is also sensible. The -san suffix denotes respect for someone older. In Meijin's case, he wishes to avoid appearing "old".
In Axess, we discover that Meijin is also a dedicated collector of small toys, specifically mini cars. It is quite amusing to see Meijin foaming at the mouth alongside Netto when a new batch of mysterious toys arrives in a box at the store.
Finally, Beast reveals that Meijin does indeed have a "significant other"... or at least he used to. He remains quite friendly with his ex-girlfriend, Makoto Aoni, and as the series progresses, they end up working together more frequently. These two science geeks seem rather perfect for each other.
Meijin's name is a pun on the -real- Meijin, a game story developer for the EXE series. "Meijin" (meaning "Master" or "Expert" in Japanese) is merely his nickname; his real name is Masakazu Eguchi. Regardless, you will frequently see the "real" Meijin dressed in the current attire of the "character" Meijin at Japanese EXE events.
