Kousaka, Makoto

高坂真琴

Despite his unusual handsomeness and cuteness, Kousaka is actually one of the most hardcore otaku in Genshiken. He loves hentai games and is undefeated in video games, particularly the fighting genre. As Saki's boyfriend, Kousaka is largely responsible for teaching Saki patience when it comes to dating an otaku. Kousaka can be considered an exception to the rules of stereotypical otaku, as he is able to juggle fashion with an otaku lifestyle, though after getting a job programming for a porn game company, even Kousaka cannot completely keep up with such a hectic schedule.
Kousaka is easy-going and never loses his temper, a trait portrayed by the constant smile on his face. However, he can be rather forceful when the need arises, particularly when it comes to keeping Saki from avoiding her promises.
