Madarame, Harunobu
斑目 晴信
He is a Gundam fan and arguably the most hardcore otaku among all members of Genshiken. Madarame buys dōjinshi without checking price tags, a habit that occasionally leaves him with very little spending money for basic necessities such as food (his preferred sushi is bacon sushi topped with mayonnaise, costing a cheap 50 yen per piece).
Madarame takes pride in everything he purchases. The otaku quiz section of the Official Genshiken Data Book refers to the highest level of otaku as "Madarame."
Spoiler
Madarame's loud and adamant support of his own otaku lifestyle initially makes him Saki's nemesis in Genshiken, but as Madarame develops a crush on Saki it heavily influences his interactions with her. However, even after graduating and getting job at Sakura Pipe Repair thanks to his "computer literacy" (i.e. experience with porn games) Madarame never admits his feelings to Saki as he does not want to risk ruining their friendship.
In the relaunch of the manga, Madarame still drops by the Genshiken clubroom for lunch. In order to help the crossdressing Hato be able to come to the clubroom as a girl while attending classes as a male, Madarame agrees to allow Hato use his apartment to change since it is very close to the school.
