An older male teacher at Futatsubashi Elementary School. Oyajima is the only one of the four main teachers shown in the series with children, specifically a daughter. He has an easygoing outlook on life and teaching, and he frequently dispenses advice and words of wisdom to his younger, more easily excitable work colleagues. Rarely flustered, he is the senior of Sae Shirai and has a visible soft spot for her. He often offers insight to Hōin concerning their mutual colleague's behavior, background, and mindset in his usual, laidback style, without coming off as defensive or biased. His good working relationship with Shirai also allows him to present her with alternative points of view or make thought-provoking observational comments in a gentle, nonconfrontational manner, without either one of them getting worked up in the process.
