Satoshi

"'I never make mistakes.' — Toshi"Satoshi Nakashima (中島慧, Nakajima Satoshi), often known as Toshi (トシ, Toshii), is a gifted second-year student and lead tutor of the DREAM program. His central love interest is Setsuna.

Appearance
Toshi is of a medium height and build. He has light brown hair which has a middle part and a cowlick on the top of his head. His eyes are dark brown.

Toshi almost always wears the following pieces of the Shujinko boys’ uniform: shirt, vest, tie, tie-clip, and pants. He generally prefers collared shirts, pullovers, and flannel as casual wear.

Abilities
Toshi has the ability of enhanced intelligence, which he likens to “having very large databases in [his] brain.” His ability allows him to analyze possible outcome of any given simulation in mere seconds, which in turn allows him to make educated guesses. Some applications of his ability include detail memorization, finishing other characters’ sentences, and movement prediction.

Toshi is also able to invent or otherwise create devices that can assist his peers. He designed a pen that expands into a pointed sword, which Shun often uses in sudden combat. Toshi himself has low defence and cannot fight.

Personality
Even though he seems to know everything that there is to know, Satoshi has no sense of humour. He is generally a serious person and only smiles when he feels the need to do so, rather than unconsciously. He shrugs off most jokes and teasing, though he gets scared when threatened. Many would consider him intelligent and studious, while others may regard him as apathetic.

Satoshi becomes more animated as his character develops, showing expressions of worry, fear, genuine happiness, and even embarrassment. The cause of his expressive growth may be due to his interactions with the emotionally-fueled Setsuko.

Relationships
Satoshi considers Shun to be his closest friend, since they have known each other for years before entering high school together. As co-tutors, Satoshi confides in him with business matters as well as personal issues, all while allowing Shun to tease him in return for his company. Since he is unable to protect himself, Satoshi relies heavily on Shun for protection and often sticks to his side during their free time. The two share a bantering friendship with slightly homosexual undertones.

Satoshi's interest in Setsuko is not piqued until after he learns of her unrequited love for him. As a man with few raw emotions, being witness to Setsuko's expressive nature prompted Satoshi to learn more about what it means to be in love. He would later return her feelings, although a bit clumsily. In response, he would ignite the wrath of Michiko, who acts as his opponent for Setsuko's affections.

Although he gets along fine with the other characters of the main cast, for some reason or another he becomes a target of Rin, who enjoys bullying him senseless. In fear of his life, he's forced to call her either 'Harada-sama' or 'Rin-sama'.

Backstory
Satoshi's beginnings are a bit vague if not known at all, but it's been said that his family moved from Nagasaki to Kobe shortly after he was born. He entered Shujinko on a full ride scholarship, thanks to his consistently high grades. He began training under the DREAM program sometime in middle school and became a tutor during his freshman year, alongside Shun.
