Personality

Okajima is the class's resident lecher and makes no secret of it. He shares a fondness for peeping with Rio Nakamura, buries himself in adult magazines, and once joked about being kin to Korosensei and Itona over the habit. Come summer he fixates on the girls' exposed skin, at one point stripping down and charging at them during a vacation.

His interests color his friendships. He forms a close trio with Koki Mimura and Sugaya, forever badgering Mimura to cut him an erotic film and forever being refused, and he pairs naturally with the gossip-loving Hiroto Maehara to fuel much of the class's idle chatter. He nurses a crush on Rinka Hayami, whom he pegs as a tsundere, and finds a rare unbothered listener in Hinano Kurahashi, who tunes out his rambling with complete indifference.

Abilities

For all the sleaze, his camera skills carry real value. His eye for photography lets him exploit security cameras during assassinations, notably against The Reaper, and he ties for fourth in the class in early knife training. His stated ambition is to make a career of photography once school is behind him.
