Profile
Contrary to his current appearance, Seiya is an otaku in the genuine sense; maybe using a title like "Otaku God" to define him will be somewhat more accurate. He is the most interested in pursuing the truth of the ACG way, dipping into areas spanning anime, games, and manga. To outsiders his time apparently looks to be inexhaustible no matter what, in yet contrast that unfading research spirit of his, as a university teacher he basically gives free reigns to his students. Although Seiya gives very little guidance to those of his own students that are slacking, he very much likes to lecture others in his own areas of expertise. While considering it necessary for himself to correct the current atmosphere and bring the true otaku spirit back to the right track, he consequently chose to debut. 与现充的外表截然相反，星也是个真正意义上的御宅族，或许用“御宅族之神”这样的称号来定义他会更加真切一些. 他醉心于追寻ACG之道的真理，涉猎区域横跨动漫、游戏、漫画，在旁人看来他的时间仿佛怎么样也用不完，可与他那永不磨灭的钻研精神相反，身为大学教师的他却基本对学生放任自流. 虽说星也对自己那些摸鱼学生崽们指导甚少，但他却在自己擅长的方面极其好为人师，并认为自己有必要纠正现在的风气，将真正的御宅精神带回正轨，因此选择了出道.
