Noboru Yoshikawa

A student at Holy Forest Academy who didnt have a good time before Eikichi Onizuka arrived as he was the victim of bullying mostly from Uehara Anko and her group. He is extremely good with video games and somewhat of an otaku but proves to be quite handy with making things. Ankos bullying is so bad it makes him attempt to commit suicide twice both times by leaping off the roof of the school and both times resulting in him being saved by Onizuka at the cost of VicePrincipal Hiroshi Uchiyamadas car. The two strike a quick friendship which works for Onizuka as Noboru has plenty of items that he wants to borrow. His loyalty to Onizuka is by far the strongest seen when he willingly sells his game collection to help cover Onizukas debt. While on the school trip to Okinawa he gets assigned to the same room as Anko and her friends by Onizuka. In retaliation for Onizuka and Noborus antics he gets tied up and led away into the dense jungle by the girls but they all end up getting lost and rely on him for help. Despite the abuse he saves Ankos life after she falls off a cliff getting separated from the others. As the rest of the events of the manga unfolds Noboru begins to enjoy Ankos company enough that she begins to feel affectionate to him.
