Hirata

Biodata

Personality

Hirata is cheerful, energetic, and consistently considerate of others. During the class introductions, he responds warmly to both Ayanokoji and Konoe when their introductions receive little reaction, helping diffuse the awkwardness. 2

He places Class D's collective welfare above his own convenience. After learning that the school may evaluate students by class, he questions Chabashira directly, explains the potential danger to his classmates, and repeatedly asks them to improve their discipline. 7 8 Even after many students dismiss his concerns or leave his meetings, he continues trying to unite them. 8 9

His concern can make him persistent: he repeatedly approaches Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi despite their resistance, and later organizes a study group so no classmate fails the midterms. 14 20 He also worries that Horikita's isolation could lead to her being bullied and asks Ayanokoji to help her connect with the class. 13

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Class D Organization

After Konoe shares his suspicions about a hidden assessment, Hirata agrees to raise the matter with Chabashira and explain the risks to Class D. 7 He asks whether the class is being examined and whether monthly point distributions depend on student evaluations, then encourages collective discipline when Chabashira refuses to answer. 8

His efforts gain partial results: although he cannot fully unite Class D, many students become more restrained in their behavior. 9 The class nevertheless receives only 11,000 monthly points, and Hirata is especially discouraged by the failure of his attempts to protect their standing. 16

Midterm Preparation

Following the revelation that failing students risk expulsion, Hirata helps drive Class D's response. He discusses strategies to recover Class Points, invites Konoe to contribute ideas, and establishes study sessions for students in danger of failing. 17 20

Hirata's group becomes part of the broader tutoring effort that prepares Class D for the midterms. He continues coordinating sessions and promptly spreads crucial information about the altered exam scope before the test. 26 34
