Kanzaki

Biodata

Background / History

Kanzaki first distinguishes himself by repeatedly pressing homeroom teacher Hoshinomiya Chie to explain the school’s rules and the conditions attached to the initial 100,000 Private Points. He is dissatisfied with vague assurances and treats the school’s generosity as a practical issue requiring clarification. 2

During Class B’s debate over purchasing hidden rule information, Kanzaki recommends hearing Miyama Saku’s opinion because of Miyama’s earlier observations. He later approaches Miyama directly, properly introduces himself after being corrected, and carries Miyama’s large grocery haul in exchange for a private discussion. Kanzaki initially supports buying information, believing that advance knowledge would give Class B an advantage; Miyama’s analysis of the campus free-goods system convinces him that conserving points may be the wiser course. 3

He continues questioning Miyama about evaluation standards and the point system, gradually becoming a regular lunch companion. Their discussions lead Kanzaki to calculate the cost of daily living, identify the significance of the cafeteria’s free-meal counter, and reassess the risks of relying on apparent generosity. 5 6 13 When Class B’s monthly allowance falls to 76,000 points, he directly challenges Miyama’s indifference, remaining attentive to the class’s financial situation. 15

Personality

Kanzaki is serious, disciplined, and practical. He dislikes being left without essential information, repeatedly challenges evasive explanations, and approaches the school’s systems as problems that must be understood rather than ignored. 2 5

Though initially firm in his belief that information should be purchased, he is receptive to evidence. He accepts Miyama’s criticism without resentment, considers alternative explanations, and changes his assessment once the implications of the free-goods system are pointed out. 3 6
