Genshiken

斑目晴信

Harunobu Madarame is the most hardcore otaku of the Genshiken members. He carries his obsessions to an almost dangerous degree, and will spend nearly all of his money on dōjinshi, which leaves little money for food or other living expenses. He becomes acting President of the club after being appointed by the First President. In his senior year, he passes down his leadership to Kanji Sasahara as he looks for a job.

原口

Haraguchi is a student at Shiou University and semi-antagonist of the Genshiken series. He's a self-proclaimed member of Genshiken, though he's never really around the club unless it's to coerce people to join his circle or to taunt Genshiken members. Due to his activities and general demeanor, he's received a bad reputation around school as well as manga artists in general. He is nicknamed "Haraguro" by those that have worked with him.
