About Tomohito Sugino
Tomohito Sugino is a baseball-loving student whose pitching dreams were crushed on the main campus, where his grades and his fastball both fell short. In 3-E, Koro-sensei analyses his form and rebuilds his delivery around his own body's strengths, turning Sugino's assassination training into a second chance at the sport he loves. Gentle and earnest, he also nurses a hopeless crush on Kanzaki.
Appearance
Sugino is an average-built teenager with short dark hair, usually seen in his school uniform or baseball gear. He has an earnest, open face and the easy posture of a sportsman. On the mound he comes alive: his whole story is written in his pitching form, which Koro-sensei analyses muscle by muscle to rebuild his delivery.
Personality
Sugino is gentle, earnest and a little insecure about his talent. Baseball was his dream and his identity on the main campus, and losing it hurt more than his grades did. He works hard without bitterness, supports his friends, and nurses a hopeless, obvious crush on Kanzaki that the whole class politely pretends not to notice.
Background & Story
Sugino was a promising baseball player whose grades and fastball both fell short on the main campus, landing him in Class 3-E. There, Koro-sensei studied his pitching form and showed him that copying a professional's delivery was holding him back, his own flexible body suited a different style entirely. Assassination training became Sugino's second chance at the sport he loves, and he remains one of the class's most dependable team players.
