Summary
Sotomura Hideo is a student in Class 1-D who occupies the leftmost seat in the third row, positioned behind Yousuke Hirata. He is a teenage boy of average height with spiky black hair, green eyes, and glasses. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji describes him as somewhat chubby. While he typically wears the standard school uniform, he donned a brown trench coat while supervising the Argos Team’s operation to spy on the girls' changing room. Like all other first-years, he wore the red tracksuit during the island test. Hideo tends to blend into the background, often overlooked during the main events unfolding in Class 1-D. However, he recognizes the value of assisting the Argos Team with their missions. In nature, he is an otaku who frequently employs archaic Japanese when speaking with his classmates. His daily information gathering covers a wide range of interests, including bishoujo games, manga, and animation. During the Mixed Training Camp special exam, a Zazen instructor noted that his dialect was "ridiculous," prompting him to alter his speech patterns to be more socially acceptable.
