Takehito Morokuzu

諸葛 岳人

Takehito Morokuzu, nicknamed Gakuto, is a secondary protagonist of Prison School, and is one of the five first-year boys in attendance of all-girls school Hachimitsu Academy. His love interest is Mitsuko Yokoyama, the secretary of the Aboveground Student Council. Gakuto is tall and wiry (only shorter than Reiji Andou from the boys). He has black hair and black eyes due to his Japanese heritage. Gakuto is the only boy in the group to wear glasses and sports long locks until Volume 8, when he offers to have Meiko Shiraki (the USC Vice-President) shave them off his head. Thus, he is now a skinhead after his incarceration in the Prison Block. Gakuto is a calculating and intelligent person, though relatively lacking in his studies. He is thus the mastermind behind a lot of the organised breakouts in the prison along with Kiyoshi Fujino. Gakuto's plots also prevent the boys from being excluded several times. He is obsessed with the Three Kingdoms and is the smartest of the five. He is still one of the most lecherous of the five and shows 'otaku' habits in his behaviour, spending much time at the library when not imprisoned and going to great lengths inside it in order to get a collector figurine. Gakuto has an eclectic & archaic style of speech, punctuating his words with "indeed". He is a respectful person, referring to himself as "yours truly" and using the honorific "-dono" when referring to his friends. Gakuto is one of the most reliable characters in the series, sacrificing his long locks and dignity to prevent his friends from being harmed in any way.
