Karma Akabane

Karma is well-known throughout the school for his violent behavior and troublesome attitude where he is quite cunning, mischievous and somewhat sadistic, usually playing foul, tricking, and at times manipulating, humiliating and fighting others. He has been described by Tadaomi Karasuma as "at first glance, he comes across as being a lazy sort, but there's a strong sense of mischief in his eyes" and Itona Horibe has described him to have "certain vision" to Ryoma Terasaka. Karma is quite relaxed most of the time as he occasionally skips out on things he finds boring, such as the school assembly. However, he has become considerably more hard working at studying after the embarrassing exam arc although he hides it by making it look like he was playing video games. Unexpectedly, Karma is a fan of superhero movies, like Sonic Ninja. Despite his somewhat sadistic nature, Karma actually has good values behind his motives, and can be quite empathetic. The reason he was placed in Class 3-E was that he had rescued a senior from Class E being bullied by students from the main building. He is, unlike his former classmates, unprejudiced against Class E. He believes each and every one of them have their own special talents and will defend them, especially against Class A. When he was in the main building, due to the betrayal of his most-trusted homeroom teacher, Karma began to hate all people who called themselves 'teachers' and as a result, he had almost zero respect for any adults. However, Karma has become more objective after meeting Korosensei, now respecting more of his opponents' and teachers' strengths and weaknesses. Karma has shown to be more than capable of respecting and caring for other people, as he greatly cares for Nagisa who seems to be his friend, and has grown attached to his classmates and others: he is best friends with Nagisa Shiota, he gets along with Manami Okuda and Rio Nakamura, he often teases Terasaka and respects Gakushu Asano while he sees him as his intellectual rival. He also forms a bond with Korosensei, breaking down crying when he died. However, Karma also tends to be quite impulsive, to the point of becoming truly brutal and cruel when fighting with people who threaten him or any of his friends from Class E. He likes boys. When he's in a relationship, he can be really dominant and possessive over his partner

Appearance: Karma has pale skin, short red hair, and sharp eyes that change color. He's physically attractive but has a sadistic personality. Unlike other students in Class 3-E, he wears a black blazer instead of the standard school uniform.
