Description:
Role - Arthur's teacher
Voice Range - Preferably Low with age. Sakutaro is an elderly man.
To summarize Nakada Sakutaro, he is a crotchety, hostile elderly man working as a teacher at Shujin Academy. He is the teacher to Arthur, Ichisake, and Makoto and is generally and openly hostile towards everyone and anyone. His toxicity, however, is due to his past experiences and own personal trauma. Having been a conscripted young Japanese soldier in World War 2, he had seen some terrifying sights - such as hand-to-hand bayonet combat with American Marines, war crimes, torture, blood, gore, and explosions - and even killed quite a few Marines. These Marines, their faces a sight he remembers every time he closes his eyes, are the main factors towards his toxicity.
However, he sympathizes with Arthur, if only secretly, with the plight he suffers with rumors and hate. Having been an accomplice to many war crimes, he keeps his Imperial service a secret in fear of retribution from the new generations he lives amongst.
In attempt to cope with his trauma, pain, and the crimes he committed, he often visits the local Christian church - where both his Christian comrades and enemies were buried - to atone and pay his respects and even began worshiping Confucianism over Shintoism to try and find peace in the battleground that is his mind.
