The Ultimate Entomologist. Gonta likes animals very much, especially insects, and he can even speak with them. He is a kind-hearted, gentle, and polite person. He is very pure and naive, as he easily believes strangers and can get easily discouraged by other people's comments. To repay his woodland family, he aims to become a true gentleman. Gonta wants to be useful to others, but he prefers not to do physical fighting and violence. He also gets very ashamed of himself if he does something a gentleman wouldn't do, like telling lies, losing his temper, making rude assumptions, seeing someone naked or half-naked, or accidentally touching someone inappropriately. It's noted that he isn't very gentlemanly yet, as he's a bit clumsy and sometimes gets controlled by sudden and strong emotions (which is implied to be a result of being raised in the wild), but he tries very hard. He occasionally gets very scary with intense expressions, especially when talking about bugs or if he is otherwise upset or frustrated, making other people afraid. Because he spent his childhood in the forest, Gonta is lacking general cultural knowledge and in the English version even has trouble with language, so he often has trouble speaking with the other students. This is made worse by his intimidating appearance, which made him somewhat of an outcast even when he was a very young kid. Because of this, he doesn't like to start conversations, and he is shown to be very grateful whenever someone else approaches him. He is very protective towards his friends during the Killing Game, promising to protect them from any harm caused by the Killing Game. He states that to fulfill that goal, he will go as far as to risk his own life.
