Kotani is a classmate of Shinichi's who was also interested in Satomi and tried to beat him up.
Appearance[]
Kotani is an average-sized young man with a round face, black hair and thick eyebrows. He was seen wearing the school's standard gym uniform.
Personality[]
Kotani was jealous of Shinichi when Satomi, the girl he "has his eyes on", began cheering him on. He was quick to resort to violence and insults, but became cowardly when Migi struck him back.
Plot[]
During a basketball game in gym class, Kotani notices Shinichi getting praise from Satomi, which makes him jealous and he deliberately steps on Shinichi's shoes. After the game he approaches Shinichi and tells him to back off of Satomi since he likes her. As Shinchi brushes him off and tries to walk away, Kotani start punching Shinichi. Trying to refrain from fighting so that Migi stays asleep, Shinichi tries to talk him down. Kotani is then struck in the face by Migi and is laid out. When Shinichi asks if he's okay, Kotani quickly surrenders and frantically runs away.
When asked if he'd been spotted, Migi stated that Kotani just couldn't handle pain.
Trivia[]
- He is completely omitted from the Parasyte -the maxim- anime series, but his actions towards Shinichi are given to another character called Kazuki Nagai.
- In the Tokyopop westernized release Kotani is renamed "Frank".
