The first club president is a mysteriously quiet figure whose name is never revealed. He's known for moving through the college like he's barely there—eerily silent and impossible to notice, which particularly unnerves Saki. Despite seeming mostly harmless, he somehow knows way more about the school and its students than anyone should, though he insists he's not running hidden cameras or any other surveillance operation.
He's been leading Genshiken for longer than most members can remember, with evidence suggesting the role goes back to at least 1987. You'll often catch him standing on rooftops, staring down into the club room. Before stepping down to focus on his graduate thesis (presumably PhD work), he establishes what becomes the club's tradition: each president personally picks their successor.
Fans often note that the episode titles from his era—covering the first 12 episodes of the anime—read like case studies on his unsuspecting club members, a pattern that completely shifts once he's gone and the titles become much more straightforward.
