Tasuke Nekoma is a first-year student at Binan High School, serving as the secretary of the student council. As a member of the esteemed but impoverished Nekoma Baron family, he has a sharp wit and grand ambitions. Despite his noble lineage, the Nekoma household is known more for their struggling finances than for actual power or prestige, and they run the Nekoma Farm, where sweet potatoes are grown. Tasuke constantly schemes for a chance at an uprising, frequently exchanging biting words with the straightforward Samon Nyuutou—though his sarcasm often flies over Samon's head, leaving Tasuke frustrated. The higher social standing of fellow students Sutoreito Domeki and Samon Nyuutou is a sore spot for him. When the need arises, Tasuke transforms into the Machiavellian "Ball of Strategic Genius, Yasakani."
Tasuke hails from the Nekoma family, a noble lineage that has seen better days. Although he carries the title of baron, the family’s fortune has long since faded. Financial difficulties are met head-on by running the family’s potato farm, the Nekoma Farm, showing Tasuke’s adaptability despite his aristocratic upbringing.
Quick-thinking and always assessing the room, Tasuke is an excellent strategist. He secretly harbors dreams of turning the school’s social order on its head. His dialogue drips with sarcasm, especially directed at Samon Nyuutou, whose simple-mindedness renders him immune to Tasuke’s barbs—a source of regular annoyance for Tasuke.
One of his core insecurities is his perceived lower status compared to classmates like Sutoreito Domeki and Samon Nyuutou. This fuels his ambition and shapes much of his behavior.
Tasuke can transform into the "Ball of Strategic Genius, Yasakani," blending his sharp intellect with newfound powers. In this form, he’s poised to use both his brains and abilities to outthink any rival.
As the student council secretary, Tasuke handles official records, correspondence, and often acts as the behind-the-scenes planner. He excels in organization and plotting, making him vital to the council’s inner workings.
Sutoreito Domeki: Viewed as a rival, especially due to class differences.
Samon Nyuutou: Frequent target of Tasuke’s sarcasm. Their interactions are a classic case of wit versus naivety; Tasuke’s clever retorts are continually wasted on Samon.
Other student council members treat him as the brains of the operation, even if some find him a bit too shrewd at times.
