Professor is the leader of the Library clan in Shangri-La Frontier. He plays as a cute magical girl avatar with pink twin tails, but in real life, he is a 64-year-old male university professor, creating a huge gap between his appearance and his real voice. His avatar was made by his wife, who is also a gamer. Professor is famous for his deep knowledge and love for complex game worlds, and he often makes players laugh with his unique style and unforgettable in-game presence.
Professor uses an avatar that looks like a beautiful young magical girl with pink twin tails.
His real self is a 64-year-old man.
He stands at 168 cm tall and weighs 56 kg.
His birthday is June 5.
Because of his real-world habit of slouching, his already short avatar looks even smaller.
Professor is calm, extremely knowledgeable, and very curious about unknown things.
He is not fussy about appearances and never seems embarrassed by the huge gap between his avatar and real self.
He’s skilled at remembering facts, especially historical eras.
He dislikes games with shallow stories, instead loving worlds packed with lore and mystery.
In real life, Professor is a respected university professor in the field of archaeology.
He’s disappointed that most mysteries of Earth have been solved and finds studying the universe a bit early for his generation.
His wife introduced him to Shangri-La Frontier, and he quickly became obsessed with the game’s vast lore and detail.
His wife is also a gamer, playing with the name Massive Dynamite and choosing a tough, muscular male avatar.
Professor leads the Library clan, known for its high academic standards, with all members coming from elite universities.
Professor’s main job in the game is the Sage, which is the highest-tier magic user.
His sub-job is Librarian.
In battle, he specializes in supporting his teammates from the backline, casting powerful buffs.
He excels at negotiating with other players.
His Mysticism (Arcanum) is "Magician," which greatly boosts his magic power but locks him in place while casting, making him vulnerable to interruptions.
His wife, Sakura Rindo, plays the game as Massive Dynamite and is a member of the Black Wolf clan led by Psyger-100.
The Library and Black Wolf clans get along well and sometimes work together.
Professor’s avatar was actually designed by his wife, following her own recipe!
He is known for being a legendary academic in the game and real life.
It’s said that you should never try to show off your academic background in front of Library members—because they will always outmatch you!
He is voiced by Joji Nakata, who has played characters with similar comedy effects in animation before. When he talks, many viewers can’t help but burst out laughing.
“The equipment available from a rare traveling merchant in Third Lemma, yes, the ‘Festival Attire: Vanquisher’s Long Hood.’ There’s a rumor that one of the three players who defeated Wethermon the Tombguard owned it. If you want to know, Sunraku is the name of that player, who usually likes ‘Bird Mask of Gaze.’”
“Oh my, I never imagined I’d get invited the same day I sent a friend request. That made me dash at full speed even at my age!”
First Appearance and Waking Up
Professor’s name appears when players defeat Wethermon the Tombguard.
At the time, he was asleep in real life, so his wife rushed to wake him up.
Meeting Sunraku
Later, in Eidolt, Professor meets Sunraku.
He asks Sunraku to be friends because he’s searching for information about mysterious unique monsters, hoping this will help break through a wall in his own research.
Sunraku agrees, thinking it might help him with his own unique scenario quests.
Negotiations and the Book of Truth
Professor takes part in a meeting with the clans Traveling Wolves and Black Wolf, plus SF-Zoo.
There, Arthur Pencilgon sells him an overpriced “Book of Truth: Tombguard Edition.”
Though Sunraku says the book is basically just a designer’s note without much long-term value, Professor treasures it due to his love for game lore.
Ongoing Lore Hunts
Professor continues to get drawn into deep lore investigations and sometimes gets tricked by Arthur Pencilgon, but he enjoys these challenges, showing his love for mysteries and knowledge.
