Otohiko Meichi Gallery
Otohiko Meichi is one of the male students who currently attends Akademi.
Appearance[]
Otohiko has shoulder-length salmon-pink hair. He has a long bang coming down in the middle of his forehead, covering the space between his eyes. Another strand of hair sweeps to the left on the top of his head. His hair comes down to the side of his head and stops slightly above his ears. His eyes are bright peach.
He wears the default school uniform unless customized by the player.
Personality[]
A frail and sickly boy. Because of his poor health, he can often be found in the school infirmary. Usually oversleeps and arrives at school later than any other student. Sometimes ridiculed for his unusually feminine mannerisms. Known to be extraordinarily clumsy.
Otohiko hiding his face.
Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Otohiko is a Coward. If he sees a corpse, he will run away from school and call the Police. If he witnesses a murder, he will start begging for Ayano to spare his life in exchange for his silence; he will then run out of school, but he won't call the police. He will hide his face if Ayano aims her Phone at him. He cannot participate in physical fights against murderers.
YandereDev imagines one of the factors of his poor health being anemia, or a condition similar to the latter.[2]
Routine[]
Otohiko running.
At 7:55 AM, Otohiko enters the school grounds running, significantly later than other students, and trips at the school gate. In Mission Mode, after the Delinquents come to school, he will arrive at 7:04 AM. He runs to his locker at 8:00 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 8:00 AM, he walks to Classroom 1-1, sits at his desk and plays on his phone. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM.
He either leaves to go to the Infirmary to rest or the Rooftop to eat his lunch at 1:00 PM. He walks back to class at 1:30 PM.
He participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. At 4:00 PM, he heads to his locker, changes his shoes, then walks out of school.

Trivia[]
- He was implemented in the January 15th, 2019 Build.
- Otohiko Meichi is a legitimate Japanese name. Otohiko can have many meanings, but due to his personality, it may have been intended to be interpreted as ‘queer boy’ due to his feminine personality. Meichi is a surname which simply means ‘wisdom’, however, it may not be related to his character. YandereDev said that Otohiko is not gay.[2]
- Otohiko (spelled 音彦) is a Japanese name with 音 (oto) meaning "sound" combined with 彦 (hiko) meaning "boy, prince".[6]
- Meichi (spelled 明智 or 明知) is a Japanese surname with two similar meanings. Ultimately, it can be boiled down that the first letter of both surnames mean "bright, clear, and obvious", while the last two kanji letters have similar meanings of "wisdom, knowledge and understanding".[7]
- While he is on the ground from tripping, the player can choose to close the gates and crush his head.
- YandereDev says that closing the gate on his head to easily kill him may be a new elimination method for a rival, but currently is just an Easter Egg.[8]
- He's the only one who has a different running animation than all of the other male students.
- He's the only one who arrives at school much later than the rest of the students.
- He arrives at school at 7:55 AM, while the other students arrive at school at 7:00 AM.
