Voiced by: Kōdai Sakai[1]

A teacher who loves gal games. He dreams of being in a harem surrounded by many girls, just like in games. However, he has never been able to get a girlfriend, so those dreams of a harem are still just dreams. Because he is a descendant of the historical Oda Nobunaga with a similar-sounding name (written with different kanji characters), his students call him "Mr. Nobunaga", though it is said that it could be his reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga himself because of the similarity they have.
