Nagito first comes off as a polite, friendly, and easygoing, yet somewhat insecure boy. Hajime even mentions that his bright smile is very comforting. He was the only one that stayed with him while he was unconscious, and expressed concern for his well-being, even after Hajime told him to go away. Although he claims to be a pessimist, Nagito often appears unusually carefree; he lacks tact and occasionally says awkward, strange, and unsettling things without realizing it. He idolises hope.
