Tomoya Aki is the main protagonist of the [Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata](https://anilist.co/anime/20657/Saenai-Heroine-no-Sodatekata/) series. Tomoya is described as a 'hardcore geek'. However, he is one of the three most notable students at Toyogasaki Academy, along with [Utaha Kasumigaoka](https://anilist.co/character/88750/Utaha-Kasumigaoka) and [Eriri Spencer Sawamura](https://anilist.co/character/88749/Eriri-Spencer-Sawamura), due to his strong advocating of otaku culture at the school.
_Appearance:_ Tomoya is a teenage otaku boy with straight black hair that covers his forehead and light blue eyes. He almost always wears glasses and he is shown either wearing his school uniform or his casual clothes. He also sometimes wears contacts, but prefers to wear glasses (especially the pair given to him as a gift by [Megumi](https://anilist.co/character/88748/Megumi-Katou)). However, he starts to wear contacts regularly after [Megumi](https://anilist.co/character/88748/Megumi-Katou) "mocked" his new glasses, ironic as she was the one who gave them to Tomoya.
_Personality:_ Tomoya is described as an otaku and prefers reading comics and light novels, watching anime, and playing visual novels above anything else. He is an enthusiastic fan of [Utaha](https://anilist.co/character/88750/Utaha-Kasumigaoka)'s novel Koisuru Metronome. He is the founder and representative member of Blessing Software, serving as the producer, director and programmer. He is also the manager of [Michiru](https://anilist.co/character/88752/Michiru-Hyoudou)'s cover band "Icy Tail". When motivated, especially by otaku-related factors, he can be shown to be very hardworking. After his encounter with [Megumi Kato](https://anilist.co/character/88748/Megumi-Katou), his strong desire to make his dream game drives him to take up several jobs for funding. He is extremely tenacious and would do anything to get what he wants, but is easily distracted. He was a typical consumer otaku who would spend the money at his part-time job on anime and games, but his money and time are later devoted to his own games. He is very friendly despite his eccentric personality, and he has a strong sense of morals and conviction when dealing with others.
