Nagisa Shiota is the main protagonist of Yuusei Matsui's manga and anime series Assassination Classroom.
Nagisa is perhaps best known for his feminine-looking face, hairstyle, and physique, making him an example of a trap character. His appearance has caused other characters to mistake him for a girl, which is best shown during a hot springs scene where he is shown bathing bare-chested to the shock of several classmates. Nagisa is also notable for a scene where he wore a dress, skirt, and black thigh-highs as a disguise in order to fool targets.
The assassin is a regular in the International Saimoe League, debuting in the 2016 edition. His best year came in 2018, one year after his teacher won the tournament, as he won the emerald pendant with three rounds to spare and reached the quarter-finals of the playoffs bracket. Throughout his ISML career, Nagisa has been grouped together with his classmate Karma Akabane several times.

Many people believe that to be a good assassin, one has to be physically unbeatable. Some even think that a good assassin is one who can close their heart and feel nothing towards the act of killing. However, perhaps the most important aspect of being an assassin is the ability to hide one’s bloodlust and intentions behind an innocent smile. Shiota Nagisa at first glance doesn’t seem to be anything more than an ordinary school boy. His short stature and feminine appearance makes him an easy target for bullies of other classes; even being teased by his own classmates. He is a soft-spoken, quiet and well-mannered student who doesn’t stand out much in the way of grades or athletics. Overall, he is perhaps the most underwhelming and average person imaginable. However, beneath his gentle personality, hides the viciousness of a viper. His intent to kill and aura of bloodlust is incomparable; as is his ability to strike his opponents without even allowing them time to react. Above all, his greatest talent lies in his smile as he approaches his target. His smile is one of perfect serenity, gentleness and even kindness. That smile, however, could potentially be the last thing one would see before death. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Nagisa had the potential to be the best assassin in the world. Even so, he shall continue his average school life with his friends until it is time for him to strike. | |||||||||||||||||||
