Kazuma Satou

Kazuma Satou (Japanese: 佐藤 和真, Hepburn: Satō Kazuma; also spelt Kazuma Sato), known mononymously as Kazuma (カズマ) is the main protagonist of the light novel, manga and anime series KonoSuba, created by Natsume Akatsuki. He is voiced by Jun Fukushima in Japan and by Arnie Pantoja in English-speaking regions. He was a shut-in NEET until his untimely death and reincarnation into an RPG-esque fantasy world, where he becomes an adventurer and forms his own dysfunctional party. Initially shown to be cynical and sarcastic, he can show selflessness and compassion towards his friends and competence as a leader. His main goals are to defeat the demon king and his generals, to return to Japan, and to realize the aspects of his new life.

Kazuma has generally received positive reception for his unique traits and as a deconstruction of the isekai protagonist trope, being known as one of the best isekai protagonists. His dry sense of humour and ad-libs done by Jun Fukushima are widely praised. Contrarily, he has also received some criticisms for some of his character traits and personality, especially his acts of perversion.
