Rintaro Okabe

Rintarō Okabe (岡部倫太郎, Okabe Rintarō) is a self-proclaimed mad scientist and the main protagonist of Steins;Gate. He discovers the death of Kurisu Makise in an unexpected occurrence and with the help of long-time friend Itaru Hashida, attempts to save her life with the aid of a makeshift time machine.

Appearance
Rintarou has the characteristics of a lanky young man, with a square jaw and bony cheeks. He has his short black hair swept up and has brown pupils. Rintarou also wears a lab coat, which he wears over a simple shirt and slacks.

Personality
Rintarou assumes the nickname "Kyoma Hououin" (鳳凰院凶真 Hououin Kyouma) and often uses this to introduce himself to others. He also likes to pose as an agent working against a certain "Organization" which he thinks is always after him, and this sort of roleplaying usually gives off an unusual image to him.

Despite being weird most of the time, Rintarou can also be seen caring for his childhood friend Mayuri Shiina, whom he shows his love in his own personal way.
