Kanō Shin'ichi

Kanou Shinichi (加納 慎一（かのう しんいち）) is the main protagonist of Outbreak Company series.

Personality
Being very familiar and knowledgeable on Otaku culture, he cannot stand people who discriminate Otaku culture, which results in him clashing with the hierarchal culture of Erdant. While generally accepting of most character archetypes, he cannot get used to the "Imouto Chara", partly due to his real life experience.

History
Long ago, Shinichi confessed to his childhood friend, but was rejected immediately after for being an otaku. After failing to confess to his childhood friend, he turned into a Hikikomori, dropping out of school. This lifestyle was kept for a year, but after his parents' patience hit the limit, he was forced to return to school. He was told to find a job, forcing him to to leave his Hikikomori life.

Plot
At the start of the series, Shinichi was given the position of general manager for General Entertainment Company Amu Tech. He was unwittingly sent to the "Holy Empire of Erdant", a fantasy-like world where otaku culture is absent. His job given by the Japanese government is to spread the "Otaku" culture so that Japan can enter its economy. By learning more about this new world, it's possible to find a good solution.
