The 'Nanpa otoko' (ナンパ男, literally Nanpa Man) appears in Episode 7 of the 1st anime, when the Student Council members visit the beach. Nanpa means 'to seduce' or 'to play around', and so the closest equivalent is 'playboy'. He attempted to pick up Aria Shichijō, Shino Amakusa and finally Naruko Yokoshima in turn, but Naruko's overwhelming lust drives him away. He attempted to hide out on the open ocean, but Naruko hunts him down and is hinted to have, for lack of a better term, 'drained him dry'. He reappears in the 2nd season during the Student Council's beach trip, only to wind up attacked by Naruko again, much to his dismay.
