Horigome (堀込(ほりごめ) Horigome) (surname) is a classical literature teacher at Sakuragaoka High School. He has taught there for a long time, since he was the supervisor of the Light Music Club when the members of the band Death Devil (Norimi Kawaguchi, Sawako Yamanaka, Jane and Della) still attended school. Since the band members were too wild in Horigome's eyes, they caused him many problems, forcing him to scold them over and over again.
