Shimokawa (下川, Shimokawa), otherwise known as Good Night Shimokawa (グッドナイト下川, Guddo Naito Shimokawa), is a second-year student at Ishiyama High School.
Appearance[]
Shimokawa wears a purple pinstriped suit which he usually wears unbuttoned and wears a light purple polo shirt underneath it, he also wears a pair of matching purple pinstriped pants. He has black long hair which kept combed and in a ponytail with a long bang that hangs down his face.
Personality[]
Shimokawa has a lazy and laid-back attitude. He is also shown as a womanizer and hits on the girls in Red Tail when he gets the chance, by doing this he has earned the nickname of "Creepokawa", much like Takayuki Furuichi, among Red Tail. He is also conscious about keeping his title of "Good Night" by constantly saying his catch phrase and correcting people on his nickname.
Though being a second year and claiming to be an expert at English, he can't even spell his own catch phrase properly in English, as seen when Furuichi picks up his notebook, Shimokawa had written it as "Good Nait".
He changes the spelling in Episode 52, but still has a long way to go.

However, it becomes evident that there are issues with who is going to be the leader amongst their alliance. Per Yuka's suggestion, they all partake in a game of rock-paper-scissors, including Shimokawa, and it is decided that Baby Beel will be the one holding the title.[4]
Late at night, Shimokawa and several of his classmates from Saint Ishiyama Academy head to their high school.[5]
