Abstract

This study aims to reveal how the personality structure of the character Eikichi Onizuka is portrayed in the drama Great Teacher Onizuka (2012). The drama depicts Onizuka as a teacher and former motorcycle gang member who employs unconventional approaches in guiding his students. This research adopts Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic framework of personality structure and dynamics, which encompasses the functions of the id, ego, and superego, along with psychological processes such as inner conflict and defense mechanisms that shape individual behavior. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data consisting of dialogue and visual material in the form of screenshots taken from Great Teacher Onizuka. Data were collected through attentive viewing and systematic note-taking, producing 8 findings that illustrate the structure and dynamics of the character’s personality. The results demonstrate that Onizuka’s behavior emerges from the dynamic interaction between the spontaneous impulses of the id, the ego’s regulation of reality, and the moral considerations governed by the superego. Within this dynamic, the ego functions as the dominant element that balances instinctual impulses and moral demands.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
