Throughout **Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei** , there's a picture (not animated) of
a bald man's face that appears randomly (often as a censor). Who is he and
what is his relation to the show (or their creators)? Does he randomly appear
in other Studio SHAFT shows?

Who is this man whose face appears randomly?


He is the mangaka's assistant, Maeda-kun.

From the TVTropes page [Manga: Sayonara, Zetsubou-
Sensei](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei):

> Fan Disservice: Some fanservice scenes can be a little awkward when they're
> censored by the face of Maeda-kun, Koji Kumeta's assistant, who sometimes is
> even facepalming disapprovingly. Shame on you.

He is [Kosaku
Maeda](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%89%8D%E7%94%B0%E5%90%9B), and his
nickname is MAEDAX, he was the voice actor for several minor parts in the show
(including playing himself, credited as MAEDAX) and also worked on the manga.

[Here is his picture on Anime news
network](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=67112).
