3-3 is the class. San-nen san-gumi.

I don't know how this didn't come up three weeks ago when some of us were discussing the roster in detail. I don't know much Japanese, but the kanji for month and day are so distinctively simple that I'm surprised none of us picked up on the fact that we were wrong.

As for whether or not Kouichi was planned for in advance, this was the only reference I could find:

Either that or if you are a proponent of Keichi is the another theory then you can take it as modification of records by the phenomenon I guess lulz.

Could someone who's read the novel confirm whether or not something like this is mentioned in the novel (if it's not a spoiler)?
