Considering the 4 Types of Raika and Meiru [Toshio Okada's 4 Types]

Fri 12/Sep/2025

The Toshio Okada 4 Types is a tool for understanding human desires broadly categorised into four types, thereby facilitating smoother communication.

For an explanation, this video provides a clear summary, so I've included it here.
It's perfectly fine to just watch the first ten minutes or so.

Now, to the main point.

To state the conclusion first, I believe it will look like this diagram.

Meiru: Attention-seeking type
Raika: Commanding type leaning towards Law
Calido Kei: Law type leaning towards Commander (listed for comparison with the above two)

I shall explain each one in turn.

メイル：注目型/Meiru: Attention type

The Attention-seeking type often has a flamboyant appearance or acts as the class mood-maker.

They harbour a desire to be liked by everyone, telling amusing stories or simply trying to keep everyone happy.

Meiru has an instantly recognisable cute appearance, making her the class idol. She's a tsundere type who struggles to be honest with those she likes (at least towards Netto).

She seems torn, wanting to say she likes him but unable to be straightforward. Beyond that, she often acts based on emotion rather than logic. Therefore, in the diagram, I positioned her slightly closer to the ideal type.

Meiru and I (the Law type leaning towards the Commander) occupy diametrically opposed positions on the chart. This visualises how difficult it is for us to understand each other's desires, but conversely, our desires don't awkwardly clash, making us a complementary pair who cover each other's weaknesses.

Personally, I find the Attention-seeking type the easiest to communicate with. If I strike up an enjoyable conversation to keep them in good spirits, the situation holds together.

Raika: Commanding type leaning towards the law

This approach prioritises rationality and logic over emotion, and the Commander types leaning towards the Law type type—such as Raika—and the Law types leaning towards the Commander type—such as myself—tend particularly to suppress emotion.

Observing him, I felt he embodied the Commander type precisely, yet simultaneously did not fit the Law type. There is a reason for this.

There is a significant difference between the Command type and the Law type. This becomes clear when expressed as “the presence or absence of upward ambition”.

The Command type is concerned with social status, the number of securities held, the size of bank deposits, and so forth, thus possessing strong upward ambition. It is likely that Raika, too, became a soldier at the age of thirteen precisely because of this strong upward ambition.

In contrast, the Law types tend to favour living life at 50%, or at most 60%, energy efficiency. They often avoid conflict, finding it troublesome, and are cautious about making even a single promise to avoid feeling constrained. However, they do value order, so once a promise is made, they will keep it. This “energy-saving orientation” is something I possess innately, but it seems Raika does not.

Still, since our positions on the diagram are close, if we could communicate directly, we could likely have an intellectual conversation. Though, Raika might well find my usual lack of motivation rather frustrating.

Writing At the Finish

I'm rather fond of this tool and have watched the video I shared earlier several times.
According to this video, Hiroyuki Nishimura appears to be a Rule-based type.

It explains that Command-based types have a “Law of Superiority” that makes them aspire to be Rule-based types. ...Which means, could Raika potentially become a Hiroyuki follower...?
