Episode 1 SynopsisDensha Otoko, also known as Train Man, is a japanese drama based on a true story about an Otaku, Yamada Tsuyoshi, trying to win the heart of the beautiful girl, Aoyama Saori, who he meets and rescues during a train ride from a vile old drunkard. Otaku is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games, the type of guys that doesn't appeal to most girls.
Despite Yamada being defeated by the drunkard in the end, Saori expresses gratitude to Yamada thereafter and shows interest in further interaction with him. She sends him Hermes tea cups, along with her handphone number.
Extremely inconfident and unexperienced in communication with girls, Yamada shares his fateful encounter with his love interest on the train with the online forum members of Aladdin Channel BBS.
Yamada works as a job agent who often gets bullied by his colleagues and his flirtatuous female client. Jinkama Kisuzu, due to his soft and inconfident character. Even his younger sister despises him at home. The thought of suicide crosses his mind when his birthday is totally forgotten by his father.
The Aladdin Channel BBS forum members become his only pillar of confidence and motivation. Together, they persistently encourage him to call Saori's handphone number, which he can never find the courage to do so.
Thanks to their persuasion, and a motivational text art by one of the forum member, who names him Densha Otoko, he finally plucks up the courage to call Saori, trembling as he holds the phone.
The first episode of Densha Otoko/Trainman ends with Saori's handphone ringing in a restaurant in the company of another guy as Yamada awaits her to pick up anxiously.
