Ōji Karasuma (烏丸 大路, Karasuma Ōji^?) is a character from the School Rumble manga/anime series.

Karasuma is Tenma Tsukamoto's love interest, often depicted as a stonefaced eccentric. He enjoys odd habits such as dressing as a kappa during rainy days, embodying a Japanese pun on the word for raincoat. He enjoys eating curry. Although unspoken, he seems to be a highly accomplished fighter. He is excellent at dodging any flying projectiles and is able to deflect Harima's attack using only his two fingers. Karasuma is secretly a famous mangaka, publishing his works under the pen name of Nijō jō(二条丈). Although it seems like Tenma's feelings for him are unrequited, behind his poker face he sometimes shows true concern for her in the story.

In the beginning of the story, Karasuma announced he was moving to another city, to the despair of Tenma who wrote him an absurdly long anonymous letter (just because she forgot to put her name in) asking him to not leave. If her plea worked or not it's a mystery, but somehow he did not leave. But Tenma's days near her beloved seem to be numbered as he apparently was allowed to stay for another year only, and by now this year is almost entirely gone.

Note: His surname, Karasuma (烏丸), can be misread as Torimaru (鳥丸), which Harima had mistakenly called him once.
