Seccom Masada-sensei (or Masada) is a character found in Madotsuki's dreams. He is popular with fans. He is found by sleeping in any one of a number of beds found in the dream world, going down the staircase, walking past the elevator, and using either the Umbrella or Yuki-onna effect to extinguish the fire.
Description
His fan-invented name is Sentimental Komuro Michael Sakamoto Dada-sensei (センチメンタル小室マイケル坂本ダダ先生). Obviously quite a mouthful to pronounce, fans shortened it to Seccom Masada-sensei (the letter c being doubled probably to avoid trademark infringement of a security company of same name, which is famous in Japan).
He is found in a black-and-white spaceship, apparently the pilot. He stands next to a piano. The player is able to "speak" to him, yielding a beeping noise that some Mario players may find familiar.
Masada is one of only two characters who walk backwards in the game (the other one being Dave Spector), although the only way to see him walk this way is by activating the Knife effect. He glides forwards when the Cat effect is used.
Fan Speculation
Piano Teacher
Seccom Masada's usual interpretation is that he is Madotsuki's (possibly former) piano teacher. It has also been interpreted that Masada might have been a drug user, and the crashing of his UFO was meant to represent his 'crash' (Overdose, possibly his death as well).
There been speculation that Madotsuki had lived and sleeped in Masada's flat outside the dream world (represented as an UFO in her dream) for some period of time, could suggest that Masada is an adult that she trusted before she became a shut in for some reason. Their relationship seems to be platonic, it could be that Madotsuki had a brief feelings for Masada before, but didn't know her feelings towards him (in which he speaks and alien language).
Also the UFO where Masada lives in is simplistic and spartan, with only the big piano looking control and a table with two chairs only, could suggest that Masada is a struggling pianist who earn side income from private piano lessons.
