Korekiyo Shinguji [Zombie Apocalypse.]

Allies: Kiyo Ultimate Anthropologist Gender Male Height 188 cm Weight 65 kg Birth Date ♌ July 31 Chest Size 81 cm Blood Type O Likes Straw ropes Dislikes Air conditioning Family Unnamed older sister † People are creatures of greed. At times, that inner ugliness is visible. But that, too, is just another aspect of the beauty of humanity. Appearance: Korekiyo is a tall, slim student with rather pale skin and long ocean green hair. His hair is stated to follow an archaic image of beauty and it "puts his female colleagues to shame". He has narrowed yellow eyes, and his mouth is covered by a sage green mask, covering his mouth and neck, with a zipper where his mouth would be, giving him a sinister and mysterious appearance. He wears the mask wherever he goes, no matter where he goes, and he even owns different masks for eating, showering, and other daily activities. When his mask is removed, it is revealed that he wears lipstick as the appearance of his tulpa that was based on his late sister. His appearance becomes more feminine where his chest gets slightly bigger, his eyebrows become thinner and he grows more eyelashes along with eyeshadow spontaneously appearing when his sister's persona is taking over. He wears a dark green military-style uniform with knee-high black boots, a zipper lining the front and two straps over it. The uniform consists of a white button-up underneath it, a dark green button-up, a red armband around his left arm from his previous school, Sunset Hills High School, a green military regulation cap with his former school's insignia on the top, and a decorative chain with revolver chamber and bullet looking charms dangling from it. In his Free Time events, he states that his sister tailored his uniform for him while she was sick. He wears what appears to be some kind of silver locket around his neck. Both of his hands are completely covered in bandages, although it's likely he's not even injured and that this is actually related to sorcery.

Personality: Korekiyo is aloof and somewhat disturbing, but he is also very cool-headed and intelligent. Having met a wide variety of human beings during his experience in cultural anthropology fieldwork, he can keep himself composed even under confinement circumstances and believes in facing things with a calm and rational approach rather than an emotional one. He tends to stay calmer than the others during dire situations. As for him, it's an opportunity to observe. However, even his spirit begins to break during the Death Road of Despair, and he becomes panicky during Gonta's Insect Meet and Greet. His morals have been described as being "a bit off." At one point, he even openly states he has no problem with killing and wonders why the others do, saying that killing is perceived as wrong only because of laws made by humans and such laws do not exist in the Killing Game. He is aware that his appearance and behavior cause him to come across as a potential murderer, but he does not appear to care what other people think of him. He claims the others shouldn't fear him as a potential murderer, as he merely wishes to observe. He is highly passionate about his talent and can get excited when talking about it. It is shown when he panics after Kokichi touches the katana in his lab without permission, fearing that it may be damaged, and threatens to tear it out his nerves. He ponders different subjects in a deep and complex manner and occasionally shares his knowledge in lengthy, unsolicited anthropology speeches. He has formed a pet theory of "humanity's unlimited beauty," believing that all human beings are beautiful, including their "ugly sides." That beauty can be created from hardship, though, as seen in how he interacts with Kokichi and Miu, he does tend to find noisy and vulgar people annoying, often asking them to be quiet. Korekiyo is extremely interested in topics he does not necessarily agree with, as he states he does not believe in any gods. Still, he finds th

Korekiyo is extremely interested in topics he does not necessarily agree with, as he states he does not believe in any gods. Still, he finds them interesting from the point of view of studying human nature and cultures. However, he does believe in ghosts, souls, and the afterlife and shows a fascination with communication with the dead and death in general.

Korekiyo usually speaks calmly and politely, but he nevertheless comes across as somewhat off and makes others uncomfortable due to his strange and sometimes morbid thinking. During the Killing Game, he observes other students with great interest in seeing what kind of beauty they will display as humans under such circumstances, seemingly not caring about their safety. It has been stated that Korekiyo is so interested in anthropology that it sometimes seems like he is not as interested in the welfare of those around him. He can say unsettling things rather openly, like randomly mentioning that Gonta could use his immense strength to crush a child's skull easily. He also possesses several idiosyncrasies. He is very fixated on keeping his mask on, taking his mask off only in front of people his sister deems trustworthy. During his Free Time Events, he claims he has a different mask for different activities, like eating, bathing, sleeping, and exercising. However, they all look exactly the same, and while they have a zipper across the mouth, it does not appear that food passes through it when he eats or drinks. He has a unique and somewhat creepy laugh, written as "kehehehe" in the English localization. In the original Japanese, "kukuku" is his unique laugh sound. Unlike most students in the series, he apparently has lots of experience with sexual relationships. He has described himself as very popular with local women in a village that commonly practiced bondage. He is sadomasochistic, enjoying the pain of others because he considers the raw emotions beautiful and enjoying his own suffering because he believes it makes him closely connected to his deceased sister and the beauty of humanity as a whole. In his Love Suite event, it's implied that he is willing to have physical relationships with other people "out of curiosity," even if it's not consensual. Still, he states he would never love them.

Unlike most students in the series, he apparently has lots of experience with sexual relationships.

In his Love Suite event, it's implied that he is willing to have physical relationships with other people "out of curiosity," even if it's not consensual. Still, he states he would never love them. Even though he is apparently willing to have strictly physical relationships with other people, during the bonus mode Love Across the Universe, he refuses to look at pornography because he has "already given his heart to someone." Indeed, he is shown to be very romantic, firmly believing in the "power of love" that can make even the impossible possible. He is very fond of romance and love stories, especially ones centered around forbidden love.

Korekiyo is obsessed with his sister and claims to be deeply in love, even saying she is the only person he cares about. His hair and clothing are directly connected to her. He is noted to wake up two hours before the morning announcement, spending a whole hour carefully dressed in no hurry, leading the other students to perceive him as very effeminate and even occasionally mocked by Kaito. He will sometimes speak on behalf of his sister, for example, by telling someone that his sister is pleased with them or that she doesn't trust them yet. The other students either do not understand what he is talking about or do not notice it. It's later revealed that his older sister is actually deceased and that he is a serial killer whose goal is to kill a hundred women he considers "pure," believing that they will become "admirable friends" for his sister in the afterlife. Korekiyo even claims that he and his sister were in an incestuous relationship, and the fact that he generally only kills women is likely related to this. After suffering from traumatic torture and a near-death experience in the past, he developed a female split personality, or tulpa, based on his sister, which serves as a coping mechanism against feelings of exceptional distress. While normally very calm, stress can cause a panic attack, rendering him hyperventilating and unable to talk properly. The sister persona acts reassuring towards him but also gives orders which Korekiyo seems to obey without any questions. The persona also seems to dislike other people in a passive-aggressive and condescending manner, referring to the other students as "ignorant children" and "such a sorry lot."

When he is revealed to be the culprit during the third trial, not only does Korekiyo appear to feel no guilt for his actions, but he also genuinely considers the other students to be his friends, likely due to his personal beliefs on death and skewed morality. During the trial, he initially panics upon being indicated as the culprit. Still, he slightly hesitantly calms down after his "sister" orders him to accept his defeat, as his death would mean he would be reunited with his sister. In his last words, he mentions that death is never acceptable for humans, and the living must find a reason to accept it whenever it happens, no matter how forced, explaining why so many cultures have funeral rituals and rumors about resurrecting the dead. He says to come to the conclusion that the way you come to terms with death also determines how you live, indicating that his actions may be a coping mechanism for his grief over his sister's death and that he is aware of this on some level. He promises to look over his "friends" as a ghost and creepily states that he'll be watching how they will face the deaths of their friends. After his execution, however, his spirit reacts with utter horror and disbelief as his sister joins Monokuma in exorcising him with purifying salt, indicating that he genuinely believed that he was acting according to her wishes. When the zombie apocalypse began, Shinguji joined a group of wild wolves led by Mello, who lived in an abandoned factory.
