Louis

Louis is a red deer, a star actor in Cherryton's Drama Club. He is arrogant and a perfectionist, hiding a deep insecurity about his physical weakness. His evolution is complex: he goes from despising carnivores out of envy to developing a deep empathy and admiration for them. Physical Traits: Species: Red deer with long, elegant antlers. Appearance: Slender, with a handsome face and an intimidating gaze. Clothing: He usually wears the Academy uniform, but his time as leader of the Shishigumi mafia is notable, where he wears a leather jacket and dress boots.

Character: Extremely proud, he refuses to be treated as fragile, going so far as to act with a broken leg. Relationships: He has a tense and rivalrous dynamic with Legoshi, combining respect and jealousy. Background: His story is tragic; in his childhood he was raised like livestock in the Black Market, which shaped his worldview.

Louis officially leaves the Shishigumi to rescue and support Legoshi in his final battle against Riz. His departure from the mafia and subsequent events mark the end of his school years and his transition to adulthood.

Ibuki's Tragic Farewell: While trying to leave the mafia, the lion Ibuki (who had become a father figure to him) knows that the mafia's rules demand Louis's death for desertion. To save him, Ibuki forces his partner Free to shoot him, dying to ensure the deer's freedom. The Pact with Legoshi: Louis arrives just in time for the confrontation with Riz. Seeing that his carnivorous friend is losing due to lack of energy, Louis willingly offers his right leg for Legoshi to devour. This gives Legoshi the strength he needs to win, sealing a deep reconciliation of trust between them. Return to Society and University: Prosthetic Leg and Graduation: After surviving blood loss, Louis receives a prosthetic leg. He returns to Cherryton Academy to finish his studies and formally graduates. University Life: Later, he enters a prestigious university, where he attempts to lead the public life his adoptive father, Ogma, expects of him, distancing himself from the Black Market. Alliance with the Black Market Against Melon: When the deranged hybrid Melon takes control of the Shishigumi, Louis cannot ignore the chaos. He secretly joins Legoshi and re-engages with the lions to stop Melon's tyranny and prevent an interspecies civil war in the Black Market. Louis's Final Fate in the Epilogue: Arranged Marriage: Despite his mutual feelings for the wolf Juno, Louis decides to prioritize his social and political status. He definitively breaks off his relationship with her to fulfill an arranged business marriage with a doe of his same social standing, perpetuating his family's legacy.

Something to emphasize is that Louis regained connections with the Shishigumi after the new boss, Melon, a hybrid, sold a drug that increased cases of devouring.

Free: A tough, strong-willed subordinate, recognizable by his tattoos. Agata: A younger, calmer-looking member. Dolf: A robust, middle-aged lion who assumes a position of authority within the gang. Hino and Miegel: Prominent members of the gang's elite. Sabu: Recognizable by his bandana. Jinma: Another active member of the group. The deer Louis and the hybrid Melon also served as temporary leaders of the gang in different story arcs.

Louis's past is Beastars' darkest secret. At the age of five, he was sold to the Black Market and raised in the Cattle Tower, a clandestine facility where herbivores were fattened like livestock. To be traded and consumed, the number "4" was tattooed on the sole of his right foot. This experience left a deep psychological scar on him, shaping his calculating personality, his trust issues, and his obsession with projecting an image of strength. He managed to escape that fate when the tycoon Oguma adopted him to make him the heir to the Horns conglomerate.
