Shinji Itou

Shinji can be described as a clever, curious, kind-hearted and reliable young man who is a fan of learning anything about bizarre kind of murders and had read many killer diaries and nonfiction crime books. He would often be very interested in new discoveries regarding the Return of the New Generation Madness, and any hypotheses Takuru Miyashiro would bring in the matter. He is a rational person, often criticizing Takuru's questionable or immature ethics and actions, worrying for his safety and keeping him in check, although he himself can sometimes act immaturely.
