Shuichi Kagaya Husbando

Shuichi Kagaya is the male protagonist of Gleipnir series. He has the ability to transform into a mascot-looking dog and is helping Clair Aoki find her sister and her parents' murderers. Shuichi is a slender young boy of average height with short black-brown hair and sometimes wears glasses. Following his encounter with Elena, he has a scar across his neck. While in his monster form, he transforms into a dog mascot costume with light brown hair color and top right face being darker brown. He has a gun and zip on his back, which can be opened and a person can enter and take control of him. At the beginning of the story, Shuichi is kind and shy both inside and outside of school, and known to be quite intelligent as he got a recommendation for university and is often asked for help by his peers. After learning of his ability to transform into a monster he was conflicted and incredibly frightened of his new reality, and soon felt detached from life, trying to cling to a sense of normalcy with cynicism. Upon meeting Claire he felt terrified of the lengths she was willing to go in her quest to learn more about the monsters along her capacity to murder with seemingly any lack of restraint much in contrast to his still latent sense of humanity. After revealing how terrified he was of turning into a monster, Claire begun to care much more for him, a feeling that was mutual after he understood her motivations, being supportive enough to muster the willpower to stop her from committing suicide as she had promised to do, thinking he was dead. As disclosed by the Alien, Shuichi's monster form reflects his inner desires and how he is empty in the inside in order for someone else to "fill him" and make up for his own weaknesses, a key part in Shuichi's codependent relationship with Claire. As the story progresses, he becomes much colder, more serious and outgoing, accepting his ability and trying to understand and improve it. While he maintains his kindness and altruism, he steadily begins to forget his own well-being and self-worth, adopting a self-sacrificial mindset.
