Suguru Kamoshida Husbando

Description \ Bio

Suguru Kamoshida is a character from Persona 5. He is a former Olympian athlete who has become the volleyball coach of Shujin Academy. Kamoshida has long black unkempt hair and thick eyebrows. His jawline is broad and square. He wears a white T-shirt and black track pants with double white stripes. Around his neck he wears what appears to be a red timer and a whistle. He also seems to be unnaturally tall when compared in passing to other staff members and students; he is at least a full head taller than the rest of the students which makes him appear a good 7 feet tall, towering way above the protagonist. His first name, Suguru, can also be translated as "tall." He appears generally athletic, with a mildly muscular build. His Shadow Self wears a gold crown, red heart printed cape and pink underwear, leaving his torso and hairy legs exposed. When he transforms into Asmodeus, he becomes a large naked pink demon with multiple arms and legs as well as a thick purple tongue about as long as he himself is, while wearing his Treasure as a crown and sitting on a monstrous throne with live eyes, at the sides of said throne, lie gigantic golden balls with chained student slaves. He wears a red cape on his back, with multiple medals hidden within it. He carries golden eating utensils in his lower arms to consume the Cognitive existences of his female team members to restore his health. His upper arms carry a riding crop, which he cracks to order the creatures chained to his throne to assault a Phantom Thief with volleyballs, and a wine glass containing wine and the Cognitive Ann that he drinks when buffing himself. He also spikes explosive volleyballs at the party as an attack. Kamoshida is an insane man and an utter fiend who bends the rights and wrongs of his actions by excusing himself as the "king of a castle" rather than the PE teacher of a school that he really is. He would regress his ideas of right and wrong to such a petty extent that not only would he be able to nitpick the errors of others isolated from the context, but he would justify his own actions based on mere emotions or elaborate excuses. This makes Kamoshida a lustful, vain, cruel and utterly selfish bully who abuses his female students emotionally, physically and sexually, even going as far as pursuing a toxic relationship with ones that he had hooked an eye on. His own male students fare no better, as he subjects them to an utterly ruthless training regimen that many of them compare to torture, and will even use it as punishment if his team loses a game. His sheer egotism and vanity pushes him to sabotage a rival sport team of his own school purely because said team may rise to nationals. He believes his relative success as a coach and previous successes as an athletic champion gives him the privilege to do whatever he wants. Due to his outright repulsiveness, he is described by Ryuji Sakamoto as a monster and by Ann Takamaki as a "piece of shit" and a "son of a bitch." All of the students in Shujin unanimously dislike him, although unlike Ryuji and Ann, they chose to cover him up in fear of reprisal by the principal, to which he merely sees as a form of protection for his nonexistent kindness. In fact, he denies any wrongdoing from his part, believing that both students "seek" him in order to achieve fame and that both the student body and adults protect him in what he perceives as a mutually beneficial contract in which everyone "profits." In the real world, Kamoshida blatantly manipulates, divides and abuses his students in a predatory manner, so they couldn't stand against him together, and targets that he dislikes or wants to prey upon are isolated. His crimes are extremely obvious and blatant and he often abuses his students in the open due to his sense of untouchability (although the abuse often happens in places that he considers as "private," such as inside his PE office). Outwardly however, he seems to appear completely normal, albeit rather condescending when he isn't dealing with students privately. This proves to be his downfall against the Phantom Thieves, as despite he thinks that he's merely abusing students on private while giving himself an outward image, his abuse often leaves visual indicators, such as bruises among his victims and sometimes, auditory ones such as students screaming or making "other weird voices" out in the open. The attempted suicide of one of his victims for this proves to be a horrifying example of his crimes and later the catalyst of his defeat. He is also known to be a vicious gossip, regularly starting rumors to defame and hopefully expel students he dislikes (as seen with the protagonist if his heist arc is not completed before the deadline) and appears to be excellent in gathering personal information from his students. His Palace takes the form of a castle over which he rules as king while the students are his slaves, showing him to be incredibly egotistical. The Palace represents his lust and desire both for success and power, resulting in his callous treatment of his athletes and his ephebophilia towards his female students. His Shadow Self, taking the form of a king who rules the place is barely distinguishable from his true self. The only difference from his real self and his Shadow self is that the latter is more open and honest about the selfishness and egotism behind his actions. Kamoshida's Shadow Self also uses the highly vulgar "Oresama" to refer to himself by first person and "Kisama" when addressing others in Japanese. (His normal self usually uses "Ore", which is still rather informal but much more colloquial than "Oresama," while using "Kisama" if he is extremely angered). He in fact has such an inflated sense of self-worth that his Shadow Self openly declares that he made the school into what it is, implying it would be nothing if he wasn't there. He deliberately abuses and molests his athletes on perceived private terms (or sometimes, even out in the open with numerous spectators), which his Shadow Self admits it's more about domination than sexual attraction, even claiming that his students "came on to him" because of his fame and talent, believing this is reason enough to not be accused of sexually abusive practices (which interestingly stands in stark contrast with his claims that he is being "protected"). He has no respect for women or his students at all, viewing female students as possessions and male students as disposable props to enable his own continued success and glory, which is evident in the way both genders are displayed inside his palace, with male students being shown as chained slaves, while female ones wear skimpy and revealing clothing while entirely submissive to him. He appears more obsessed with Ann because her blonde hair makes her a rarity in Japan so by having her as his "girlfriend" she would become another of his trophies. He also claims to be driven by a deep sense of inadequacy because he's scared of people putting expectations of him, presumable in fear of losing his Olympic record, although the legitimacy of this claim is dubious, as when his Shadow mentions this, he also claims he had the right to demand "a reward" for his efforts, implying that everything he did, he felt he had earned the right to do. Ultimately he views no one, but himself, with any ounce of dignity, being visibly furious at having his prized possessions attacked in any fashion, deriding the Phantom Thieves for not seeing the value of the physical proof of his success. In fact, he further insults his slaves no matter the gender they are as being "useless" when prevented from giving him his volleyballs by the Phantom Thieves, although he is generally more welcoming of a female slave serving the ball for him. His Shadow is shown to be quite cowardly, as it will often take hostages and act haughty and ruthless in such situations. He will even kill accidental intruders, as seen before the protagonist awakens his Persona. However, when a person awakens a Persona in front of him, he is instantly scared to the point that he flees quickly and leaves several guards to dispatch the intruders for him. When defeated he tries to flee, but feels himself ultimately unable to act as his only options are to confront the Phantom Thieves or jump from his castle, a twist of poetic justice that puts him in the same spot he pushed his students into. It is at this point that he not only begs for mercy for his misdeeds, but even claims to Ann that she can do whatever she wants since she had won. This statement might reflect the core Kamoshida's character which sees everything in a warped competitive light of absolutes of winning and losing, being entitled to all his heinous crimes because he was a "winner," and resigning himself to his fate once he became the "loser." After the Phantom Thieves steal his Treasure, he loses his belief that he is the ruler of the school and realizes his actions have caused irrevocable pain and suffering to all his victims including his own team. He even refers to himself as "watashi" instead of "ore" or "oresama." He at first offers to commit suicide before willingly resigning and submitting to arrest and therapy for his narcissism.
