Hiromi Higuruma is a highly intelligent former defense attorney who began his career driven by an unwavering sense of justice, taking on nearly impossible cases to help the wrongfully accused. Calm, reserved, and perpetually exhausted, he appeared detached but deeply cared about fairness. After years of seeing innocent clients convicted and being blamed for their fates, he became disillusioned. When an undeniably innocent client was found guilty, he snapped, using his cursed energy to kill the judge and prosecutor. Though cynical about humanity and convinced people are fundamentally weak, he remains compassionate and burdened by profound remorse for his actions. During the Culling Game, he relies on careful logic and strategic thinking, treating every situation like a legal case. Physically, Higuruma has a slender build, lightly tanned skin, short dark-brown hair, brown eyes with small pupils, and a tired, expressionless face. As a lawyer, he wears a black suit and tie with a sunflower pin on his left lapel, symbolizing his profession.
