Kyogo Shinazugawa Deceased. Died at age 35. Sanemi and Genya are children from his previous marriage.

Shizu Shinazugawa Deceased. Died at age 33. Guest is her child from a previous marriage.

The culprit of this story. A human. At first glance, he appears to be a gentlemanly and calm individual, but he has a terrible temper and will immediately purge or kill anyone who offends him. He is extremely short-tempered and difficult, killing many people emotionlessly on a whim without a shred of conscience. His terrifyingly self-centered nature makes him truly worthy of being called a monster. Since he likens himself to a natural disaster, he can be described as "absolute evil"—pretending to be a transcendent absolute being or natural law while in reality being a vulgar, degraded copy of it. Publicly, he is the president of a trading company. Privately, he is a hitman. His trading company secretly manufactures and distributes dangerous drugs. His reason for murdering the Shinazugawa couple was utterly selfish: their hayashi rice didn't suit his taste. He commits power harassment against his subordinates and is secretly hated by them. He pays bribes to high-ranking police officials, but eventually, his crimes will be exposed by Sanemi and the others, leading to his arrest.
