Kira, Kousuke

吉良康介

Fourteen-year-old Kousuke was a victim of domestic and sexual violence at the hands of his father. He ran away from home on multiple occasions and turned to pickpocketing on the streets. His crimes escalated to robbery, and he began committing far worse acts, including murder, followed by the rape of three women. Kousuke was also a heavy Btooom! online gamer, nearly as skilled as Sakamoto. Like Sakamoto, Kousuke was an addict, playing for 40 hours non-stop. His gaming addiction often led to his father abusing him. His lack of empathy, along with his delinquent childhood, may stem from living under his abusive father, whom he feared.
