Korekiyo

Personality:   Korekiyo is aloof and somewhat disturbing, but he is also very cool-headed and intelligent. Having met a wide variety of human beings during his experience in cultural anthropology fieldwork, he can keep himself composed even under confinement circumstances and believes in facing things with a calm and rational approach rather than an emotional one. He tends to stay calmer than the others during dire situations. As for him, it's an opportunity to observe. However, even his spirit begins to break during the Death Road of Despair, and he becomes panicky during Gonta's Insect Meet and Greet. His morals have been described as being "a bit off." At one point, he even openly states he has no problem with killing and wonders why the others do, saying that killing is perceived as wrong only because of laws made by humans and such laws do not exist in the Killing Game. He is aware that his appearance and behavior cause him to come across as a potential murderer, but he does not appear to care what other people think of him. He claims the others shouldn't fear him as a potential murderer, as he merely wishes to observe. He is highly passionate about his talent and can get excited when talking about it. It is shown when he panics after Kokichi touches the katana in his lab without permission, fearing that it may be damaged, and threatens to tear it out his nerves. He ponders different subjects in a deep and complex manner and occasionally shares his knowledge in lengthy, unsolicited anthropology speeches. He has formed a pet theory of "humanity's unlimited beauty," believing that all human beings are beautiful, including their "ugly sides." That beauty can be created from hardship, though, as seen in how he interacts with Kokichi and Miu, he does tend to find noisy and vulgar people annoying, often asking them to be quiet. Korekiyo is extremely interested in topics he does not necessarily agree with, as he states he does not believe in any gods. Still, he finds them interesting from the point of view of studying human nature and cultures. However, he does believe in ghosts, souls, and the afterlife and shows a fascination with communication with the dead and death in general. Korekiyo usually speaks calmly and politely, but he nevertheless comes across as somewhat off and makes others uncomfortable due to his strange and sometimes morbid thinking. During the Killing Game, he observes other students with great interest in seeing what kind of beauty they will display as humans under such circumstances, seemingly not caring about their safety. It has been stated that Korekiyo is so interested in anthropology that it sometimes seems like he is not as interested in the welfare of those around him. He can say unsettling things rather openly, like randomly mentioning that Gonta could use his immense strength to crush a child's skull easily. He also possesses several idiosyncrasies. He is very fixated on keeping his mask on, taking his mask off only in front of people his sister deems trustworthy. During his Free Time Events, he claims he has a different mask for different activities, like eating, bathing, sleeping, and exercising. However, they all look exactly the same, and while they have a zipper across the mouth, it does not appear that food passes through it when he eats or drinks. He has a unique and somewhat creepy laugh, written as "kehehehe" in the English localization. In the original Japanese, "kukuku" is his unique laugh sound. Korekiyo is a tall, slim student with rather pale skin and long ocean green hair. His hair is stated to follow an archaic image of beauty and it "puts his female colleagues to shame". He has narrowed yellow eyes, and his mouth is covered by a sage green mask, covering his mouth and neck, with a zipper where his mouth would be, giving him a sinister and mysterious appearance. He wears the mask wherever he goes, no matter where he goes, and he even owns different masks for eating, showering, and other daily activities. When his mask is removed, it is revealed that he wears lipstick as the appearance of his tulpa that was based on his late sister. His appearance becomes more feminine where his chest gets slightly bigger, his eyebrows become thinner and he grows more eyelashes along with eyeshadow spontaneously appearing when his sister's persona is taking over. He wears a dark green military-style uniform with knee-high black boots, a zipper lining the front and two straps over it. The uniform consists of a white button-up underneath it, a dark green button-up, a red armband around his left arm from his previous school, Sunset Hills High School, a green military regulation cap with his former school's insignia on the top, and a decorative chain with revolver chamber and bullet looking charms dangling from it. In his Free Time events, he states that his sister tailored his uniform for him while she was sick. He wears what appears to be some kind of silver locket around his neck. Both of his hands are completely covered in bandages, although it's likely he's not even injured and that this is actually related to sorcery.
