A young man highly proficient in IT, with a hobby for programming. His computer skills are extraordinary, ranging from running summary sites to high-level hacking. He served as the protagonist in the "Kou's Perspective" epilogue of the Wolf Game in another timeline, as well as in the sequel, Eve Project. However, he became something of a butt of the joke among fans after being forced into cross-dressing and wearing mascot suits. While Soshiro Kanzaki saw through his cross-dressing immediately, Tsubaki Ichijo was completely fooled. While there was some confusion over whether his surname was pronounced "Niimura" or "Shinmura," Studio Wasabi confirmed in a broadcast that "Niimura" is correct. Gender: Male Birthday: July 8th Height: 179cm Specialty: Programming Likes: Udon Dislikes: People who rely on others CV: Kento Ito Highly intelligent, he often leads the logic in trials by questioning others and organizing points of contention to corner the Wolf. The protagonist, Yukinari Shimotsuki, noted that because Kou is so smart and sharp, he's the one person he'd never want to have as the Wolf. He owns a cat named Mint and is known to dote on it, often seen nuzzling it with a wide smile. Since his favorite food is udon, his specialty dish is also udon. He apparently makes the noodles from scratch, and Ritsu Kamiki, who ate Kou's udon in a Wolf Game side story, praised it saying she couldn't stop eating. He also showed a rare blushing face when complimented by Rintaro Iida's mother. Beyond cooking, he is also excellent at food reporting, providing a delicate critique of the seaweed rice Rintaro made in the aforementioned side story. First person: I (rough, casual). Second person: you (blunt) / you (distant). He remains calm in any situation that isn't life-threatening. He possesses a cold, rational kind of kindness.
