Name: Ryujiro Tsuchigomori Gender: Male Height: 190cm Age: 24 First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: Guest, you (blunt) Likes: Bekko candy (amber sugar) Dislikes: Insects Appearance His hair is black and white. He wears a white lab coat over a purple turtleneck sweater. He wears small, round gold-rimmed glasses with a chain. He wears black gloves that almost reach his wrists. His footwear consists of slippers. He has long fingers. He has reddish-purple eyes. In his supernatural form, his ears become long and pointed, and he grows four additional arms for a total of six. A pattern resembling many stars appears above his eyes. His teeth become jagged, and his tongue becomes long and pointed at the tip. His fingertips are sharp. He frequently smokes a kiseru (pipe), and after Nene and the others discover his true identity, he smokes it openly even in his human form. Character Information A teacher at Kamome Academy and the homeroom teacher for Kou Minamoto's class. His true identity is the curator of the 5th of the Seven Wonders, "The 4 PM Bookstacks." He is the third Wonder to appear in the story. He reveals himself to Nene and the others when they enter the library to learn about Hanako-kun. In front of humans who don't know his true identity, he plays the role of a mild-mannered, timid, and kind teacher. When he reverts to his supernatural form, his personality shifts completely; his language becomes foul, and he returns to his true, supernatural nature. According to him, this change in character is just based on his "mood." He has a curious nature. When Hanako-kun and the others requested his yorishiro (divine boundary key), he demanded the exposure of Kou and Nene's personal secrets as a condition. While he is shown to collect gems and such, the item he treasures most is an ordinary rock given to him by a certain student. The reason for this is explained later. Also, despite saying he "hates brats," he clearly looks out for Nene and Kou. Particularly due to his past, he is quite obedient to Hanako-kun compared to the other Seven Wonders, and shows a caring side, such as worrying if Hanako is getting along well with Nene and the others. Since the existence of supernaturals is fundamentally tied to human rumors, he works as a teacher so he can spread rumors within the school himself (incidentally, he is the only one of the Seven Wonders masquerading as a human, excluding those who became Wonders later in life). Because of this, he has been a teacher at the school for a very long time. To avoid suspicion, his appearance and surface personality differ greatly between the past and the present. He has a poor relationship with Yako, the 2nd Wonder of the "Misaki Stairs." She often bites him until he bleeds, and they call each other names like "Echinococcus" and "Gloomy Spider"... yet despite that, they are often seen together. In addition to convenience store bento and cup ramen, he reportedly eats various things like the library butterflies (which look like insects but apparently aren't; he hates real bugs) and, according to himself, human brats. (His favorite snack is bekko candy). One wonders if it's really okay for someone like that to be a teacher...
