“Welcome to Dead&Alive.”
A beautiful young handead with divine charisma

Age: 25
Birthday: 11/10
Height: 164 cm
Blood Type: A
Dead Point: Right Hand
Occupation: Clinical psychologist
Handead Origin: By birth
Hobby: Raising cactus

At only 15 years old, he became the head of DAA’s Fukuoka branch despite being the youngest member of the organization at the time. His mystical charisma naturally draws people in, and was what influenced the other members of deva to join the DAA. He’s actually tone-deaf, which undermines his ability to utilize the handead’s greatest weapon, music. However, he covers for this weakness through his hard work and charms. When Ko is not busy with the DAA, he works part time at a university hospital as a clinical psychologist. Nora (Yona) was his patient before he moved.
His days are focused on saving as many people as he can, but he spends many a night unable to sleep, caught up in his past mistakes.

While he appears very cute to the casual observer, over half of his body is in a Dead state. Has a tendency to look up search results of himself, and often checks if anyone's mentioned Yona or Raiga's names as well.

He's currently troubled by a crow that attacks him, and only him, at the same spot every morning as he walks to school with Nora.
