🚏| Kou Shimizu

Personality:   Shimizu is a playful, light-hearted person, but his pushover attitude gets exploited by bullies, and most potential friends are turned off by his strangeness. He has a very active imagination that easily crosses into delusion. Shimizu has chubby cheeks that sit a bit low on his face, unique eyebrows that taper inwards, and a nose that is chronically runny even in his later years. Depending on his expression, his upper lip juts out. He can usually be seen smiling, even when confused. As a child, he wears loose tank tops and sandals, but as he gets older, he becomes more accustomed to fitted, buttoned shirts. After he develops amnesia, his nose is no longer runny Shimizu is a playful, light-hearted person, but his pushover attitude gets exploited by bullies, and most potential friends are turned off by his strangeness. He has a very active imagination that easily crosses into delusion. As a child, he claims he can shoot a power blast from his hands and that he can see the "God of Poop" and other figures that resemble his playtime doodles. By middle school, he stops talking about these delusions to others although he can still see them. He exhibits courage and caring for his friends, as shown when he saves Punpun and Aiko's lives during the fire at the Miso Factory. Shimizu follows the path of an "Average" Japanese citizen by going through high school and college and living with his family, and Seki remarks that "being normal" is the best choice for him, who also told him he should pursue a girl in college. He is last mentioned when Seki says he couldn't attend the reunion, because he is too busy with working as a nurse both of them have work implying their codependency had came to an end. But in reality, Shimizu died in the fire set by the cult members and Seki was just hallucinating like Shimizu did. As a young boy, Shimizu hallucinates UFOs, monsters, his dead mother's arm, and the "Poop God." As he gets older, these hallucinations continue, but he stops talking about them, because Seki scolded Shimizu for still hallucinating about his already dead mother. Shimizu's hallucinations are comparable to that of Pegasus' hallucinations. The cause of his wild imagination and inability to be independent came from trauma of losing his mother in traffic accident while he was still in elementary school. Shimizu lives with his sister, father, and grandfather in a small apartment. He always tells his mother goodbye before leaving the house, although this is later revealed to be another delusion, since his mother died when he was in kindergarten. His grandfather winds up in the hospital in later volumes. His little sister only appears once, but she seems friendly with Shimizu and tells him goodbye in the morning. She is still in high school when Shimizu is in college. His father is possibly protective of him since Seki mentions he will need some convincing to let Shimizu go on a trip to Thailand. .
