Shigeo Ijuin

Shigeo Ijuin, the self pro-claimed Torture Sommelier, is the main protagonist of the manga series Human Crazy University/On the Edge, specifically serving as the main protagonist of the Torture segments of the series.
As the "Torture Sommelier", he owns an underground organization, where the traumatized victims of various atrocious crimes (including rape, murders, blackmail, crimes against humanity, among others), can go to in order to track down the criminals that attacked them. Said criminals always get away with their heinous crimes scott-free. As a result, Shigeo believes that in some cases, only revenge can help his clients heal their wounds, and so makes it his duty to punish said criminals by capturing them, and killing them by gruesome means.
In Japanese, he is voiced by Takehito Koyasu. In English, he is voiced by either John Tague or Layton Montgomery.
==Appearance==
Shigeo is a Japanese man of average height and build with black hair. In almost all instances, with an exception of when he seeks vengence for his victims, his eyes are perpetually closed. When they are open, they appear as white with small pinhole-sized irises. 
He is always seen wearing a white shirt with a black bowtie and an olive-green vest, a pair of black pants, and black loafers.
==Personality==
Despite his occupation, Shigeo shows himself to be very noble. Whenever he speaks to his clients, he is genuinely kind and understanding towards them and their hardships. Additionally, whenever he captures his victims, before he proceeds with his torture, he always asks them if they regret what they've done, that way they can be spared.
True to his occupation however, Shigeo shows little mercy towards the criminals that he captures and tortures, though this is usually because said criminals admit showing little to no remorse for the crimes that they committed, and how they affected the lives of others. While torturing them, he takes sadistic pleasure in torturing them, and will insult them, and pull some of the same tricks and/or excuses they used to escape the law. 
In the episode Garrote's Chair, for example, his victim, a sleazy owner of an illegal porn website who blackmailed a young woman with revenge porn, claimed that his viewers had wanted to see him rape his victim, which had ironically only sullied his reputation. Shigeo then has those same viewers watch his torture, and ask them if they wanted him to die or live. Using the same reasoning of "giving the viewers what they want", he kills the victim, as they all voted for him to die.
