Shintarou Kisaragi

Shintarou Kisaragi, also known as Red_S_7, is the main protagonist from the Kagerou Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mekakushi Dan Group Member No. 7, Shintarou is a hikikomori with an IQ of 168. He dropped out in his first year of high school. Since then, he didn't leave the house until two years later. He's Momo's older brother.
Shintarou's IQ enables him to have something similar to photographic memory, so he could remember anything and everything, which is a benefit with thorns. Since everything in the world seemed to have obvious answers, Shintarou had an apathetic personality. He is also very fidgety, even in present-day. After Ayano's death, he began to regret losing her, trying to understand her true feelings of why she leaped off of the building. Later on, after two years had passed, he became hopelessly addicted to the internet and even states that he would die without it. He forces himself to remember Ayano and is afraid of forgetting her, because of this he purposely avoids contact with people and refused to move forward.
Although Shintarou was arrogant and selfish during middle school, he changed drastically after becoming a NEET. Since he is actually very weak, Ene's presence was so overwhelming that he could not do anything but accept her.

* Shintarou and Momo also have an unnamed grandfather, referred to in Kagerou Daze VI -over the dimension-:
** (in Shintarou's POV): This was the sound used on TV shows to represent someone's pulse. Some kind of EKG ...? I had heard it who knows how many times before. When my grandfather was admitted to the hospital. When my sister almost drowned in the sea. That, and one other time.
* Shintarou's gamer username is shown to be Red_S_7 in the 2019 gamer merchandise.
