Shinya Kurai

Shinya Kurai (倉井 シンヤ) is a major antagonist in Mogeko Castle. He was Yonaka Kurai's older brother and awaited her as she tried to go back home.
== Physical Description ==
Shinya had short black hair with an ahoge, fair skin, and gray eyes. He wore a gakuran which consisted of a black coat with a mandarin collar, five golden buttons, black trousers, and black dress shoes. When he was in his murderous state, he would have bright red eyes with black pupils.
== Personality ==
When Shinya was first introduced in Yonaka Kurai's flashback, he appeared to be the type that spaces out. He loved Yonaka, but when she met him right after escaping from Mogeko Castle, he wanted to kill her, causing her to run away and end up back where she had just fled from. It appeared this bloodthirsty personality is not who he truly was; during Mogeko Castle's happy ending, he returned to his old self after Yonaka stabbed him, just before he died.
== Background ==
Shinya left his family for a certain period of time, though it is unknown as to why. He seemed to have left when Yonaka Kurai was in junior high and was gone for a few years, since Yonaka was already a second-year high school student by the time he came back home. The reason for why he chose to murder his parents while Yonaka was away is currently unknown.

==== Yonaka Kurai ====
Yonaka was Shinya's younger sister. Yonaka dearly loves and admires him, to the point of styling her hair in a manner to match that of her brother's. She is known to like him an "uncomfortable" amount, her feelings ranging from sisterly to romantically incestuous at times. The two share a madness - a madness more prevalent in Shinya - but also present in Yonaka. At the end of Mogeko Castle, it is revealed that he wanted to kill Yonaka but also loved her almost as much as she loved him. Shinya succeeded in murdering Yonaka in Bad End VII.
== Trivia ==
* The kanji "kurai" means "community warehouse" or "town cellar" while Shinya means "deep night" (a term for the hours between 12pm-2am). 
** "Kurai" is a homophone for "dark." In the Japanese "surname-first" style of reading names, his name would read "a dark deep night."
** Both his sister and him have names making a wordplay on "night."
* When asked if Shinya knew Hakuchu, Deep-Sea Prisoner clarified they do not know each other; they simply just share similar designs. 
* In Funamushi Private Deep-Sea Academy, Shinya is also deceased. However, he comes around as a ghost every now and then.
* Shinya's genderbend name would remain the same.
