Minoru Mushanokoji

Minoru Mushanokoji (武者小路 みのる, Mushanokōji Minoru) is a part-time worker and the serial killer known as the Hand Collector (ハンドコレクター, Hando korekutā).
==Physical description==
Mushanokoji has short fair hair and a mustache. He also has a small bird tattoo under his left wrist.
==History==
Mushanokoji killed three people—two men and a woman—by piercing their hearts before he cut off their hands to satisfy his obsession with hands; he stored the hands in a fridge in his room. For this reason, he was dubbed the "Hand Collector."
One night, Mushanokoji was stopped and searched by Omito Kawasemi as he seemed suspicious. Kawasemi found weapons in his bag, and Mushanokoji dropped his bag and fled into an abandoned factory. Kawasemi and Yamane followed him inside.
In the factory, Mushanokoji committed suicide by stabbing himself in the chest. Yamane was the first to find his body and manipulated it to make it look like he was murdered by the Hand Collector cover up the fact that he lost his handcuffs. He took off Mushanokoji's blood-splattered shirt, cut off his hands, wrapped him in a cloth, and placed him in a truck. The truck then unwittingly transported Mushanokoji's corpse to the Tokyo Central Art Museum.
