Kanejou

Clothless

**Kanejou** is the main antagonist of the *Parallel Paradise* series. He is Youta's kendo rival who could not be beaten and mysteriously became the **Jealous God** in the parallel world that placed a curse on humanity.

## Personality

Kanejou is a twisted, deranged and downright sociopathic individual with no traces of remorse or restraint. Ever since his human days, Kanejou has engaged in foul plays in Kendo by stepping on Youta's foot and even striking on an unprotected area. Vain, cruel and extremely arrogant, he looks down on Youta and provokes him actively rubbing on his face that his attachment to fair play makes him weak and retorts to his scorn of cheating by asking what will he do to stop him.

Kanejou is obsessed with victory at whatever cost possible and his ego is so inflated that merely scoring points against him is offensive enough to anger him deeply. Authoritative and brutal, he resorts to violence and force to get his way. When he told Nishina to be his girlfriend and she declined, Kanejou tried to rape and hit her twice, stating that she had to do as ordered. When kicked by Youta after witnessing him in the act, Kanejou flared in rage, asking why he attacked him, evidencing his ingrained sense of self-worth, one that can act with absolute impunity and in disbelief that he is opposed in any fashion.

When Youta managed to secure his first ever official victory against Kanejou, his emotions boiled up to dangerously brutal levels to the point he kidnapped both Nishina and Youta's mom with the intention of provoking both into murder and betray the other for self benefit, all to punish Youta for defeating him once. This event exposes his deeply sadistic character as he had hoped to entertain himself watching the two women fight for their lives and was displeased when this didn't happen.

It is later revealed that Kanejou is an emotionally broken person who has suffered for years ever since his childhood. With his mother dying in his younger days while his father abandoned them before birth, Kanejou has been a lonely existence who knows not of love due to regularly moving between relative houses. One such caretaker was physically abusive Kendo instructor who beats him repeatedly under the pretense of training. Knowing not the concept of love and living in a violent environment has warped Kanejou into the cruel and depraved person he is at present.

## Appearance

Kanejou is a tall and muscular young male with long, messy black hair. Even since his middle school years, he is noticeably taller than Youta by at least a head of difference. What his face looks like is unknown as it is typically obscured, although his eyes are visible, and is normally seen with enraged and even psychotic expressions.
