**Emile** (**エーミール**) is an active member of ○○ no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!. He is perceived as the most educated member of the group, having shown his extensive knowledge on various topics in commentary videos. However, he is also quite eccentric. There are plenty of running jokes based on his behavior, such as his obsession with mandalas, the constellation Orion, getting married, handing out bananas and Bisco (a Japanese brand of sandwich biscuits), calling rice "bread", and so on.

## Personality

Emile is rather soft, but does not get tampered with easily. He has a strong mind and is good at explaining things. However, he sometimes can't grasp his surroundings well and has a tendency to act strangely. Emile is generally bad at video games, and is often made fun of by other members for it. That said, he does take advantage of his intellect to try fooling the other members and creating strategies to win.

## Appearance

Emile was initially depicted as a Yukkuri head with brown hair and eyes, wearing glasses. His official standing picture depicts him as an adult man with a light complexion. He has light brown hair (blond in some illustrations) with side-swept bangs and blank white eyes with no visible pupils or irises. He wears a white shirt with a green tie and a brown waistcoat, grey trousers, and brown shoes. In some TRPG videos, he wears a brown sweater vest instead of a waistcoat, and wears a pair of glasses with opaque lenses as opposed to having blank eyes.

## Fictional Counterparts

Below are some depictions of Emile in various works.

### *Kaikou*

In his and Tonton's gameplay of this TRPG, Emile plays the role of **Muto Hiroshi** (**武藤 ひろし**), a 42-year-old detective who gets caught up with fighting evil. He is enthusiastic and has a strong sense of justice. However, he struggles to get close to his teenaged daughter ever since his wife mysteriously disappeared. Hiroshi has a slicked back greyish brown hair and eyes of the same color. He wears a blue suit with a white shirt and green tie underneath, and carries a brown coat.

### *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

Not much is known about Emile in this story. However, he is known as the person who often had conversations with Gruppen from the beginning of the story, indicating that he may be working with him. Unlike the visual novel, his appearance in the manga is different from his standing picture. He has dark brown hair and slanted black eyes. His waistcoat is a different shade of brown and his tie is either blue or purple.

### *Hell Doctor KuRaRe's Science Can Solve Everything!!*

In this manga, Emile is a professor who became the new principal of Utsu-kun's elementary school, helping KuRaRe get reinstated as a teacher after previously getting fired. His motto is to be thorough, but he is clearly lacking in some areas. He seems to have a conniving side, and often hides weapons when making a deal with his adversaries. His appearance is different from his standing picture. His hair is slightly longer with slightly wavy tips and his eyes are black. He wears a three-piece suit (colors tend to vary between illustrations, but they're mostly shades of brown) and a monocle. He also carries a swordstick.

## Etymology

Emile's name seems to be a reference to the character Emil Sinclair from the novel *Demian* by Hermann Hesse, as well as the Finnish military leader Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.
