On top of his head, Eiji wears a black hat with a purple ribbon, multiple black and purple feathers, four purple flowers, and a net which flows over his left eye.

He appears to have two bite marks along the side of his neck.

His attire consists of: a dark grayish-purple shirt with rolled up sleeves, a purple ascot which tucks behind a black vest with three pockets along his chest and sides, and a nametag with his signature. Behind his vest, Eiji wears a short black cape that is attached with golden buttons along his shoulders. In addition to this, he wears a pair of black pants and a pair of black shoes. In one of his vest's pockets, Eiji carries a golden pocket watch. The chain of this is neatly tucked into his vest.

## History

### Early Life

Little is currently known about Eiji's life before joining the Ark Foundation's experiment.

### The Ark Foundation

Eiji was one of eighty students invited to participate in a four-week paid experiment ran by the Ark Foundation, an organization whose main focus was unlocking the potential for humans to reach the peak in their respective fields. At an unknown point in time, Eiji and fifteen other Ultimates attempting to board their flights were kidnapped by Jakob Nowak, an instructor who worked with the Ark Foundation. Sometime later, Eiji woke up on the Ark, the main location for the experiment. Afterward, he explored the ship and tried to find an escape.

Soon after Akio concludes his investigations, an anonymous announcement gathered everyone to the function room on the first floor. At arrival, they met a trio who called themselves "The Siren's". They then revealed everyone would be forced to participate in a killing game, otherwise they would never be able to leave the ship. After they explained the rules of the game and class trial's, everyone split up for the day.

## Talent and Abilities

### Ultimate Undertaker

Born into the well-known Nakamura family, Eiji was raised to work in the family's funeral home since early childhood. Surrounded by death for years, Eiji learned to be calm around dead bodies. After his fathers death, his mother used Eiji's services. He works directly with his twin sister Himari, who runs the shrine.

## Creation and Development

In early outlines of the script, Eiji was the support character for Amai Kimoto, the games protagonist at that time. However, he was later replaced with Akio. During the development of the prologue, Eiji's appearance was changed numerous times. For the majority of his early designs he used to have blonde hair, though after a poll taken on the games Discord server, his hair was changed to lilac. Although the general clothing for his design remained the same in his final design, there are various differences. Instead of a vest, Eiji used to wear a green long-sleeved jacket with a handkerchief in its chest pocket, and wore a longer cape. His hat had less decorations and was similarly green in colour. The net attached to his hat used to have a dot pattern, and covered both of his eyes instead of one. In addition to this, he used to wear a silver ring, had a stud piercing, and had gray eyes.

## Trivia

* Eiji is transgender.
* In the very very first outline of the script, Eiji was the support character to Amai. He would have been a mortician, and would have been much more "bigger" with his personality and dynamics. However, the direction taken for him was quickly scrapped and replaced with Akio, as the creator didn't enjoy how he had been outlined.
* Eiji's twin sister, Himari, is the Ultimate Shrine Maiden and was considered for the Ark Foundation. However, she either rejected the invitation or did not attend as she is wheelchair bound and does not enjoy travelling via boat.
* Eiji was originally going to have his eyes closed at all times, a popular anime trope. This was later given to Prisha Ahuja instead.
* Eiji's hair colour was originally blonde. After a poll taken on the official Discord server his hair was changed to lilac, which won against pure white.
* Eiji was originally going to be a CIS man who wore feminine clothing, meant to show how he was forward thinking despite his very traditional dress sense.
* When the cast was remodeled and a lot less of the cast were Japanese, Eiji along with Syoubu Eguchi were almost going to change nationalities. Eiji would of become Romanian to tie in with a vampire joke, but was later decided against as the creator felt it was too heavy-handed.
* Eiji's original personal info was as follows:
	+ He was 170cm, or around 5'7".
	+ His weight was 57kg.
	+ His chest size was 25".
	+ His blood type was B.
