## Debut

### Novel

Danganronpa Kirigiri

**Senshi Kadomi (門美戦士)** is a supporting character introduced in Danganronpa Kirigiri Volume 7. He is a member of the Detective Library that has earned the Zero Class, thus making him one of its higher-ranking members. Senshi's full rank is 920, with his specialty being robbery. He is one of the five detectives that participated in the Final Duel Noir.

## History

### Prior Life

In the past, Senshi was arrested for a crime he did not commit and forced to serve five years in prison. It's heavily implied that his framing came about due to Mikado Shinsen's having an involvement in it. As a result, Senshi became bitter and desired power to control others. After he came out of prison, Senshi became a detective registered in the Detective Library, working his way up to becoming a Zero Class detective.

During this time, he came to know about Mikado and his Victims Catharsis Committee, and their Chairman's death. Wanting the legacy for himself, Senshi traveled to the Final Duel Noir at Sirius Observatory.

### Final Duel Noir

Senshi arrives to the location first, but is unable to enter without for more people arriving. Thus, he is forced to wait for Kanji Yuhain, Shiroko Yukimura, Kyoko Kirigiri, and Yui Samidare to arrive. When the latter three get there, they aren't aware of who Senshi is, but Kanji introduces him as a colleague and someone also of Zero rank. Senshi just dismisses three as just 'a woman and two kids' and is glad since it means less rivals for him. Kyoko deduces that Mikado's legacy is just a center piece for the true culprit's motives. Senshi says they can't proceed further until everyone registers in a device at the door. Such a device recognizes a vein pattern and once everyone finishes, does the door finally open.

However, before they can proceed, Kyoko points out a buried light in the floor. Still, even after she unscrews the bolt to it, it won't come undone. Instead it seems to be covered in ice instead of glass. Shiroko hurries them along the passage before they can delve deeper into it. When the five detectives got to the next room, they see a pillar of ice encasing a black box. They try to keep their door open so that they can escape, but an intercom noise started to ring so loud that they closed the door to silence the noise. They also notices handcuffs connected to long chains that connect through all rooms together. If they want to proceed with this game, they need to put on the handcuffs. Once all were wearing the shackles they gathered at the pillar of ice. Senshi asked if anyone had a lighter, but no one came forward (though Yui did have one on her). As such, he pulls out a gun and fires at the pillar. However, the ice is too thick and it fails. From there, Senshi and Kanji head into their rooms.

When Senshi came out again, he discovered Kanji had a lighter and attacked him, the noise drawing everyone else out of their rooms as well. He noticed that Kanji's money had also been knocked away from him. Kanji told him to stop, but Senshi kicked him away and took the money. Using the lighter he lit a bill on fire, and it easily burned away. Proving that the bills were coated with some substance that made them burn easier. Senshi demanded Yui cooperate, but Shiroko defended her and told her to go with her own discretion. Angered, Senshi goes for his gun, but realizes its missing. Kanji stole it when he was kicked away and, while also holding his frame to line up the shot, was about to shoot Senshi. The shot, however, hit the wall and with that the gun was out of ammo. Kanji then destroyed the gun, thus preventing its use. Kanji states he's not giving up his money, but Senshi replies that he doesn't want to either, but that box contains Mikado's assets. Enough money to shake the world. Shiroko asked if he was out to rule the world, which gets Senshi to say he rather be on the side that controls rather than be the one getting controlled. After that, he went back into his room.

The next day, Senshi arrives on the scene of Shiroko's room, where the occupant had been murdered (and has a knife in her shoulder), and was late since he took a while doing his makeup. After making a morbid joke concerning Shiroko's body, he and the others get to work investigating. They conclude that the knife was coated with the poison listed on the letter for the Duel Noir. Senshi believes a master key was used to enter the room by the culprit and kill Shiroko, but both Yui and Kanji believe that it didn't fit Mikado's style. Kyoko supports the other two and that the culprit didn't come through the door, citing the frost at the door didn't have footprints leading to Shiroko. Senshi refutes this by saying the culprit could have killed before the frost or the frost covered it up. Kyoko admits to that possibility but refuses to admit that the culprit couldn't have killed through the door way. Senshi grabs her by the shirt and demands she explains why she's so certain. Kyoko reveals that she has been watching the doorways all night from the chain hoops, which is why she's so tired. Senshi, irritated, decided to drop the matter.

Kanji reasoned the culprit was still in the room, but their search turns up empty, aside from an empty water bottle by the door. It's then that Senshi has come up with a theory of his own. Basically, the culprit went outside in the blizzard, was invited inside by Shiroko and that give the culprit a chance to kill her. When it came to the method of escape, the culprit used the empty water bottle left as the scene to to stop the windows from closing, snuck out, and then pushed the bottle out so that it could close (though during this, Yui notes the room's length shouldn't have allowed the bottle to reach the door). Senshi believes that Shiroko wouldn't have invited a stranger into her room. Thus, the only explanation left is that the culprit is someone she was familiar with. Senshi points the finger to Yui being the culprit since, according to his reasoning, the culprit had to be in chain length in order to enter Shiroko's room. Yui tries to refute, but ultimately has to call on Kyoko to help. Kyoko defends Yui and reasons that its impossible since the chains would never be able to reach give anyone enough reach with the observatory's architecture in play. Thus, they are forced to consider that a third party might be in involved. When its suggested the culprit might be hiding somewhere near Building B, near its entrance, both Kanji and Senshi go off to investigate.

Outside of their rooms, all four would investigate until noon, where they take a break to eat it. When the subject goes about the black box, Kyoko brings up the idea of using their chains to use as a literal 'chain' saw. As such, the rest agree to it and begins to shave off the ice with such technique. However, midway to it, Senshi stops and says that he will be taking that box. Kanji protests, but Senshi knocks him out with a kick to the head. Yui tells him not to be violent or else she won't cooperate, but Senshi just says he'll get Kyoko to do it in that case. Yui wants to know why he is obsessed with Mikado's legacy, and Senshis responds that he wants to rule the world instead of being ruled over. He says he's been used so many times in the past, he just wants to get even and be on the dominating side for once. Senshi admits he was once thrown in jail for five years for someone's else crime, causing Yui to be dumbfounded since he was a Zero class detective. Senshi responded that, while he doesn't know why he's so good at being a detective, he realized he can use such talent to try and rule the world, and even discovered Mikado. It's then that it hits Yui, that Senshi was one of the many people whose lives were ruined as a result of Mikado's actions. Senshi hopes that Yui realizes the 'truth': that its okay to use power to control others. Senshi declares he'll be the one getting that legacy and use Mikado's organization as he's sees fit, becoming ecstatic at the thought.

However, Kyoko points out that Senshi was nowhere near the level of Mikado since he lacks Mikado's 'crystal-clear' madness. Senshi heads back into his room, thus leaving the two girls about to continue the saw work whilst, Kanji slowly wakes up and heads into his room to recover. Eventually, as Kyoko and Yui took a break to investigate more/get some rest, Senshi ordered them to go back to work, thus making the two girls go back to chipping away the pillar. When Kyoko collapsed from a fever occurring from staying up all night, Senshi allowed Yui to take her back to her room (since he has no use for ill slaves). From there, Yui goes back to working with Kanji as Senshi oversees them. When the deadline to head back into their room approaches, there's only 30cm of ice left to shave off. Senshi orders them not to touch it until tomorrow on his word. Thus, the trio breaks off for their rooms.

### Senshi's Fate

The next day, Kyoko had recovered from her fever and met Yui when they got out of their rooms. She was ashamed of herself for getting sick, but Yui reassured not to be so hard on herself. They went to check up on the others, only to find Senshi dead in the same way Shiroko had been. Senshi's body would have later been destroyed in the blast following the destruction of Sirius Observatory.

During Kyoko's reasoning for why Yui was the culprit for the Duel Noir, the former also deduces that it wasn't Yui that killed Senshi. Instead, Kyoko states that Kanji was the one to kill Senshi in order to get the legacy without having to fight for it. She believes that Yui got Kanji to do it by suggesting it while they were at work on the pillar, with there being multiple chances for Yui to suggest the trick to Kanji without him knowing. When Yui says says that it can't be true since Senshi would have made a commotion, even if Kanji took advantage of the trip. Kyoko notes that Kanji could mixed the drugged water with the regular water when they weren't looking since they were sharing the food and Senshi would've gotten the drugged water instead. Yui points out if this was a copycat, then how could have Kanji killed Senshi the same way without being the culprit, who was the only one with access to the poison and knives. Kyoko refutes by saying that Kanji could've taken the knife from Shiroko's body, stabbed Senshi and when morning came, after ushering the two of them out, took the knife to place back in Shiroko's body so that they would be unaware that he had done something like that.

## Appearance

Senshi was a muscular man that had short, cropped hair and a crescent shaped scar on his face. Senshi wore a sloppy military jumper that served to emphasize his muscles, and thick boots. Contrasting that, Senshi also has long eyelashes, blush on his cheeks and wore red lipstick.

## Personality

Of the five detectives in the second Duel Noir at Sirius Observatory, Senshi is the most aggressive, rude and short-tempered of the lot, having no qualms with beating up an acquaintance of his or threatening to beat up minors into doing labor work for him, even after they helped him by giving him food. While his rank does prove his capability, he is overtly arrogant in his own detective skills, to the point he even ordered Kyoko to shut up after he believed he defeated her argument. When going over his reasoning, it was noted he seemed to be enjoying breaking down the case in front of an audience (suggesting a flair for the dramatics) and got annoyed with Kanji when he interrupted Senshi at one point. However, if the argument is solid, Senshi will back down and even go along working with competition to find the 'third party' responsible.

Senshi's prior experience with being arrested falsely, has left him bitter and under the belief that it was okay to 'control others'. He desired to acquire Mikado's legacy and control the Victims Catharsis Committee, now on the side of the oppressors. Senshi's bringing a gun for self-defense showcases both a sense of foresight, but also a lack of care about the law. Senshi's use of wearing make-up publicly shows he does care about his personal appearance, and has enough self-confidence to take up something that others might dismiss as solely female activity.

### Yui Samidare & Kyoko Kirigiri

Senshi initially dismisses both as being just two little girls, and no real threat to his chances of getting Mikado's legacy. He's often rude to them and has occasionally even threatened them with harm in order to get them to comply with his demands or to get them to be silent, for example his debate against Kyoko concerning Yui being the culprit. Likewise, the duo didn't like him because of his demeanor and actions, especially with his motivation being becoming the next Mikado Shinsen, something which Kyoko coldly stated he was under qualified for.

### Kanji Yuhain

While Senshi and Kanji were acquainted with each other, neither really liked the other and were rivals in their attempt to get Mikado's legacy. Throughout the Duel Noir, Senshi frequently beat up Kanji, and even knocked him out at one point, either because Kanji opposed him or because he caught him not aiding 'the group'. In turn, Kanji had no qualms with murdering Senshi the second night in order to acquire Mikado's legacy without incident.

### Shiroko Yukimura

Shiroko disliked Senshi, mostly for his aggressive and arrogant attitude towards herself and the girls. Senshi viewed her as just another obstacle in his way of obtaining the legacy of Mikado and had no qualms with wanting to threaten Shiroko and Yui with his gun (if Kanji hadn't stolen it) to force them to comply with his demands. When Shiroko died, Senshi made a cruel joke about what might happen to her kids and that Shiroko was a 'cheeky thin Mom'.
