**Shigoku Kyou** (至極京, *Shigoku Kyō*?) is the main antagonist of *Juujika no Rokunin*. He is the primary catalyst for many events in the series, as well as the archenemy of Uruma Shun.

Kyou is the leader of Uruma's group of bullies who tormented him in his childhood. He sets himself apart as completely apathetic, cruel, and psychopathic compared to the other four. After Uruma had murdered all of Kyou's followers, he decided to take revenge on Kyou himself. However, it was later revealed that Kyou has a large group of followers, particularly the "researchers" (one of them being Jun) who are sent by Kyou to deal with Uruma. After five years, Kyou has grown in power and has more followers in his club.

## Appearance

Kyou has an overall androgynous appearance with neck-length black hair and bangs that reach to his eyes. Uruma noted that his eyes are barren and completely void of any emotion.

Five years after his encounter with Uruma, Kyou possesses a scar over his right eye and his hair has grown longer, reaching up to his shoulders. He also appears to have grown taller.

## Personality

Kyou presents himself as calm and logical while also being incredibly cruel, twisted in nature, and sadistic, as evident by his disturbing fascination with the concepts of life and death. His belief is that the greatest action a human can perform is killing another human, and his primary goal being to kill an individual (whether directly by his own hands or indirectly through somebody else) for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

While he is charismatic and capable of leading the other boys, Kyou has expressed no emotional concern or attachment towards the other four bullies; he didn't hesitate to push Hiro Madoka (someone he's known since elementary school) down a cliff and in the path of an incoming car, something that could've potentially killed him. He also casually gashed Kuga with a pen after the latter pinned him down, permanently scarring him.

After the deaths of the other bullies at Uruma's hands, Kyou showed no visible sadness or concern, even at the thought that he was potentially next; rather he was interested in seeing how that series of events would play out.

Notably, while Uruma was "exorcising the demon" out of Hiro, he called Kyou "the worst demon of them all".

Unlike the other four bullies, Kyou is far smarter and physically stronger than he appears to be. For example, it was mentioned that he was a prodigy at a local school and that he won a black belt in Judo, making him one of the most powerful people in the story. Later on, it's revealed that he also has a group of supporters who may or may not be just as bad as him, showcasing a highly manipulative and charismatic aspect of him akin to that of a cult leader, able to make ordinary people succumb to their worst impulses and follow him blindly and loyally. This shows that Kyou is already far worse a threat than he appears to be.

It's shown later on that Kyou isn't without capable of showing shock when something unexpected happens that interferes with his plans. He was notably annoyed when Uruma's grandfather interrupted their experiment and freed Kakeru, and even showed noticeable fear for the first time when he killed one of his minions swiftly.
