## History

### Before Killing Game

Before he entered Precept's Peak, he was a member of Phoenix Foundation. The Phoenix Foundation is a group of those siding with hope.

Kego killed Akira's grandmother, Sumiko, due to her spreading despair through the novels she ghostwrote.

### Killing Game

#### Chapter 2: Beyond the Surface lies a Deadly Sin

Once the second floor of Precept's Peak Academy is opened, Kego, alongside Aruma and Narumi, discover the garden. Once Ayumu and Seishi join them, it's discovered that the garden (and later the ice rink) can only be opened by scanning one's student handbooks. Specifically, only male student's handbooks can open the garden and only female student's handbooks can open the ice rink. It is made evident that Kego can not reach the handbook scanners himself.

## Relationships

### Ayumu Fujimori

Kego shows an interest in Ayumu. After Misuzu and Kasumi fought because of the shrine she made for Nico and Maiko, Ayumu asks Kego about why he spends so much time in the garden. Kego answers that he has secrets, just like Ayumu, implying that he knows about the truth of Ayumu's gender.

Since the game is unfinished, it is unknown what relationship they had after Kego is found out alive.

## Trivia

* Kego was actually in a coma, and got replaced for a fake doll by **Narumi Osone,** the second mastermind.
* He is the shortest student.
