Musashi Inagawa

"*Let me tell ya something, it's that when we're dealing with actual batshit insanity like this, I have to remind myself that it's all just one giant snafu, but then I immediately realize that yep, it's all happening... I need to a damn drink.*"
—Musashi Inagawa

**Musashi Inagawa** (稲川 武蔵. *Inagawa Musashi*) is a student of Class 1-E located in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and he is particularly infamous for his rather brash personality and acting like a typical school delinquent. Being Kunugigaoka's delinquent, he would usually get himself in fights and would often leave his classes in order to focus more or less on being himself. That would soon come to bite him in the back when he is transferred to Class 1-E mostly for breaking the school's rules but more importantly, because he neglected his studies. At first, he would struggle during his time in Class 1-E, but soon, he started to thrive in it, managing to form a school gang with himself being the gang leader. This gang would be known as the "Red Devils", and would be a pain for pretty much every student and student in Kunugigaoka. Now being involved with Class E's assassination of an entity that destroyed the moon called Korosensei, it would be an understatement that to Musashi, the moment he can kill that monster, he would more richer than Mansa Musa (not accounting the Japanese yen with the currency from the Mali Empire that is), and more likely, he able to have the qualities of a man should be; strong and wealthy.

## Appearance

What can best describe Musashi Inagawa in his physical appearance is based on one thing; his hair. Due in part because his hair is a pompadour, Musashi is often bullied due to his hairstyle and is one of the reasons why he got sent to Class 1-E. Other than his pompadour, he has slightly tanned skin and looks to be tall, with a muscular build. Other than that, he has purple eyes with black eye liner.

## Personality

A brash and loud individual, Musashi Inagawa is best characterized by his aggressive personality and is regarded for being dangerous, which is not helped by his history of harming other classmates back when Musashi Inagawa used to be in Class C. Foul mouthed by all accounts, that might be the reason why Musashi hasn't been well liked, even by his fellow classmates, to the point that Korechika Hōjō is said to have called Musashi a "criminal in the making" by his own words.

In that type of environment that Musashi has grown up in, it's of no surprise that he embodies what makes up a delinquent: his aggressive behavior.
