## History

### Early Life

Trigger Warning*The information below has been marked with a trigger warning. Please exercise caution while reading the below information.*Official DescriptionThe content below is an official description or summary written by the creators, and has not been rewritten.
Masaru's mother was a maid for a rich family. He was an accident, conceived from when his mother and the head of the family had an affair. Once his biological father found out that his mom was pregnant, he shunned and fired her. Masaru's mom found another job at a local hotel working for room service. Masaru and Kimiko lived there since his mom got a discount on it for working there.

Masaru became fascinated with helping people and was always a kind boy. To help out his mother, he got jobs as a young Butler but was always poorly treated because of his mom's reputation. Once while he was working, Masaru was sexually assaulted by an older woman. He suppressed this as just her giving orders and denied the possibility that it was rape. Masaru confided in his mom but she told him that the police wouldn't believe him since "males don't get raped, females do".

## Creation and Development

### Creation

Little is currently known about Masaru's creation. When the game was set in America, Masaru's name was originally Edward. Masaru's design was inspired by a mixture of Kirumi Tojo and Korekiyo Shinguji.

### Scrapped Content

During the killing game Masaru was planned to have an arc surrounding his assault, and coming to terms with what happened to him. He would later accept that he was assaulted and begin not to feel guilty anymore. At some point in his arc he would have confided to Sachiko about what happened to him, which was later overheard by Mariko Reiki, who had previously developed a bond with Sachiko. Having taken something Masaru said out of context, Mariko began to work towards a plan to murder him, while simultaneously taking advantage of the motive to escape with Sachiko. After he was murdered the crime scene would have been tampered with and made to look like Chihiro Fujisaki's body discovery.

## Appearance

Masaru is a tall young adult with long dark green hair and light gray eyes. Masaru has a middle part, with his hair obscuring both of his ears. He wears a black ring around one of his fingers. Sachiko describes Masaru as handsome.

Throughout the killing game Masaru is most commonly seen wearing a formal tuxedo. His attire consists of a black tailcoat which flows past his knees and has spider web patterns along his upper left right arm, as well as near his left knee. Underneath his tailcoat, Masaru wears a V-Shaped gray vest with golden buttons, similar to the ones around the cuffs of his tailcoat, and a golden strap which stretches underneath his tailcoat. In addition to this Masaru wears a white button-up shirt, a black tie with a spider web pattern along the left side of it, a pair of gray pants, and a pair of knee-length white boots.
