**Tozu** is one of the two higher ups of the Killing Game featured in Project: Eden's Garden. He is the host of the Killing Game, and the self pro-claimed headmaster of Eden's Garden Academy.

## Biography

**"The self-declared host of the Killing Game, Headmaster Tozu proclaims that he will bring salvation and redemption to all of the students attending Eden's Garden Academy. Despite his volatile demeanor, Tozu demonstrates surprising restraint when orchestrating the procedures of the Killing Game, almost as if his twisted rules have both structure and reason behind them. From what can be inferenced, there is definitely a man behind the mask."**
## Appearance

Tozu is a tall man of unknown age, who wears a cracked mask resembling a goat with a broken horn and red eyes. The area around his eye is gray, suggesting he wears a gray skin suit.

Tozu also wears white robes with a red straps crossed over it in the shape of an X. The upper robe has a zipper, which reveals another white robe underneath. It is also torn, further revealing the robe underneath. Finally, the edges of the upper robe are black. The underneath robe is a plain gray, but has a cut patten at the end of it in the shape of two intersecting rectangles.

Tozu wears white pants with gray, formal laced shoes.

## Personality

As a leader of the Killing Game, Tozu is a very clearly dangerous and sadistic man. Trapping 16 Ultimates in Eden's Garden Academy and forcing them to kill each other in order to escape, Tozu is a cruel person with an apparent lack of morals or any decency. Tozu even baits the cast by promising to let the Ultimates leave the room if they solve Cara's murder, only to happily reveal that he meant it literally, as they can't actually escape Eden's Garden Academy without resorting to murder, but are free to leave the Courtroom. Tozu reveals the Killing Game and all its horrific rules with glee, even calling the most cruel one where everyone except the blackened will be executed if they fail to discover the real culprit "lovely", as it gives everyone an incentive to participate, innocent or guilty. On top of his sadism, Tozu is seemingly very arrogant, calling himself the "Great and Powerful Tozu", and referring to himself as the students' superior. He even calls all the Ultimates "peasants" to emphaize his power over them and how little he values their lives. Narcissistic and monsterous, Tozu is clearly a great fit to run the Killing Game.

Despite his hostile nature, Tozu has a more human side to him. For once, despite his arrogance and sadism, Tozu speaks in a relatively affable and eloquent matter, perhaps to lower the guard of those who first hear of his voice from the speaker, right before Cara's body is found. He presents himself as a man of culture, once referencing Horace, an ancient Roman poet, when commenting on the fact that the first Closing Argument was only three acts. He also has a more humorous and trollish side to him to contrast his seriousness. For instance, when Cara's body is first revealed, he cries obviously fake tears, crying about how it was terrible how such a nice girl with potential was murdered. Another instance of Tozu's cruel sense of humor is when he jokes after zapping Grace during the beginning of Cara's trial for yelling to be let out, stating "If I wanted to see the braindead bicker, I'd just turn on the telly!" Despite his seemingly politeness and sense of humor, all it does is further demonstrate Tozu's wicked nature.

* "A measly three acts? Poor Horace would be beside himself!"

* "What makes you think the people in this room lack the heart to kill? Do you even know anything about them besides their names and Ultimate talents? If you do, then tell me: regarding killing, where do they stand? Are they okay with murder if it's for the greater good? Are they okay with murder if it gurantees their survival? Is where they're currently standing on the issue the same as where they're \*willing\* to stand? Go on. You've had a couple hours to get to know everyone. That's plenty of time to know their life stories, right?"
* "Really? I think it's one of our most beautiful rules. Everyone has an incentive to participate in this game, innocent or otherwise."

Most of you will die, no matter what...and yet, with every passing trial, you'll all cling to life more desperately......And that exact mindset is what causes more murders to happen! Aren't these rules simply brilliant? A perfect test of the limits of human compassion? I can't wait to see you all in cation! Ahahaha!"
* "\*Cough\* Well, now that you've become acquainted with our enforcer, Mara... If any of you kids...try to jeopardize the killing game, such as by attacking me......she'll be there to put an end to your schenanigans."
