!Masao

An obnoxious high school second year. Prone to whining and moaning about his lot in life despite others being much worse off. [[spoiler:Another Shiki victim who rises.]]
---
!!Tropes that apply to Masao:
* [[spoiler:AlasPoorScrappy: Even though he's annoying, his death is still a bit of a tearjerker. With the rest of the Shiki being slaughtered and dawn about to break, he heads back to the only place of safety he can think of - his old house. He pleads for his sister to let him in, and she does...whilst hiding behind the door, hefting a golf club with which to stave in his skull.]]
* Gonk
* [[spoiler:HarmlessVillain: Despite all his bad qualities, he apparently couldn't bring himself to kill innocent humans, which Megumi bitches him out for.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: A jerk to pretty much everyone except Tohru.
* TheScrappy: He's ugly, selfish, prone to {{Wangst}} and a complete jerk who likes to blame all his problems on other people. He's also this in-universe, as most people in the village can't stand him.
* {{Wangst}}: Pretty much his whole character is dedicated to whining about trivial things.
