| 18 | |
| 19 | A fifteen year-old hero otaku who was given the powers of Ratman. His idolization of heroes began when he was very young, and the legendary superhero Shiningman saved him from a collapsing building. Crea insists that he was chosen to be Ratman because nobody in their right mind would guess that someone as small as him would be Ratman. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * AccidentalPervert: As Ratman, he saw Rio naked after she barged out of the bath on him, which [[PervertRevengeMode is the main reason she's after him]]. He later apologizes to her for it, and she forgives him. |
| 24 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Based on lab rats, specifically on the notion of their use in experiments. |
| 25 | * AntiHero: He is classified as a supervillain because he was forced to rob the Kizaki mansion for his debut as Ratman and because he beat the stuffing out of [=ANKaiser=], but he's not evil. |
| 26 | * AscendedFanboy: But not in the way he thought he'd be. |
| 27 | * BattleAura: When he loses control of his SuperPoweredEvilSide he becomes covered in an aura of black smoke. |
| 28 | * BerserkButton: Making fun of his height, heroes who don't act heroic, and people making fun of others' dreams. When his sisters are kidnapped and nearly killed by Yakuza, Ratman states that [[OneWingedAngel he didn't know what he would have done]] if they'd been hurt. |
| 29 | * BigEater: Due to transforming into Ratman. He burns through calories at an accelerated rate. |
| 30 | * BodyHorror: Later transformations are more controlled yet nevertheless transforms Shuto in new and monstrous ways. |
| 31 | * BreathWeapon: In his berserk state he can spit a powerful [[KamehameHadoken beam of energy]]. |
| 32 | * BrokenFaceplate: When Ratman gets excited or angry his faceplate splits into a mouth full of fangs. |
| 33 | * CluelessChickMagnet: Mirea, Rio, and Anzu have all displayed interest in him, but he has no idea about any of this, much to Mirea's annoyance. Shiki continually lampshades this. |
| 34 | * DarkIsNotEvil: As Ratman he is around six feet tall, dressed in what appears to be a black bodysuit and a ScarfOfAsskicking, and has a faceplate that morphs into a mouthful of fangs. He's also nicer than a lot of the superheroes. |
| 35 | * DespairEventHorizon: When photos of Mirea shopping with the Jackie soldiers turn up, Shuto promises to stop them from being published. When he discovers he's too late, however, he is thrown into such despair that he would have gone OneWingedAngel had Chihaya Sugimura not called and had the photos retracted, |
| 36 | * EyelessFace: As Ratman his "helmet" has no eyes, just red markings. |
| 37 | * FacialMarkings: Ratman's helmet has four jagged red stripes that connect in the front. In his berserk state a fifth one appears. |
| 38 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar on his back from [[spoiler:being crushed by a chunk of concrete]] when he was younger. |
| 39 | * HenshinHero: He uses the [[GadgetWatches APPEND GEAR]] to [[spoiler: activate his S-Genes and]] transform into Ratman. |
| 40 | * HeroicBuild: He's six feet tall and absolutely ''ripped'' as Ratman, which makes it that much harder to discern his identity considering the fact that he's a five foot high schooler with a GeekPhysique to match. |
| 41 | * LightEmUp: Through his [[ChekhovsSkill continuous imitating]] of Shiningman's transformation pose and [[FinishingMove killer move]], he can do it as well; his version is called "Shining Ray de Alter"(a mix of {{gratuitous foreign language}}s which could mean "Alternate Shining Ray"). |
| 42 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: Gender inverted and downplayed, he is MPGB of Mirea. |
| 43 | * MeaningfulName: As Ratman. Both refers to his small size and his job as Jackal's lab rat for their SuperPrototype. |
| 44 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: Despite working for a [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily "villainous"]] organization, Shuto acts more like TheCowl in his spare time, helping [[EnemyMine Rio]] solve crimes and hanging out with Fatman. Crea calls him out on it. |
| 45 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: When he gets angry or excited as Ratman his faceplate splits into a mouth full of fangs. |
| 46 | * ObliviousToLove: Doesn't seem to realize the feelings that Mirea has towards him. |
| 47 | * {{Otaku}}: Shuto constantly nerds out over anime and heroes, and is often picked on for it. |
| 48 | * OneWingedAngel: If Shuto becomes ''really'' angry his S-Genes overwhelm him and he transforms into a bestial, berserk form with claws on its hands and feet, different FacialMarkings and a long tail. [[spoiler:When Shuto thinks Sin has killed Mirea, his S-Genes kick into overdrive and he becomes a mindless monster that makes his previous berserk form seem tame.]] |
| 49 | * PowerIncontinence: Has difficulty controlling Ratman's transformations. |
| 50 | * {{Roofhopping}}: How Ratman gets around sometimes. |
| 51 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: As Ratman he has a long, badass-looking scarf. |
| 52 | * ShapeshifterWeapon: [[spoiler: By activating his S-Genes]] he can transform his arms into grotesque talons. |
| 53 | * SomethingPerson: Rat + Man. |
| 54 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: If Shuto is [[YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry truly furious]] his S-Genes will activate and he will transform into a [[OneWingedAngel bestial form]] but he won't [[AlternateIdentityAmnesia remember what happens afterwards]]. Its bloodlust is so great that even [[EvilCounterpart Unchain]] is utterly terrified of it, and Shuto's consciousness feels like he is being consumed by it. |
| 55 | * SuperPrototype: Crea claims Ratman is an experimental bio-weapon. |
| 56 | * SuperSenses: One of his powers, enabling him to track others across long distances. |
| 57 | * SuperStrength: His main ability as Ratman, though he also has SuperSpeed and SuperToughness. |
| 58 | * TenMinuteRetirement: He gives up being Ratman after losing control of his SuperPoweredEvilSide, but later returns. In the epilogue, though, he gives the identity up for good. |
| 59 | * TransformationTrinket: The [[GadgetWatches APPEND GEAR]], which looks like a watch. It's also [[FlawedPrototype prone to malfunctioning]]. |

| 61 | * WipeTheFloorWithYou: His SuperPoweredEvilSide does this to [=ANKaiser=]. |

| 169 | The Grandfather of Crea and Mirea. |
| 170 | ---- |

| 172 | * HiddenDepths: He actually knows and understands his granddaughter very well, and [[spoiler:the only real reason he's involved in mad science or supervillainy is because he feels her revenge plot is something she needs to go through with for her own sake.]] He also believed, correctly, that [[spoiler:Shouichiro was innocent all along.]] |
| 173 | * MadScientist: He looks the part more than his grandchildren. |

Soon after he's introduced, he uses his powers to save Shuto's life and they quickly become friends.
