History Characters / DeadTube

The male lead of the series, an unassuming teenager whose only pastime and activity is being the Cameraman for the school’s Film Research Club. One day he is asked out by one of his school’s most famous beauties to film her for 48 hours non-stop. Her request ends up being quite literal as she has him follow her home, even filming her using the bathroom and sleeping. This eventually leads to him filming a murder enacted by the hands of that same beauty. But rather than experiencing terror, he finds he actually ''enjoyed'' filming it; discovering a sense of beauty in her acts of violence that he just can't seem to find anywhere else. The boy must come to grips with what he really wants to film... and that he isn’t such a normal person after all.

[[spoiler:In truth Mizuno is someone who only cares for her acting and the money she can get for it, openly accepting the perversions enacted by the Film Research Club for the money and fame DEAD Tube could bring, even willing to be 'raped' by three fellow members in order to instigate Machiya into acting for her sake. She too secretly mocked him behind his back, thinking Machiya was just a sheep]].

* TeacherStudentRomance: [[spoiler:A Dark take on one, and the beginning of her madness]].

* EasilyForgiven: Matsumura is perfectly willing to bury the hatchet with many of her former enemies, especially when she's in the position to [[OnlyInItForTheMoney personally profit from it.]] The most egregious example being Justice Man, who she invites into her home for another buisness proposition even after he had both brutalized and sexually assulted her. She also backs out of killing Toshio for filming and raping her during the DEAD Tube House event once he made it clear he planned to fiscally compensate her afterwards.
* EnemyMine:

A member of the resurrected Film Research Club who, much like his fellow club members, idolizes Machiya. [[spoiler: He wrote the original script for DEAD Tube Neo, which his fellow club members and the currently unknown creator of the DEAD Tube Neo app used to lure Machiya out of seclusion. Like Mizuno before him, he was specifically spared by Machiya at the close of the DEAD Tube Neo arc so he could be of use to him in the future.[[/spoiler]]

* PintSizedPowerhouse: [[spoiler:The real Crazy Rascal, the little girl, comes back later in the series to assist Miwa in the zombie escape game, showing her in full costume, being extremely strong for her size]].

Matsumura Kaoru's co-worker, who participated in the DEAD Tube House event.

* CutenessProximity: Towards Rascal, commenting that she's the kind of woman who can do anything if it's for someone cute. [[spoiler: She takes Rascal in as an employee after DEAD Tube House.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: She's the bustiest member of the main cast while also being ''the'' deadliest combatant in the story.

* BoobsOfSteel: Inverted in the DEAD Tube House arc. Matsumura easily has the biggest bust out of her allies going into the event, but she is far from the most dangerous combatant. That honor belongs to [[spoiler:Crazy Rascal, who is a literal child.]]

[[spoiler: Surprisingly averted as she has kept her head for now.]]

[[spoiler: She joins Mashiro in the ring to block the way of the spectators trying to escape to the other side of the arena.]] Could also be considered a [[VillainTeamUp Villain Team-Up]] depending on [[EvilVersusEvil how you view them]].
* The DEAD Tube House arc sees her team-up with Justice Man once more, even after their first buisness venture as content creators ended in betrayal.

* KarmicRape: Matsumura ends up being the target of this trope on ''three'' seprate occasions and counting. First by Mashiro, who [[AssShove sodimized]] Matsumura with a police baton after interrogating her. Then by Justice Man, who raped her for simply trying to [[DisproportionateRetribution talk him out of killing Dillgent Manager]]. Which was then followed by Toshio and Mitsuko, who both raped Matsumura on camera after [[SlippingAMickey drugging her drink.]]]]

** LovableAlphaBitch: Ironically, when compared to other characters she is one of the “cleanest” around; she is disturbed by the true nature of DEAD Tube and generally comes off as one of the nicest (i.e. least amoral) characters in the series.
