Shiki Tademaru

Raised in Gunma Prefecture by his mother before joining Inugami's detective agency, this half-human, half-Arachne hybrid initially presents a bullying persona toward Kabane. While he uses his age to assert authority, his outward hostility is merely a defense mechanism for his insecurities regarding their shared hybrid status. Though prone to temper tantrums or freezing under pressure, he remains a disciplined investigator who utilizes his quick reflexes and specialized threads to protect his allies during dangerous confrontations.
