Seishin Muroi

Serving as the local priest in Sotoba, this novelist is the creative mind behind the chilling book Shiki, known in English as Corpse Demon. Beyond his literary pursuits, he possesses a heightened intuition that allows him to sense the presence of the supernatural. Though he shares a deep, lifelong bond with childhood friends Toshio Ozaki and Mikiyasu Yasumori, his past holds dark shadows, including a desperate suicide attempt during his university years.
