Kocho Shuyona

'''Kocho Shuyona is the headmaster of Akademi High School. He is a faculty member in Yandere Simulator. '''

He is the reason behind some of Akademi High School's strange rules. According to Mysterious Tape #2, he is rumored to be bribing the police and media to stay away from the school for unspecified reasons.

He has a secret personality, backstory, and role in the gameplay. He will not factor into gameplay, but he plays a large role in the game's backstory and lore. He works in the Headmaster's Office.

Appearance
Kocho has short, dark brown hair and glasses. He wears a light blue shirt with a red tie under a green vest. He has light brown pants and dark brown shoes.

In the 1980s, he wore a green jacket and held a blue file.

Description
"Kocho Shuyona is the headmaster of Yandere-chan's school. He is 59 years old, and he has held the same position since 1985, when the prestigious school first opened its doors.

At the beginning of his career, he was a cheerful, optimistic, energetic young man who was full of hope for the future. However, over the course of his long tenure, his demeanor has changed drastically. He has become a cynical, pessimistic, world-weary old man who seems to have completely lost his faith in the world - especially its youth.

What happened over the course of the past few decades to change this man in such drastic ways? What regrets does he live with? What kind of decisions will he make now, at the end of his career, now that he has so little to lose?"

Background
Kocho started his career as the headmaster of Akademi after being hired by Saisho Saikou in 1985. He started recording tapes about his time as headmaster of Akademi shortly after being gifted a tape recorder by Saisho.

At some point, he was blackmailed by Info-chan into letting her use the Info Club room as her own personal room. He attempted to find out who she was, but was unsuccessful.

Personality
According to his profile, he is extremely reclusive and avoids leaving his office or addressing the student body in person.

He is a very stubborn person who does not want to admit that he has lost control of the situation at school. However, under extreme circumstances (for example, if an entire class dies), he might allow the school to shut down.

In Story Mode, he is close to retirement; he is world-weary, pessimistic, and cynical. In 1980s Mode, he is eager to begin work as the headmaster; he is energetic, optimistic, and cheerful. As he is less than a year away from retirement, he does not see a reason to care about anything and delegates most of his work to Genka Kunahito.

He will not hesitate to use his taser on Yandere-chan if she gets too close and would not defend her from bullies.

Routine
Kocho sits in his chair working on his Saikou computer every day. He'll leave his office at lunchtime.

If Yandere-chan enters the office, he will be shocked, and if she comes closer, he will stand up and point a taser at her; if she stands too close to him for 60 seconds, depletes his patience, or has a corpse or weapon, he will electrocute her, resulting in a Game Over.
