Shin Higaku

Shin Higaku is one of the male students that currently attends Akademi High School.

Appearance
Shin wears the default male school uniform, unless customized by the player.

Shin has short, messy, dark blue hair. He has light purple eyes with dark circles under them. He always has an unhappy face, with the top half of his face slightly shadowed. Shin wears a black choker necklace with a crescent moon on it. If the Occult Club disbands, he will not wear the choker anymore.

YandereDev specifically wanted all of the Occult Club to have Oka Ruto's hair color, but this may change in the future.

Personality
Among the personas currently implemented in the game, Shin is a Coward. If he sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, he will start begging Yandere-chan to spare his life in exchange for his silence. Because he is a Coward, if Yandere-chan has her phone out and pointed at him, he will hide his face. He cannot participate in physical fights against murderers. If he sees Yandere-chan kill anyone, he will believe her to be possessed by a demon, according to Oka Ruto.

Routine
At 7:05 AM, Shin enters the school grounds. He walks to his locker at 7:10 AM and changes from his outdoor shoes to his indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, he walks to the Occult Club on the first floor.

At 8:00 AM, Shin walks into Classroom 3-1 and sits at his desk. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM, and leaves to go back to the Occult Club at 1:00 PM.

Shin walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and finishes his afternoon classes at 3:30 PM. Afterwards, he heads to the Occult Club and stays there until the end of the day. If the player joins in club activities, he will unsuccessfully try to summon a demon with the other members from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

If the Occult Club is inactive, he will socialize with the other former members outside of the club during periods when he would normally attend it (7:15 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:30 PM).

Shin is very trusting, since Oka lets him take care of the club if she ever died or went missing.
