Budo Masuta (real name: Budo Masuyama) is one of the male students who currently attends Akademi. He is the president of the Martial Arts Club.

Appearance

Current

Budo has messy, feathered, dark gray hair that fans around his head. His hair model was the same as Haruto Yuto's, but flipped horizontally and re-colored. His eyes are dark gray.

He wears the default school uniform with a white headband with the kanji "必" and "勝", which when combined means "victory", on it unless customized by the player. Since he is the president of the Martial Arts Club, he wears the "Red Armband of Leadership" with a resemblance of a yin-and-yang symbol on his left arm. When in the Martial Arts Club, he dons a traditional karate gi. If the club disbands, he will not wear the headband anymore.

In his official art, he has a muscular figure, slightly showing off his well-defined chest through his karate gi.

YandereDev currently imagines his height as 5'7" (170 cm) and his weight as 185 lbs (83.91 kg), of which 35 lbs (15.88 kg) is muscle.

Previous

From the September 15th, 2024 build to the October 31st, 2024 build, his eyes were white with some silver in them.

Personality

“

Budo is a popular figure in Akademi Academy, known for his friendly and approachable attitude, his powerful physique, and his undeniable skill at martial arts. Ever since he became the leader of the Martial Arts Club, he has maintained a 100% winning streak and is considered to be the strongest student at school.

Budo became the leader of the Martial Arts Club after defeating the club's previous leader, who resigned after being beaten by her own pupil. There are rumors that the reason why Budo dedicated himself to martial arts is because he developed powerful romantic feelings for the club's previous leader, and desperately wanted to impress her. Budo always changes the subject when asked about this topic, neither confirming nor denying the rumors.

Budo very rarely speaks ill of others but has been known to express a strong distaste for bullies and delinquents. He is quick to rush to the aid of anyone that is being harassed by other students, making it clear that 'If you pick a fight with them, you're picking a fight with me, too!'

“

President of the Martial Arts Club. Inherited the club after defeating the previous president.
Seems to be incapable of turning down a challenge.
Always gung ho and enthusiastic. Sometimes a bit overzealous, especially about martial arts.

”

— Description from Info-chan.

Budo looking suspiciously at the camera.

Among the personas that are currently implemented in the game, Budo is Heroic. If he sees a corpse, he will act upon the Teacher's Pet persona. If he witnesses Ayano Aishi commit murder, he will run to fight her. He is a martial arts master, so he fights with enormous strength. He will give Ayano a suspicious look before crossing his arms if she aims her phone at him.

He considers Raibaru and Bruce Lee to be his idols. He is disinterested in fighting machines, believing they would not possess the same fighting passion as a human. He enjoys protein shakes, mostly because they provide the protein necessary to support muscle growth, and avoids unhealthy/junk food, as he thinks less about taste and more about health benefits.

Rather than the "Occult", Budo enjoys the supernatural as a topic itself, as he finds it fascinating. He believes that martial arts is the "key" to unlocking supernatural powers in the human body.

He does not judge people based on their physical appearance.

Because of Budo's friendly personality, being able to make friends with anyone, he would have no problem becoming friends with Fureddo Jonzu after talking to him for five minutes.

Background

He has been training in martial arts almost every moment of his spare time, since early childhood.

He is possibly the oldest club leader. Shima Shiya, Juku Ren, Sho Kunin, and Mina Rai are his apprentices.

He is one of the most popular boys in school. Budo is considered one of the most attractive guys in Akademi.

Routine

Budo watching his clubmembers spar

At 7:05 AM, Budo 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 Martial Arts Club on the Second Floor and watches his apprentices spar. He also goes to the Zen Gardens with the rest of the Martial Arts Club members and watches them spar there as well.

At 8:00 AM, Budo walks into Classroom 3-2, sits at his desk and plays on his phone. He starts his morning classes at 8:30 AM and leaves to go to the outside of the Martial Arts Club to eat his lunch at 1:00 PM.

Budo walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterward, he heads to the Martial Arts Club and stays there until the end of the day. If the player joins in club activities, he practices kicking with the other members from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

If the Martial Arts Club is disbanded, he will still go to the Zen Gardens with the rest of the former members and watch them spar.

Task

Main article: Tasks

Budo Masuta wants the former president of the Martial Arts Club to return and share her wisdom. Identify the former president and invite her to the club.

Ayano can complete this task by talking to Raibaru Fumetsu and asking her if she wants to come back to the Martial Arts Club. This will create an opportunity to eliminate Osana while Raibaru goes and teaches one last lesson to the Martial Arts Club, leaving Osana alone.

Ayano must befriend all of the Martial Arts Club members in order to gain Budo's trust and access his task.

This task will be unavailable if Raibaru is absent, or the Martial Arts Club is disbanded.

Budo has a younger sister (will likely be named Chiisana) who looks up to him. She thinks he is "super cool" and wants to be like him. When Budo practices martial arts, she imitates him. YandereDev thinks that she would have a little red ribbon in her hair. A full body illustration of Chiisana can be found here.

Unknown Girl

He was romantically interested in someone during his previous school year, but it did not work out. Budo's only flaw is that he is too shy to confess his feelings for that unknown girl.

Mantaro Sashimasu

He is viewed by Mantaro as a role model.

Delinquents

Main articles: Delinquents, Osoro Shidesu

He is very wary around Osoro and the other delinquents. He would also question Osoro's intentions to join the Martial Arts club. He would be overly dramatic when questioning her about her intentions to join the club. Ultimately, Budo would only let Osoro join if he knew she wasn't using martial arts for malicious intentions.

• Budo and Oka Ruto are not childhood friends.
  • If they were friends, and Oka was accused of murder, he would be shocked.
  • If they weren't friends, and Oka was accused of murder, Budo would try to rationalize this news with some rumors he heard about her. He especially does not want to have these thoughts and opinions of Oka.
• In a situation where Budo's life is at risk, and he has to kill people in order to not die, he would be in third place in terms of being a lethal risk, followed by Raibaru Fumetsu, Osoro Shidesu, Itachi Zametora and Daisaku Aragaki.
• Budo could beat Osoro in a fight using martial art rules, not in a street fight. In addition to this, he could beat Raibaru in a close match and he can never beat Megami.
  • But YandereDev had previously said that Budo can beat Megami in a sparring match.
• When his club has been shut down or there is low atmosphere, he crosses his arms. YandereDev says this is most likely a bug.
• If Budo was given a flower, he would greatly appreicate it, but refuse it as he believes it would get destroyed due to all of the "karate-chopping and judo-throwing" he does.
• If someone told Budo he was a bad club leader, he would be too "chill" to give a negative reaction. He knows that some people are cruel, and bullying him by telling him that he isn't a good club leader, masking it as a criticism. This is especially for a stranger who walks up to Budo and tells him this. Budo would also be curious as to if the stranger was serious or "trolling". He would maintain civilness between him and the stranger while getting the person to say something meaningful.
