Shirakawa Ritsu

Ritsu is Sayaka's eccentric father who is infamous in the village as a painter that excels in the art of "Death". The villagers are repulsed by his "aura of death" and the bad reputation that is following him has also passed unto his daughter, Sayaka. There's a rumor circulating amongst the villagers that Ritsu prefers to "kill" his model for his painting in order to create a perfect work of art. He said once before that he wants Sayaka to be his model. This remark will not pass unnoticed by Souji and he will promise Sayaka that he would not let anyone kill her before his own death.
