Tadashi Misumi

Tadashi Misumi (三角正) is a monk living at the Southern Cross Boys' Monastery.

Appearance
Tadashi is a portly man with a balding head of advanced years. He wears the typical cassock of a priest.

History
Tadashi, despite being qualified physician and a leading figure in Genomic Drug Research at True Cross University, took a position as a security guard at the Eastern Gate of True Cross Academy. He held this position for some twenty-two years before changing careers to become a monk at Southern Cross Boys' Monastery for a further sixteen years.

Synopsis
Lewin Light and Ryuji Suguro arrive at Southern Cross Boys' Monastery to continue their investigation into the Illuminati. There Lewin interrogates and threatens Tadashi. After Ryuji stops Lewin's torturing of Tadashi, the monk decides to confess, but before Tadashi can finish, Death appears and kills him. Inspecting the corpse, Lewin discovers a Morinath Contract on the back of Tadashi's neck and, even though he did not get a full confession, thanks the deceased monk.
