Harimoto, Takashi
Summary
Harimoto is distinguished by his long robes and straw hat, with deep wrinkles suggesting he may be the oldest character introduced to date. While rivals like Akiyama and Yokoya specialize in psychological and mental manipulation, Harimoto’s strength lies in exploiting a person’s emotional state. He debuts in Round 4 as the founder of the Peaceful Paradise cult. Three female members—Mika Mikamoto, Kei Kimura, and Yukiko Abe—are contestants in the Liar Game who follow him unconditionally, granting him a significant advantage. He controls his followers by claiming that all mankind descends from both humans and demons, stating his mission is to gather those with minimal demonic blood under his guidance to restore a nearly pure human bloodline and overthrow the demons.
