Nico

Nico drifts into the story as one of Tsukiyama's inner circle, a ghoul with an ornate, theatrical manner and a taste for cruelty he doesn't bother to hide. Dressed and speaking with exaggerated flourish, he treats violence as performance, delighting in the discomfort of anyone unlucky enough to cross him.

Kenjiro Tsuda leans hard into the character's campy, sing-song delivery, turning what could be a throwaway thug into something gleefully unsettling. The writing gives Nico just enough menace beneath the flamboyance that his politeness feels like a threat, and the performance never lets you forget it.
