Lio Shirazumi

Lio Shirazumi (白純里緒) first appearing briefly in the second chapter of Kara no Kyoukai, he later appeared again as the main antagonist in the seventh chapter.

Profile
An older schoolmate of Mikiya Kokutou who quit school because he 'found something he wanted to do.'

The real killer from 1995-1996, he was a quiet individual that had very little social skills. Whenever he killed someone, he only thought about his own safety. It is contradicting that he so desperately wanted to be special, and yet wanted the world to be filled with more people like himself.

Role
He first appears on the day of his farewell party trying to make Shiki Ryougi believe that she is the real killer.

The origin that he has is "Consumption", which was awakened by Souren Araya and since then he has been eating people and selling drugs on the street that he had grown himself. He began doing so hoping that it would help awaken other people's origin so that the world would be filled with more people like him.

According to Lio, no one was thinking well of him quitting high school, but Mikiya was the one person who truly wished him the best of luck. Because of that he thought Mikiya was the only person who could understand him, but yet didn't hesitate to kill him when he got rejected. Afterwards, he thought that Shiki would be the person who would truly understand him because she was different from normal people. But in the end, he had only gone insane.

According to Araya, out of the three people he gave his power to, Lio was a failure.

Once Kokuto read his personal diary he realized that Lio harbors a strong obsession towards Shiki and in fact confessed to her early in the series. This also becomes obvious just by seeing his appearance as a drug dealer, on which he modeled his clothes and hairstyle match Shiki's.

Abilities
He's incredibly agile, able to jump on and climb walls like a spider, could also possess super-human strength due to him shattering Shiki's blade with his teeth. He is also able to regrow lost limbs due to him becoming less and less like a human.
