monogatari series characters
She is generally more kind-hearted and conciliatory than her husband. Antagonists[edit] Gonzou Kosugi (小杉 権蔵, Kosugi Gonzō) Voiced by: Kenta Miyake[9] (Japanese); Jamieson Price[9] (English) Portrayed by: Kazuki Kitamura[7] Gonzou is Akira's former team leader at his old company. A sadistic and gleefully abusive bully, Gonzou takes every single opportunity he can to yell at his coworkers, even contradicting himself when they do exactly what he asked of them, and give himself a cult of personality where they feel they can only survive by relying on him, all while he
does absolutely no work in return. When the apocalypse breaks out, he becomes the leader of a group of survivors taking refuge in a truck stop, but the mental toll of the situation causes him to become even worse and puts the same level of work and pressure on the
other survivors. He also begins trapping people driving out of Tokyo and manipulating them into working for him, which eventually includes Akira, Shizuka and Kencho. Though he nearly succeeds in brainwashing Akira, Shizuka
convinces him to walk out on Gonzou by writing it in as #37 on the bucket list, and the rest of his group eventually does the same when he only thinks about himself during a zombie attack, leaving him alone and crying as zombies encroach on him. Kanta Higurashi (日暮 莞太, Higurashi Kanta) Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto[9] (Japanese); Bryce Papenbrook[9] (English) Higurashi is a former college acquaintance of Akira and Kencho. He serves as a foil and inverse to Akira; while Akira was an extroverted person who was cut off from the
world by his work, Higurashi was a former NEET who actively avoided people and work, but still became bitter because of his seclusion and chose to blame society rather than himself. When the apocalypse broke out, Higurashi saw this as an opportunity to do whatever he wanted without any consequences, and met others who felt similarly disenfranchised by society, but in reality put themselves in that situation. They made their own bucket list consisting entirely of causing as much harm and destruction as possible, infiltrating Akira's village and releasing zombies into it in order to zombify Akira, whose extrovertedness Higurashi had always envied. Although he destroys much of the village, minimal casualties are sustained and he is defeated by Akira in combat before being beaten by a zombie.
