Itsuki Kuonji

Uncle to Yuka Takagi and world class hypnotist. He was the one to demonstrate the capabilities that hypnotism can bring by making the weak and meager Oosawa stand up and act like a rock and roll star. Wishing to use this to liberate people of the world from the hypnotism that is being constantly used in media and such. After Oosawa039s bombing he comes onto the case and believes that there was someone manipulating him through the use of hypnotism referring to this culprit as the quotThird Partyquot. He displays utter disgust at the use of hypnotism being used to control people to do horrific acts and is determined to find out who the Third Party is wanting to use his hypnotism to interview the students and see who was the one controlling them. Ren seeing him as a threat as his powers can go much deeper than a regular hypnotist and discover who he is in spite of using hypnotism amnesia on his test subjects Ren concocts a plan to make him disappear by first having him accused of being the Third Party. Then after getting the information of Itsuki039s patients from Yuka Ren hypnotizes them where once Itsuki calls them they will commit suicide making it appear to the police that he was killing them off to cover his tracks. He is currently captured by the police and it has been broadcasted he is a witness in the killings. He is no longer running the taskforce with more and more evidence pointing to him as the Third Party.
