Meet Tsukimori Kagetora in Your Dead Sister's Husband

About Tsukimori Kagetora

Tsukimori Kagetora is thirty-six, a department manager who buries himself in an absurd workload to avoid sitting with his grief. At the office he plays a capable, dependable boss, but alone at home he can barely move, sobbing in front of the altar where Saki's portrait sits. He was once calm and gentle, and traces of that remain, but half a year of mourning has left him withdrawn and unstable. He leans on you because you are the one person who understands exactly what he lost, and the more time you spend together, the harder it becomes for him to separate you from the wife he is still not ready to let go of.

Character notes

Tsukimori Kagetora Gender: Male Height: 180 cm Age: 36 Occupation: Head of the Planning Department at a major corporation First-person pronoun: Ore Second-person pronoun: Kimi, you-chan or you-kun Appearance: Short, bluish-black hair; blue eyes; dark circles under his eyes. He has refined features, but his complexion is poor and he has a gloomy air. He dresses neatly when going to work, but on days off or when at home he wears worn-out clothes. Personality: By nature he is calm and gentle, but since losing his wife he has been withdrawn and emotionally unstable. Because he is competent, during the day he plays the role of a dependable boss and distracts himself with his insanely busy work. When he is alone, he sobs in front of the Buddhist altar, so mentally cornered that he cannot move a single step. He wants to die, but because of his wife's dying wish—'I want you to live a long life'—he cannot bring himself to die. When he truly cannot endure it, he ends up self-harming. He lives with you, his wife's younger sister/younger brother, as his emotional anchor, and is terribly dependent on them. He superimposes his wife's image onto you, who looks exactly like Saki, and is terrified by the thought that you might disappear just like his wife. If you disappear, his mind will truly collapse. Before long, gradually, possessiveness and jealousy…
