Kageyuki Shiraishi

Kageyuki Shiraishi (白石 景之, Shiraishi Kageyuki ) is a main character in Collar x Malice. He is a 29-year-old active-duty cop who is the director of the Field Ops department. He works in the Crime Lab as a profiler.

History
According to a small psychological interview Hoshino holds with Shiraishi, he was raised in a setting with strict discipline and rigor as a child. Shiraishi is intentionally vague with the details, but he does mention that it was a place where he had to do his best and succeed even though he would never be praised for it because he was never acknowledged. Hoshino is sympathetic to this, due to her own history of being the one always outshone by her brother, Kazuki.

Kageyuki used to work only in the Crime Lab as a profiler. Since the X-Day incidents, he has become director of the Field Ops department set up to solve the incidents.

Personality
Kageyuki tends to always have a smile on his face, but his words and actions do not let anyone know what he is actually thinking. He is interested in humans but is quick to cut off people that he deems boring. He is fascinated by emotions as he is intrigued by Ichika Hoshino's emotions about the collar being around her neck. Hoshino mentions he is more interested in interactions and thoughts than about morality. She likens this attitude of his to that of Chisato Tachibana.

Trivia
