10. Tena Sorimura
Tena Sorimura, also known as Phantom Solitaire, is one of Shinjuku's troublemakers. He is depicted as a man with dark, wavy hair and a thick mustache. He is also very obsessed with the supernatural.
Sorimura often tries to uncover evidence of magic and mythical things like ghosts, spirits, UFOs, mythological creatures, and the like. Tsubaki Iwanome usually interrogates him when she wants information.
9. Tsubaki Iwanome
Tsubaki Iwanome is the manager of Materials Compiling Group No. 3, which is responsible for criminal investigations and matters in Shinjuku. He has a laid-back demeanor and often gets drunk at Clarissa's bar.
Iwanome often visits the bar to gather information. Despite his laid-back demeanor, he can be professional when on duty. He is able to act as a respected leader among his subordinates.
8. Shizuki Shinoyama & Kazuki Shinoyama
Shizuki and Kazuki are twin cousins of Polka Shinoyama. They are very young and innocent. They are always escorted by black-suited bodyguards wherever they go.
Furthermore, both were once targets of assassination planned by Gorou Shinoyama. However, they were saved by the Corpse God/Polka thanks to a request from their sister's spirit.
7. Shagrua Lugrid
Unlike the previous characters, Shagrua Lugrid is one of the renowned knights in the world of Corpse God. She is often tasked by the church to eradicate enemies or evil necromancers who bring disaster.
Like Corpse God, Shagrua possesses the Evil Eye, which allows her to see spirits. She is also very strong and skilled with a sword. She was involved in a fierce battle against Corpse God.
6. Lisa Kuraki
Lisa Kuraki, also known as Clarissa, is a mediator and bartender who runs the Youtoukorou bar. She often takes on illegal jobs such as assassinations. Furthermore, she has many loyal subordinates.
Clarissa is very beautiful and sexy. She also displays a unique charisma as a leader. When her subordinates are in danger, she doesn't hesitate to take the field.
5. Kozaburō Arase
Kozaburō Arase is one of the most dangerous characters in the story. He is a former yakuza who joined Comps-3. He is usually seen with Tsubaki Iwanome.
Outwardly, Arase appears to be a gentle and friendly man. However, he can become sadistic and violent when he encounters criminals. He also possesses impressive fighting skills.
4. Lemmings
Compared to Arase, Lemmings is far more dangerous. He is extremely strong and difficult to track, like a ghost. His appearance is also very mysterious, as his body is covered in bandages.
Lemmings is considered an urban legend in Shinjuku, often involved in murder, kidnapping, and the destruction of religious property. In fact, he works as a subordinate of Takeru Shinoyama in the Dragon King's Palace Agency.
3. Takumi Kuruya
Takumi Kuruya is one of Corpse God/Polka's best friends. He works as an informant based in the Shinjuku area. He can obtain information through illegal drones, which he operates without police authorization.
Takumi is also often involved in illegal activities under Clarissa's orders. He always monitors the situation behind the scenes. Furthermore, he also helps murderers hide their victims' bodies.
2. Corpse God/Polka Shinoyama
Although considered a dangerous monster, Corpse God essentially just wants a quiet and peaceful life. In the fight against Shagrua, he successfully activated his reincarnation magic, reborn in the body of a young man named Polka Shinoyama.
In Polka's world, Corpse God can still use his magic, making him appear overpowered compared to other characters. His powers are indeed terrifying, but he often uses them for good deeds, such as saving others from danger.
1. Misaki Sakimiya
Misaki Sakimiya is arguably the most interesting character in Dead Mount Death Play. At first glance, she may seem like a nerdy and cute girl. However, she has a very sadistic nature and a chaotic personality.
Misaki was originally an assassin assigned to kill Polka Shinoyama. However, the mission failed because her target was still alive. She fought fiercely against the Corpse God until she was killed and resurrected as a zombie.
