Biography
Hagire Rinichirō (Japanese: 剥切 燐一郎, Hepburn: Rinichirō Hagire)
Hagire had a job as a researcher in the Medical Center ten years ago where he worked alongside Sorae Igarashi. They were conducting research on how to heighten a person's immune system and did experiments on several 'guinea pigs', including Shiro. In the beginning, he was not interested at all in the work claiming he had 0% interest in it. It was then suddenly that Shiro's body began increasing the number of the Nameless Worm, to the point where so much of it was present in her body that it disassembled even the most potent anaesthesia. As the experiments continued, he slowly gained more interest. To fuel this curiosity, he signed off on a number of inhumane experiments to promote the rapid multiplication of the Nameless Worm. A few of these include strapping Shiro to a cross and drilling into her arms, with no anaesthesia. Later when she was complaining about her arms hurting, Ganta unwittingly told her, "Just call for Ace Man. He'll make all the pain disappear." In one experiment, while Ganta was still living with his mother at the lab, Shiro underwent a particularly excruciating test where she was dissected piece by piece while in a fully conscious state. She was introduced to so much pain in that single experiment, that she started to call for Ace Man. After her wounds had been stitched up, she kept calling for Ace Man, until she abruptly stopped. Sorae Igarashi noticed that she had stopped crying and looked over to see 'Shiro' giving her signature 'Kishi' smile. This experiment caused the birth of the Wretched Egg.
At an unspecified point in time. Hagire adopted Chan and En. At some point, during the experiments, Shiro's body started to regenerate, replacing large chunks of skin, muscle, and bone simultaneously. This development caused Hagire's interest to pique at 100% where he posed the question, "Is this love?." The Great Tokyo Earthquake was brought about when Shiro learned from Sorae Igarashi that if she used too much of her power she could kill herself. Wishing death sooner than the suffering she was being subjected to, she unleashed a large amount of her power in an attempt to kill herself. While doing this, she intentionally spared Sorae Igarashi, as she was one of the only consolations she had, but let Hagire fend for himself. Due to his extensive injuries, when he returned from the hospital, he set about securing a new body for himself. Using Chan and En's Branch of Sin, Hallow Swallow, he overwrote his memories into the body of an older gentleman with a Branch of Sin. While in the body of his second generation, Hagire founded Deadman Wonderland with the purpose of searching for other Deadmen. He also started the Carnival Corpse to find the strongest Deadmen there is, as a target for his third generation. Shiro referred to him as 'Grandpa' in this form, and indeed, she lived with him for most of the time he spent in this body. At some point, Hagire transferred his mind into Toto Sakigami's body and took full control of him due to his ability to copy others' Branch of Sins.
Hagire was later seen, resting in his room within Deadman Wonderland and was later seen with Tsunenaga Tamaki. The two discussed Deadman Wonderland and Tamaki angers Hagire before Ganta's Carnival Corpse match with Minatsuki Takami. He finishes watching the Carnival Corpse and goes to ask Shiro if she's awake. He tells her that he picked up some more of the pudding she enjoys. The Wretched Egg replies that it isn't her that has the sweet tooth, it's Shiro. Hagire states that they need to kill each other and a battle ensues. Their fight creates a small tremor within the prison. Hagire's new body is later seen, defeated and mutilated by the Wretched Egg. When asked about the rest of the Lullaby, he responds that there was not any and that there never will be.
Overview
Personality and attributes
As Toto Sakigami, he came to operate under his Deadman's codename of Mockingbird. (モッキンバード, Mokkinbādo?)
Hagire was a mad scientist, sadist, and sociopath. He enjoyed experimenting on Shiro for her Wretched Egg persona. He claimed his interest in a project as a percentage, ignoring the immune experiment with 0% interest and telling Sorae to come to him with something more interesting. As Shiro's abilities advanced his "percentage" rose until it hit 100% and he claimed he was "in love" with her. He also has an obsession with the Wretched Egg and wants to express "love" to her. He is manipulative for treating Tsunenaga Tamaki as a pawn. He is clever and decisive, and when he is inside Toto Sakigami's body he wants to express "love" using Toto's abilities.
At one point, he was a subordinate to Sorae Igarashi, and often commented on how 'harsh' she was. He was surprised when she suddenly softened after Ganta Igarashi's birth, and from then on, only grew frustrated with her reluctance to continue with the experiments.
He later 'adopted' Chan and En, who were twins born with half a brain each. Though they were clearly grateful towards him and even revered him as a father figure of sorts, Hagire outright stated to them that he didn't love them at all, though they knew this already and didn't care. He also took Shiro in after Sorae's death, and fed her all the candy and sweets she could ever want, and even appeared to allow her to do whatever she pleased at Deadman Wonderland; though, this wasn't done out of the kindness of his heart, and was again related only to his obsession with Wretched Egg.
Powers and abilities
Thus, he gained a Branch of Sin (罪の枝, Tsumi no Eda) that was a power of the parasitic Nameless Worm which carried the Red Diamond.
