Sou Hiyori (日和ヒヨリ 颯ソウ, Hiyori Sou?), is one of the 20 chosen to participate in the Death Game. He is a self-proclaimed job-hopper.

Appearance

Sou is a sickly pale man with a bad posture. His body is unhealthly skinny as he has no fat or muscle, and he is always slouching. Sou is very clean and seems to take care of himself well. He has light teal hair with slightly darker teal eyes. Sou's expressions are usually soft and gentle but can transform into ferocious and ominous looks.

Sou's outfit consists of a green beanie, a pale brown long-sleeved shirt tucked into khaki pants, and a purple jacket. His pants are held up with a brown belt with a gold buckle. Sou also wears a pink-orange polka-dotted scarf with tassels, previously owned by Midori. The polka-dots are colored in a striped, reflected pattern of peach, pink, and dark brown. Underneath his scarf, he wears a gold key-shaped necklace. He has also been shown to wear dark brown dress shoes.

Being a participant in the Death Game, he wears a collar as do all Participants, Dummies, and Floor Masters, hidden away by his scarf.

Personality

At first introduction, he is generally friendly but a bit standoffish and introduces himself as Sou Hiyori. He's secretive due to being distrustful of the other participants. Despite this, he helps everyone discover secrets about where they're trapped.

Sou is canny and intelligent, but due to his suspicious nature, he has a habit of jumping to negative conclusions, especially in regards to Sara. He cannot comprehend Sara's charisma and is both resentful and envious of how she manages to gain the others' trust.

Upon finding out about his survival percentage in his First Trial his survival instincts kick in and causes him to adopt the "Sou Hiyori" persona from an old acquaintance of his in order to protect himself, his original personality (as seen in the Shin AI) was much more trusting and naïve, he would act with other's best interests in mind (shown by how the Shin AI helps the cast throughout Chapter 3, Part One) sometimes to the point of self-sacrifice (as seen in the second main game where he attempts to protect Kanna at the cost of his life) which is likely what gave him his staggeringly low win rate.

He is a skilled computer hacker who comes to care for Kanna Kizuchi throughout the course of the game. during the Trust-Barter game Kanna takes the responsibility to watch over Sou, Kanna takes up the habit of sleeping in the same room as him and they appear to grow close during this time. As a result, Kanna becomes one of the only people to trust him wholeheartedly. The pair form a dynamic duo and protect each other throughout the Death Game.

However, despite begging Sara for help during the Second Main Game, he is devastated if Kanna is chosen to die instead of him, and enacts what he believes is justified retribution on Sara, psychologically tormenting her with a twisted version of the Joe AI.

If he is chosen instead, Sou demonstrates empathy and compassion within his dying moments; accessing the Joe AI for Sara to find and reach some closure.

When his plans or calculations fall through, Sou tends to break his friendly facade. He generally keeps a calm, callous tone when speaking, but has shared glimpses of what he might've been like outside the Death Game. When he was excited about potentially escaping the facility he let his guard down slightly, even to Sara, who has the option to give him a high-five and have him unthinkingly reciprocate.

Before the Death Game, Shin's AI indicates he was a lot more timid and shy than the Shin we meet during the Death Game.

Background

Growing up, Shin was spoiled by his parents.

In high school Shin met Midori, known as Sou Hiyori at the time, and they became friends though it seemed to have a very unhealthy dynamic. Sou offered Shin the consent form under the guise of it being a motivator for him to become the person he wants to be. Shin used his wish on the form to wish to meet his lost sibling that he had heard his parents talk about. At some point Sou disappeared without a trace and left orders for Shin to erase documents from his computer that automatically erased when he tried to look at them. After Sou went missing Shin began to wear his scarf.

As an adult, he felt a certain level of exasperation over his parents spoiling even as he felt he should express more gratitude toward them. He became a freelancer even as he claims to be a job-hopper in order to have a semblance of independence. He was working at a convenience store up until he got kidnapped.

The Death Game

Chapter 1, Part One

I was on the way to my usual part-time job at a convenience store. It’s a bad part of town… and I was aware of how dangerous it could be at night… But the night shift wages are good… so. Suddenly, someone attacked me. I can’t remember what else happened then.Response to "Memories before arriving."

Sou's shadow beginning to torment him.
Shin supposedly was kidnapped on his way to a part-time job at a convenience store in the bad part of town. He woke up in the Black Room on the second floor of the facility. There, Sue Miley introduced herself. She explained the survival rate of all the participants to a nausea-inducing degree and Shin's position of dead last with a whopping 0%. The information psychologically cornered him to the point his personality cracked. He threw away his sense of self as Shin Tsukimi and adopted Sou Hiyori's name. This event was Sou's First Trial.

Afterward, he met the other surviving participants and presented himself as a timid and gentle person. He partnered up with Sara, who he knows to have the highest chance of survival of the Death Game, in exploring the first floor. During the course of investigations, he keeps a wary and envious eye on Sara who easily gains everyone's trust.

When Sara gets trapped in the Blue Room with Joe, Keiji, Q-taro and Kai, he leaves to supposedly find a way to get them out of the room. However, he never returns.

Then, all the participants are made to play the Second Trial where, as a "practice round," they have to vote for someone using their voting tablets. The tablets are distributed to them by Miley who had revealed herself to the rest of the participants. Where everyone voted for themselves (except Nao for different reasons), Sou is implied to have also voted for Mishima. With three votes, Mishima receives the majority vote and is summarily executed as an example.

Chapter 1, Part Two

After the Second Trial, Sou works in the Hidden Room to try and unlock the password to open the laptop he found. He is able to open it using the password "Chidouin" and discovers what he believes to be incriminating e-mails about Sara being involved in the Death Game. While he's in there, the lights go out briefly, someone knocks him unconscious and steals the laptop.

Later, Sou lies to Sara that he voted for Joe during the Second Trial, insinuating that Joe had voted for Mishima.

At some point, Sou picks up a Commoner Card and a Sacrifice Card. After being introduced to a man in stripes, Sou rests with Kanna in the bar. He discreetly places the Sacrifice card so that Kanna will see it and pick it up. Sou then offers to trade the Commoner card he has with Kanna's newly found Sacrifice, reasoning that it is dangerous, and thus putting Kanna in Sou's debt. Somehow, Sou found another Commoner card and the Sacrifice made its way to someone else.

Eventually, the time comes to participate in the Main Game. Right off the bat, Sou claims to be the Keymaster. Sara may try to refute his claim, but as there is no way of knowing the truth, the subject is dropped. During the discussion of the validity of Kanna stating she wants to die, Sara suspects Sou may be trying to protect her by urging a new topic.

Sou snaps.
While Nao's actions involving the disappearance of her and Mishima's head is uncovered, Sou distrusts her and wonders if she did so because she was with the kidnappers. He remembers that it was Nao who hit him on the head, which leads to Kai threatening Nao to steal his laptop for him being revealed. Sou tells everyone that he actually unlocked the password and recites the suspicious emails he found. However, it backfires, and everyone stands up for Sara. Sou gets cornered, and suddenly snaps. His personality completely switches and he insults everyone as a group. Sou asks to talk things out with Sara, one-on-one. Sara manages to refute all his remarks, and it is time for the preliminary vote. Sou receives 2 votes, and becomes a candidate for the final vote.

Sou still claims to be the Keymaster, and is backed up by Kanna claiming to be the Sage, which was part of his plan. Eventually though, Sara manages to determine the roles. Time runs out and the final vote starts. Disregarding Sara's vote, Sou receives 3 votes, but Kai, who was the Sage, receives 6, and dies along with Joe, the Sacrifice.

Chapter 2, Part One

After the Main Game, the participants are moved to the third floor. While the others are in the Prize Exchange listening to Rio Ranger and Tia Safalin, Sou breaks the monitor that contains his AI in the Monitor Room, causing it to be cracked and unusable. Everyone notices that they haven't seen Sou around. Eventually, it is decided to go to Sou's bedroom to ask him what's up. He is found collapsed on the floor. He dizzily gets up and feigns amnesia. He begins asking questions about the situation, and prods Sara about who died, and where Joe is, causing Sara to freak out. Kanna says she'll keep an eye on Sou and figure out what his deal is.

At noon, Sou is found in the Monitor Room with Kanna, and at night with her in the Ruined Corridor. In the Monitor Room another cracked monitor is found, and suspicion is immediately on Sou, but Kanna vouches for him as she was with him.

The next morning, Sou and Kanna are available for Negotiation. They ask just to talk with Sara. They discuss about who Sou's attacker was and who destroyed the two monitors. Eventually, Sou stops wanting to talk and just leaves the conversation.

Into the afternoon, Kanna and Sara find Kanna and Kugie's First Trial room. Sara finds a phone with a hurtful message to Kanna on it, but thanks to Sou arriving at just the right time, she's saved. Sou asks to trade tokens with Kanna, along with Alice.

Sou returns to the Trial Room to pick up the phone. He taunts Sara, who is angry that he got it before her, about what he might end up doing with it. Sou says it's just a fabricated cruel message, and then accuses Sara of trying to set it up for Kanna to see. Sara steals back the phone easily due to Sou's feeble resistance, but sees that he had written a new positive message for her instead.

Later, at night, Kanna and Sou are found in the Ruined Corridor by Sara and Keiji. They try to negotiate who gets ownership of Kai's laptop. Sou says since found it first and as a charger, he should have it. Kanna agrees to trade the laptop for the phone in Sou's possession. Sou then says there's nothing left to do, but Keiji asks if Sou is really wearing a collar, since his neck has never been seen. Sou laughs and offers instead to trade the laptop for 50 of Keiji's tokens, but Keiji refuses. As an apology, Sou shows his collar to Keiji and runs off.

Once the Final Attraction begins, Sou's token trading means that he places from 2nd to 5th. Along with Kanna, Alice and Keiji, he is neither pinned to the target nor lifted into the Impression Room. Once the fake Reko is exposed, Sou remarks that her desperation to live makes her "basically a human at this point", something that he feels bad over.

Chapter 2, Part Two

After the results of the Final Attraction, Sou has a nightmare where he's in his First Trial room, the Black Room, talking with his shadow again. Once again it taunts him, and then notices his countenance has changed quite a bit. The shadow leaves, and the room turns dark. Unfazed, Sou just says it's gloomy and runs. He finds himself in the Hidden Room and sees his dead body, from when Nao knocked him unconscious and stole the laptop. Sou runs to the Main Game grounds and picks up Kai's frying pan. He tries to run away again, but a voice stops him. The nightmare ends with Sara grabbing him by the neck and preparing to strike with a knife.

Sou wakes up, disoriented, with Kanna concerned by his side. According to Gashu, he is to participate in the Second Main Game. It is hinted that Sou began with the Keymaster, but it is quickly traded away from him by Keiji. For the remainder of the 3 hours leading up to the Second Main Game, Sou is a Commoner.

In the Second Main Game, Sou is one of the 4 participants chosen at the end of the preliminary round, alongside Keiji, Kanna and Nao. The Four Papers are brought up, more specifically the name "Shin Tsukimi". It is eventually deduced that only one person can be Shin Tsukimi - Sou. He comes clean as a result and explains why he took on his alias; to avoid what he perceived to be certain death.

As Keiji is the Keymaster and Nao is the Sacrifice, only Kanna or Sou receiving the majority vote will spare the group as a whole. Kanna believes that Sou can be useful in future attempts to escape the Death Game, but Sou refuses, claiming that he will never forgive Sara should she choose to kill a child. Kanna and Sou vote for themselves; Keiji and Gin vote for Kanna, while Q-taro and the surviving Yabusame vote for Sou. Nao, with her two extra votes, votes for herself. It is now up to Sara to decide who lives and who dies.

Voting For Kanna (Sou Lives Route)
Sou receives 3 votes, guaranteeing that he will survive at Kanna's expense. Sou begs for the reason why he was spared as Kanna requests a final hug. After watching Nao's execution, Safalin announces that it is time for Kanna's execution. Sou is left speechless as Kanna requests that everyone takes care of him, and then is injected with Human Flower seeds from her collar that erupt out of her body.

“...I'll kill you... Worthless... It's all worthless... The Floor Masters... Sara... Every one of the riffraff... I'll kill every one of you who killed Kanna...!! That's right... and first... will be Sara...”
Sou in Sou Lives route

Kanna expires, and Sou is left deeply vengeful. He proclaims that he will kill the Floor Masters and remaining survivors in Kanna's name, specifically noting that Sara will be his first victim. Afterwards, he storms towards the Room of Rubble and hacks into the AI of Joe, making it so that Joe will blame Sara for his death, and that of Kanna's as well. When Sara confronts the AI, she is left traumatized to the point that she forgets Joe's entire existence.

Voting For Sou (Kanna Lives Route)
Sou receives 4 votes, guaranteeing that he will die so that Kanna will live. He pitifully laughs as Sara claims that she hated him enough to condemn him to death. After watching Nao's execution, Safalin announces that it is time for Sou's execution. As a final act of defiance, Sou tears his own collar from his neck and runs out of the Main Game's grounds, directly towards the facility's security systems that mortally wound him.

Bleeding and tearfully smiling, Sou ruminates on how his efforts to survive ultimately did nothing but delay his death. He staggers towards the Room of Rubble to activate his "final present;" a non-corrupted Joe AI for Sara's sake.

Sou, slumped over, dead.
Sara herself looks for and finds Sou collapsed in front of a keyboard. She attempts to wake him, but it's too late. Sou has already expired.

Chapter 3, Part One

Despite some protest, Sou accompanies the rest to the fourth floor of the facility, where they meet Midori. For the Murderer Game, Sou is partnered with Naomichi Kurumada.

Sou then joins in searching the fourth and fifth floors. As he explains, he hates both Sara and Midori equally, but prioritizes getting rid of Midori first.

Other versions

In the manga, Sou doesn't vote for Mishima. Instead, he votes for Sara, wishing to kill her, but Keiji casts his vote for Sou, making it look like the man has voted for himself. During the investigation, Sou tries to push Sara under a falling chandelier to kill her.

Physique

Sou loses to Joe in arm-wrestling
Sou has feeble physical health, being a very sick man who can't do a single push-up and has to take a bike to a nearby convenience store, as walking for too long makes Sou's legs hurt. Moreover, he is the weakest participant in Your Time to Shine, having two times fewer fighting points than Kanna.

Sou has unhealthily pale skin and an extremely skinny body. Sou's posture is bad, as he spends most of the time in front of a computer. Sou is so weak that he can't open a sliding door at the bar and is easily overpowered by Sara, who has no problem taking Kugie's phone from him. Sou also has low stamina: during the token trade, Sou often complains to Kanna that he is tired and needs a break. It is also seen when Sou gets sick and exhausted after arguing with Sara for too long. He sleeps a lot and is prone to fainting, as when Sou suddenly loses consciousness in his room and has a nightmare while plotting with Kanna and Q-taro.

Sou barely goes outside and prefers carrying small bags because big ones make his shoulders stiff, further empathizing his physical feebleness. Sou is always chilly and wears winter clothes inside a building or on a tropical island. He gets sick every winter and is always chilly. At Midori's apartment, he had to put the heater to the highest levels to stop feeling cold. Its extraordinarily high temperature left Midori possibly dehydrated and sweating and worried about the safety of the equipment. Even in these conditions, Sou still had to wear a scarf to warm up. However, steam and hot baths make Sou dizzy. Despite all his health difficulties, Sou is a good swimmer, but he easily gets stuck in the seaweed, constricting his movements.

During the Death Game, Sou sustains two concussions. The first one occurs when Nao hits him on the head with a frying pan, making him lose consciousness for some time. The second one is possible self-inflected injury when Sou fakes having amnesia. There are splinters in his head and a bump, which suggests Sou might've hit himself on the head to make his story more believable.[28] In the manga, Sou bleeds from the head during this scene.

Sou struggles to pick up a 2 kg controller.
Sou suffers from chronic stomach problems. In Your Time to Shine, Sou's special ability is to endure starvation, suggesting irregular eating habits. Sou can't gain any fat or muscle and eat high-carbohydrate food, which he is greatly dissatisfied with. The only food Sou can ingest is warm liquids. He can't handle cold or spicy food and has difficulty digesting solid ingredients. Sou mentions liking curry but can only eat it in a boiled state. Dishes Sou can eat include various soups and non-spicy boiled curry. However, in Nankidai's sketches, he is shown eating snow buns, cotton candy, grilled fish, noodles, and a cake. He also drinks juice when he can't afford food.

Sensitive to cold, so he loves core-heating soup and warm bedding....But he has a deep fear that if he gets into a kotatsu, he'll never leave. Doesn't care for his own frailness. Somewhere in his heart, he's pained by the feeling that everything in the world is out to get him. Though he usually has soft expressions, they can transform into ferocious and ominous looks. No one knows where his true feelings lie. He's always slouching with poor posture, and has no muscle nor fat. He has unhealthily pale skin and an extremely skinny body. Though hidden by his scarf, he wears a necklace shaped like a key. Since he catches cold easily, he puts on warm winter wear: a beanie, a scarf, and thick clothes.
