Kurii Ningu
CharacterKurii Ningu is a small-part player tied to the Amusement Park Arc, a cleaner who slips into a maintenance worker's clothes to get near his mark. His fate splits between the two versions of the story, ending in death in the manga while the anime lets him walk away.
Appearance
Lanky and lean, Kurii Ningu carries the look of a tired young man, his short grey hair sitting above sunken dark eyes shadowed by heavy bags, with a strip of bandage across the bridge of his nose. For his cover he dons the drab greyish-blue cap and polo of a custodian, a few pens tucked into a pocket, and finishes the disguise with a white surgical mask.
Personality
Because his time on the page is so limited, almost nothing is spelled out about what makes Kurii Ningu tick.
History
Working under the Dondenkai banner, Kurii Ningu takes a shot at eliminating Sakamoto and comes up short. The manga has Tatsu gun him down in the wake of that failure, but the anime quietly removes the moment, cutting the scene in which he is shot and leaving his survival intact.
