Description
Personality
Before the curse, Yoshikazu was a sympathetic man, willing to listen to students' problems. The curse inflicted by Yoshie Shinozaki gradually eroded his mental stability and free will, transforming him into a mindless killer under Sachiko's control. He retains glimpses of his former self, shown by his initial hesitation to kill Yuka Mochida in *Corpse Party: Book of Shadows*, but ultimately succumbs to Sachiko's influence and completes the task. His speech deteriorates into moans and groans as the curse progresses.
