Shin Asakura

Shin Asakura's History

Shin is the son of a man named Ando. Ando left Shin under the care of Asakura, a scientist, and researcher at the Okutabi Lab, a covert research institute located in the basement of the Okutabi Science Museum.

Over time, Asakura became a father figure to Shin. At some point in time, Asakura developed a promising chemical. While he was trying to cross-reference it with past data, a half-asleep and thirsty Shin accidentally drank it. Shin later developed his mind-reading power from the liquid and has fun with it by reading and telling(bluntly) the thoughts of Asakura's colleagues. However, they gradually started to avoid Shin. The remorseful Asakura then intends to create a drug to reverse Shin's power, yet he insists that Asakura's research is not stupid. But fed up with the lab's depressing environment, he left.

He then went on to become a hitman and partner of Taro Sakamoto. After Sakamoto retired, Shin was assigned to kill him. After failing, he currently works as a store clerk at Sakamoto's shop.
