Kowashi

One of the members of the team near the school. A bit of a strategist and the informal leader of the group, Kowashi keeps a cool head and wears a do, a breastplate armor used in kendo. He finds Ezaki and brings him to the shelter near the school, and instructs everyone how to fight against the zombies.

After the group reach the middle school, Kowashi is somehow infected off-panel and pops up again near the Tokyo group, managing to infiltrate the office building before being eliminated by Auntie. As a zombie, Kowashi is shown to be able to reattach his severed head onto the body of another zombie and take it over.
