About this title

Synopsis

Rabbit Doubt has taken Tokyo by storm. In this cellphone survival game, players grouped together are "rabbits" tasked with hunting down the "wolf" hidden amongst them. Unless the rabbits can identify their enigmatic predator, the wolf will eliminate one of them every turn until the whole colony has been wiped out. Players of the game often convene in real life, which is exactly what Yuu Aikawa does when he meets Rei Hazama, Haruka Akechi, and Eiji Hoshi. Together with Yuu's longtime friend, Mitsuki Houyama, the group decides to spend their time in a lively karaoke bar. During their revelry, Yuu leaves to check on one of his inebriated friends, but is suddenly knocked out by an unknown figure wearing a misshapen rabbit mask. After regaining consciousness, he finds himself in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, sharing a cell with a mysterious boy. Though the two soon manage to locate the others, their reunion is interrupted by a spine-chilling message in a cellphone: "Rabbit Doubt, Start!" In Doubt, six high school students are thrust into a life-or-death survival game that will test their integrity and trust. With their lives at stake, they must quickly uncover the identity of the wolf that infiltrated their group—or be hunted down like prey. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Rei Hazama32 fan favorites
External profile
The youngest of the players. She was involved on a hypnotism TV show, but after it was reported to be a scam by relentless reporters, she tried to commit suicide by walking out in front of a vehicle. She then had a change of mind at the last moment and wound up paralyzed instead of dead, so she is confined to a wheelchair. It’s because of her past that Rei is shy and tends to be nervous around others. She is harassed by Eiji at first, but when Yuu comes to her rescue, she is grateful and reveals the truth to him. Eiji overhears and reports it to the rest of the group who is shocked, but accepts it right away. Rei's bar code is on her thigh. No voice actors have been added to this character.

Hajime Komaba16 fan favorites
External profile
A medical student attending university, he is the last of the players to be presented. He didn’t meet with the others because he was lured by a false text message to a different meeting place at a different where he was abducted separate from the group. He reveals to Yuu that the text message apparently came from his phone, which Yuu denies having any knowledge of. Cool and collected, he is the most level-headed of the players and appears to have the best understanding of what is going on. He stumbles across most of the clues and comes up with most of the deductions, which causes him to be suspected of being the wolf on a few occasions. He is the one that concludes all the events following the “Rabbit Doubt” game and assumes the role of the leader, since he seems to be well informed. His primary concern is survival, and he is indifferent to whether or not his accusations offend another player, or a decision he makes ultimately leads to their death. He knowledge of medicine helps him solve the mystery behind the death of a man they stumble across and briefly believe to be the wolf, as well as assists Mitsuki when she becomes injured. He seems to be the antithesis to Yuu's personality. His bar code is on his arm. No voice actors have been added to this character.

External profile
This 18 years old boy is aggressive, abrasive, and sometimes violent. He has a smoking and drinking habit for which he is chastised by Mitsuki, a cop's daughter, who refuses to let him indulge in either vice while under the age of 20. He flirted with Rei, but after hearing her talk to Yuu about her past as a famous hypnotist, he immediately exposed her in front of everyone. After the tension in the group has eased, Eiji disappears to the bathroom and is not to be seen again until the group reawakens in the mental hospital. Once the real life or death game of "Rabbit Doubt" begins, he is too hasty, acts on his own and ends up trapping himself in one of the rooms after going against the group's wishes by using his bar code to unlock a bathroom. As punishment, he is left behind in the locked room where the group believes he will stay out of trouble. Eiji's bar code was on his right wrist. No voice actors have been added to this character.

She was not one of the original players and only tagged along to be with Yuu, whom she seems to have a crush on. She gets jealous when other girls are friendly with him. As the horror that develops, she is constantly seeking reassurance and protection from Yuu. She is the daughter of a cop, which contributes to her strong sense of morality, and her mother died when she was young. Yuu found her crying and promised to protect her, and they have been close since. She is the most emotional of all with a weak constitution, screaming or fainting at the first sign of danger or injury. Mitsuki wants to believe in the good of everyone in the group, giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and she tries to do the right thing, even under the deadly circumstances. Her barcode was on her neck. No voice actors have been added to this character. Help improve our database by searching for a voice actor, and adding this character to their roles .
Yuu Aikawa5 fan favorites
External profile
Honest, straightforward, and friendly. His childhood friend is Mitsuki, whom he cares a great deal for, and he takes it upon himself to protect her at all costs. Mitsuki is also the only person that Yuu completely trusts within the group. Yuu found himself inside the hospital after receiving a blow to the head from a wrench inside the bathroom at the karaoke bar. He also seems to be the only person who has caught a glimpse of the wolf. The story unfolds mainly from Yuu's perspective, and since he is very righteous and the only individual, besides Mistuki, who doesn't throw accusations around, it is safe to assume he is the main protagonist. Whenever someone in the group dies, Yuu takes it very hard, and often times winds up blaming himself in some way. No voice actors have been added to this character.
