About this title
Synopsis
After a long absence, the young shaman Samizo Kohei returns from the dead with a prophecy of the apocalypse. Or part of him returns, at least - most of his body has been replaced with the transplanted body parts of his former friends, all retaining their distinctive personalities. He returns to his home in Shinjuku, where he works as a psychic surgeon in an unlicensed clinic. Here he serves as the unofficial guardian of the Shinjuku underground, solving paranormal murder mysteries, with the assistance of an assortment of other bizarre mystics and semi-human allies. Meanwhile, the others wonder exactly what Kohei has become, and whether he has returned to prevent the apocalypse, or to initiate it.

Main characters
Kouhei Samizo4 fan favoritesExternal profileKouhei was part of a group sent by the UN to make a peace treaty with anti-government guerrillas in Cappadocia, Turkey. He disappeared together with the group, being pronounced dead. Two years later, now bearing the name of Leviathan, he returns to Japan, not quite the same man he once was. He was dead, and has been brought back to life, with parts of his body having been built up with body parts from his team maters; left arm from Michael, right arm from Angela, legs from White, and scalp from Diana. Because of this, he is described as "having no nationality, or race, no precise sex..." Once in Japan, he opens a clinic where he performs Spiritual Surgical Operations on people to deal with the odd problems that start appearing. No voice actors have been added to this character.
