Shion has been raised here as a high-ranking elite since the age of two, but on the night of his twelfth birthday his fate is turned upside-down when he meets a boy who calls himself Nezumi. "Why did I open the window that night? If I had not, I'd never have needed to know what it is like to fight, starve, or suffer in anguish...." (Source: Nostalgia on 9th Avenue)

Date of birth: unknown As he is the same age as Shion he was presumably born in 2001. (Age 16) Blood type: O Height: 178 cm (5'10") Weight: 63 kg A fugitive who is on the run from the police after escaping from prison. He sneaks into Shion's house after being shot. Nezumi gets treated and sheltered by him for a night, then disappears without a trace in the morning. He hates No.6 and appears to know something about the city that no one seems to know. Appearance He has dark blue hair and wears it in a short, but visible ponytail, leaving his fringe and strands of hair hanging at the sides of his face. His eyes are a light grey. In episode 2 of the anime, he wears a cloak with a hood (made of superfiber) which he soon took off to cover the enemy's eyes temporarily before holding a knife to his chin. He also used it to cover Shion and himself when they jumped out of a car(also in episode 2). He noted that he is taller than Shion, to which Shion agrees due to it being a valid fact. He wears grey pants (he tucks in the left side into a boot and the other is left as is and appears tattered), a dark green jacket with multiple pockets and a notably big scarf around his neck. He has a fairly muscular body. When he was 12 years old, his hair was slightly shorter than when he turned 16 and he left it down. He wore a gray over-sized shirt with a wide collar and a pair of dark gray shorts. His weight was 37.1 kg and his height was 145.3 cm. Personality Nezumi is a rude and straightforward person. He has a deep hatred towards No. 6. Though deemed a criminal in the beginning, he seems to be an honorable person (Source: No.6 Wikia)

He has an amazing IQ level, proven by his acceptance into the Special Course Though grateful for No. 6, he seems to have a slight doubt about it and the whole system, as noted by Nezumi. He is insecure about many things including his slender body and loves his mother very much. He also seems to like to daydream, but is capable of being aware of what happens in his surroundings even when he does. (Source: No.6 Wikia)
