Ryousuke Ikechi

Ryousuke Ikechi (池地 亮介, Ikechi Ryōsuke) is Makoto Shibe's former friend from Middle School. He is the second witness of the Fourth Game, "Friend's Sin Courtroom".

Personality
He currently strongly dislikes Shibe, to the point of calling the latter "the worst trash".

History
During middle school, he and Shibe were always together. He finds that the latter sometimes couldn't read the atmosphere. However, he was easy and fun to be with, a likable guy.

One day, his sister who was in the same group came to him saying that Shibe had impregnated her. He angrily went to the latter and pressed him with questions. Then, Shibe brought so much money, an amount that them as middle schoolers have never seen. His sister was only a first year in middle school. He eventually decided to accept the money that Shiba provided, because their family doesn't have a lot of money.
