Slasher

About
Slasher is a commentator working for Toushin Digest, the premiere program for post-battle updates on the Toushin Tournament. He is frequently seen working alongside Kuri, but the two do not get along, Slasher being constantly frustrated with Kuri's unprofessionalism. Despite, the two have been seen spending time together outside of the tournament, Slasher griping all the way. Ultimately, the two need one another: Kuri is far more popular by far, but Slasher is the only reason any reporting actually gets done.

While Slasher is known for carrying one or more knives with him at all times, he rarely uses them.

Trivia

 * Slasher's species, with their ovalular heads, simplistic faces, and garden gnome outfits, frequently appeared in one-off gags in Alicesoft games from this era, but were rarely explored in any depth. An obscure section of Rance 4.2 addresses one of these recurring characters as a "dwarf" (小人, kobito), but the canonicity of this is dubious. The design may have evolved into the garden gnome-esque Poppins, but Slasher has remained as he is.
