Tomio Ookawa

Tomio Ookawa is a major antagonist in the anime Shiki. Tomio is introduced early on as the liquor store owner and the abusive father of Atsushi. Tomio gets angered over his son's laziness and beats him frequently for minor offences. Though his role in the plot is fairly minor early on once Ozaki reveals that the Shiki have invaded the town a darker side of Ookawa comes out. Killing the Shiki brutally and without remorse, Ookawa views them as pure evil and is the most extreme in the group of humans hunting the Shiki. Ookawa's killing of the Shiki may seem somewhat justified by some, seeing as they did murder many people in the village that summer for food but Tomio does some heinous things that solidify him as a villian and as far more extreme than most the other villagers. When the Shiki use their mind control powers to hypnotise a human into attacking the other humans Ozaki explains that the person is simply in a trance. Despite his information Ookawa murders the controlled human in cold blood showing that his bloodlust went beyond enacting justice. His most evil crime happens at the end of the series while he is looking for Seishin. Tomio accuses the innocent people in the village's temple of harboring Seishin, when in reality he had snuck into the temple grounds unnoticed. Despite the temple staff having no knowledge of Seishin's act Ookawa and a group of villagers with him brutally murder them without proper evidence. After this Ookawa follows Seishin into the forest and when he spots Sunako he follows her into an abandoned church. He corners the young mastermind of the summer's deaths and tells Sunako off explaining the unwritten rules of the village. Before he can kill her and eliminate the final Shiki, Seishin makes it to the church in time as an awakened Jinrou and buries a cleaver into Tomio's skull killing him and sends his body through the church window.
