Kinzo Ushiromiya

Kinzo Ushiromiya is a villain from Umineko no Naku Koro ni. He is the elderly head of the Ushiromiya family and the owner of Rokkenjima. Kinzo is already deceased before the start of the franchise's story, having succumbed to a long-time drinking habit, although his eldest son Krauss, his wife Natsuhi, his personal physician Dr. Terumasa Nanjo, and all of the mansion's servants (excluding Toshiro Gohda) maintain his illusion at the family conference that he is still alive, albeit with a three-month life expectancy. Even though he has that many months to live, he is brimming with energy.

He never actually made any announcements about his inheritance despite amassing a vast fortune in the past, which worries his children. He is strongly influenced by the West and is a rabid fan of the occult. His study is, in fact, packed with mysterious grimoires.

He is voiced by Mugihito.

Profile
He is a self-taught human sorcerer. His natural talent and knowledge are nothing special, but when his nearly insane concentration and dedication were transformed into magical power, he awakened as a great sorcerer. His power is at least great enough that he was able to summon Beatrice and form a contract with her. Though his power is great, it is also extremely limited. He can't even use enough magic to reheat his black tea, but it is possible for him to summon demons that can use enough magic to boil the sea, so perhaps it's fitting to call him a summoner.
