Kotarō Yanagisawa (柳澤耕太郎 in Japanese), better known as Shiro (シロ in Japanese), is the main antagonist of the manga and anime series Assassination Classroom. He is a cruel and vengeful scientist who bears a deep grudge against his archenemy, Koro-Sensei, due to him being the one who stole everything from him. It was due to his mutations and experiments on Koro-Sensei that lead him to become a teacher for E-Class, making him the catalyst of the entire series.

He was voiced by Ryōta Takeuchi and Mitsuaki Madono in Japanese and by J. Michael Tatum in English. In the live-action movie, he was played by Hiroki Narimiya.

Biography

Before the start of the series, he was a scientist who was testing and using an assassin called God of Death in order to create an anti-matter being, however when the experiment was going smoothly, he witnessed the transformation of the assassin which destroyed his lab and caused his fiancée's demise. Enraged by the fact that he lost everything, he swears revenge against the latter for the loss of his eye, stating that in the end, he will pay for his actions.

He disguised himself with white robes and changed his voice through a technological device, he later found a kid named Itona Horibe and used him to kill the one responsible of the incident, which is now a teacher with the name of Koro-Sensei. When Itona failed for the third time, Shiro realized that he is weak and useless, so he abandons him and states that he will return.

He reappears again at the end of the second semester and he is given custody of the defeated second God of Death, he tells him the real identity of Koro-Sensei and offers him a final occasion to kill their teacher by the end of March. He mutated God of Death (and later himself) into a octopus-like creature for the final battle against Koro-Sensei, but he is sent by the latter towards the anti-tentacle barrier, which destroyed his tentacle cells. At the end of the series, it was revealed that he survived, although he is left in a vegetative state. After the government found out about the experiments on antimatter, they shut down his work and deemed it impractical for military usage.

Appearance

Before the incident, he wears normal scientist clothes; after the incident, he disguised himself with white vests and a masks over his face, which later drops and reveals his short, wavy dark green hair and his prosthetic left eye, which replaces the one he lost during Koro-Sensei's escape.

Personality
