Who is Shinigami?
The grim reaper himself. He is by far the most powerful character in the series. He is a bit of a joker but when the time comes, he's all business. His number is 42-42-564 (shini-shini-koroshi), which literally means die-die-kill in Japanese. He has a special move called a "Direct Noggin Shinigami Chop" (which is normally shown when the Shinigami shows his hand, which is a large, flat, four-fingered hand appearing from his robe). This is both a joke and a real move.
