Quote | "Everyone is alone. Everyone is empty. People no longer have need of others. You can always find a spare for any replacement. Any relationship can be replaced. I had gotten bored of a world like that. But for some reason... the thought that someone other than you might kill me never occurred to me. Say, what do you think Kougami? After this, will you be able to find a replacement for me?" | ||

Character Description: Shogo Makashima
The principle villain in the series, Shogo Makashima is responsible for a series of incidents which has plagued Unit 1. An avid reader, mostly of dystopian novels like "1984", Shogo believes that the Sibyl System has rendered the citizens of Japan into little more than complaint "sheep", and wishes to free them of it. He was also the mastermind behind the Specimen Case, which resulted in the death of the Enforcer Mitsuru Sasayama, who was also Shinya Kogami's friend.
Shogo is a very unusual person, being that he has been classified as 'criminally asymptomatic', which means that, when his brain is subjected to a cymatic scan, his crime coefficient ALWAYS seems to be at 20 or below, even when he's committing a violent crime, such as the murder of Akane's school friend Yuki Funahara in front of Akane. Because of this, the triggers of the Dominators usually used by the PSB is locked, and cannot shoot. And it's because of this particular trait that the Sibyl System is interested in obtaining Shogo – ALIVE, not dead, like Shinya wants.
Shogo also doesn't seem to trust much people, usually killing them once they served their purpose to him. The only person he does trust is the Korean Choe Gu-sung.
