family alone, and Midori's mother was bedridden due to an illness. Her death is horrific as she's eaten by rats and mice. Mr. Arashi: The boss of the Amazing Freak Show and the seedy stranger who led Midori into his horrific circus. While he appears to be a benevolent and consistent manager, he is actually a greedy and manipulative conman. He'll do anything to get rich, even going so far as taking Midori hostage for his show. He has no qualms of sleeping with little boys, and he has a fetish of eyeball licking/oculolinctus. Tokkuriji Muchisute the Mummy Man: The first circus performer – the disfigured young pervert with missing arms and a face covered in bandages like a mummy; he is one of Japan's victims of leprosy (though he's a burn victim in the other adaptations). Although he has no arms, he is able to use his feet just as if they were hands, performing archery in the circus. He is a stalker who has raped Midori several times. Akaza the Giant: The second circus performer – the sword-swallowing, one-eyed strongman with a shaved head and tattoos. He is a laid-back "tough guy" who enjoys eating, money, and having sex with Benitsu. He goes along with the other circus members' sadism and fetishes. Benitsu the Snake Woman: The third circus performer – a middle-aged, voluptuous, long-haired, snake-charming woman. She is sadistic and promiscuous. She once tried to solicit sex from Mr. Arashi, but was rejected due to his homosexuality and pedophilia. Despite also taking part in assaulting Midori both violently and sexually, Benitsu would later be the one to defend Midori. Kanabun the Boy-Girl: The fourth circus performer – the fire-swallowing psychopath who is characterized by overt cruelty and bloodlust. This sole teenager of the circus is one of the members who caused Midori's attempt to escape the camp after murdering her adopted puppies without her knowledge and serving them as supper to their peers, which Kanabun implied through taunting her. Though Kanabun is dressed as a dollish girl, the bullying sadist once urinated in front of Midori, then flashed their male genitalia at her while wiggling and masturbating in her face just to freak Midori out before raping her, thus revealing that Kanabun is intersex. However, Kanabun is considered a boy by the other circus members as well as Mr. Arashi's sadomasochistic sex slave. Masamitsu the Bottled Wonder:
