However, beneath this charming exterior lies a more serious and strategic side; he is highly intelligent and resourceful, often using his cunning to navigate the challenges presented in the deadly survival game. Keigo is fiercely loyal to his friends, especially to his love interest, and he demonstrates a strong sense of justice. Despite his upbeat demeanor, he can also be ruthless when necessary, revealing a darker aspect of his personality when faced with betrayal or threats. Overall, he embodies a blend of charm, intelligence, and intensity.
History
Keigo Kurusu’s history in Future Diary is marked by his involvement in the deadly survival game orchestrated by the God of Time, Deus Ex Machina. He is the holder of the “Necklace Diary,” which allows him to predict the future of his loved ones and assists him in his strategic planning during the game.
Kurusu chooses to eliminate himself from the game.
Keigo’s life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes a participant in the survival game, where he must compete against other diary holders, each with unique abilities. Throughout the series, his motivations are driven by his desire to protect those he cares about, particularly his love interest, Yuno Gasai.
As the story unfolds, Keigo faces numerous challenges, including betrayals and shifting alliances. His background as a popular and confident student becomes increasingly complicated as he navigates the dark realities of the game. Ultimately, his experiences shape him into a more complex character, revealing both his strengths and vulnerabilities. His history intertwines with themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for survival, making him a pivotal figure in the narrative.
Diary & Abilities
Keigo Kurusu wields the Criminal Investigation Diary, a specialized cellphone that allows him to foresee criminal activities within his jurisdiction. This power proves invaluable in tracking the other participants of the Survival Game, most of whom are sociopaths embroiled in various illegal acts. However, the diary’s predictive abilities are limited to the outcomes of his own investigations, compelling Kurusu to strategically utilize the information at his disposal.
The Criminal Investigation Diary
As the Chief of Police in Sakurami City, Kurusu commands complete authority over the police force, a fact that underscores his cautious and manipulative nature. His subordinates fight on his behalf without knowledge of his involvement in the Survival Game, which speaks to his adeptness at maintaining control. For instance, he orchestrated a tactical operation by deploying a full team of special units (SWAT in both the manga and anime) to encircle Sakurami Hospital, nearly trapping Yukiteru, Yuno, and Minene Uryuu.
In addition to his strategic prowess, Kurusu is an expert marksman, capable of hitting targets with pinpoint accuracy. During Minene’s assault on Yukiteru and Yuno’s school, he showcased remarkable skill by shooting at her with enough precision to keep her at bay without causing any fatalities—an essential consideration, as killing her would trigger explosives that could annihilate the entire building. Ever cautious, he wears a bulletproof vest at all times, reinforcing his reputation as a prepared and calculated individual.
Both Deus and Muru Muru regard Kurusu as a frontrunner in the Survival Game, acknowledging his formidable blend of intelligence, strategy, and combat skill.
