Thug

The Thug (凶悪犯, Kyōaku-han) is a man who attempts to kidnap Rei Miyamoto in front of the Shaun gas station.

Appearance
He has tan skin and braces. He dresses in a T-shirt, basketball shorts, and laceless sneakers. He also has an earring on one ear, two necklaces, and he wears a handkerchief tied on his head, covered with a white baseball cap.

History
He mentions having a family while he is threatening Takashi. Apparently all of them, including his mother, father, grandmother, brother, and little sister became "them" and he was forced to kill them. This incident made him go insane, and inspired him with an intense hate of "them." He was seen cleaning a silver car while his younger sister returned home from school.

Personality
He is shown to be psychotic and perverted. He cares for nothing more than his own safety and his own tragedy. This is particularly highlighted when he gropes Rei.

Plot
He ambushes Rei while Takashi is in the store. He also gropes her and attempts to force Takashi into giving him all the money that Takashi had taken from the store along with the motorbike. However, Takashi tricks the thug when he's stepping away from the motorbike and shoots him in the shoulder with a pistol given to him by Rei. Takashi and Rei leave him to deal with a dozen of "Them" that are walking out of the darkness into the gas stations light, as the couple leave the station. He gets brutally mauled by several of "Them", dies of massive blood loss, and reanimates as one of "Them" as the run rises a few hours later.
