Thug

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

Appearance
He has tan skin and braces. He dresses in a T-shirt with DUNK written on the back, basketball shorts, and laceless sneakers. He also has an earring on one ear, two necklaces, a watch, a ring on his right middle finger, two rings on his left middle and ring fingers, and he wears a handkerchief tied on his head, covered with a white baseball cap. He appears to be of African American origin hence his skin tone, his appearance also resembles a rapper.

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 is also shown to be selfish as he cares for nothing more than his own safety and his own tragedy. This is particularly highlighted when he gropes Rei.

His personality and demeanor before the outbreak is unknown. It could be interpreted that he was more civil before the outbreak, due to his claim that he became insane only because he had to kill his entire infected family and because his demeanor is a more positive one in the picture present in the ending credits of the anime where he is smiling as he is washing a car as his younger sister comes home from school.

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" when the sun rises, a few hours later.
