Kisaku

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
Still a hard-working...Oh wait, it's his younger brother.

A 2001 H Game by elf, the creators of Shuusaku.

Kisaku Itou just learned on the newspaper that his brother Shuusaku died, ran over by a car. Does he really care? No. Kisaku however does criticize him for being too quick on his objectives and trying to rape women in an incredibly short period of time, and that his methods are much more slower, methodical, and efficient. Our protagonist then decides to check the newspaper for employment opportunities, finally settling for dormitory manager of Sugimoto Pharmaceuticals, a big company specialized on herbal Chinese medicine.

His objective is very simple: check who are the hottest women around, discover compromising material about them, blackmail, and rape them. However, thanks to his long-term methods, that also means he must keep his job, so it can't be all fun for him, to his annoyance.

Just like his predecessor, Kisaku is a Simulation Game , but like stated above in a much longer frame of time: Kisaku must choose first how he will spend the weeks of the next month, and then what to do every weekend when it arrives. At determinate parts the game, he must obtain a certain number of points to avoid a game over. The game also have mini-game at certain events, which are either optional or not for the player to win, one of tennis and one of bowling.

Just like his predecessor too, our protagonist also constantly talks back to the player, reacting to his choices, often in an annoyed way, because as turns out, despite being a rapist thug, Kisaku can do pretty, pretty good things. After all, as he himself says, he and the player are like one.

Kisaku was adapted into a OVA series of the same name in 2002.

Tropes used in Kisaku include:
  • All Girls Want Bad Boys: Seeing Kisaku threaten and cut a delinquent trying to rape her makes Madoka fall head over heels for him.
  • Arranged Marriage: Presidente Sugimoto tries to set up one with Kisaku. Kisaku tries his best to sabotage it, for the sheer idea of it, since it would interfere with his endless schemes to blackmail and rape women.
  • Awful Truth: Kisaku ends up revealing to Yuuri while taking her virginity that her father cheats on her mom. That further devastates her along being violated.
  • Bad Boss: Madoka finds a rare pornographic tape for Kisaku and he still dismiss her without giving her the pleasure she asked for.
  • Blue and Orange Morality: Kisaku has his own twisted sense of honor where he can only rape women by blackmail, and consensual sex is somehow for losers, even when easily available. It also makes him reject any kind of consensual relationship or social climbing unless he is absolutely certain that he will have cute girls to blackmail and rape thereafter.
  • Cat Scare:
    • In the true ending route, a CG of Kisaku looking at an angel statue, only for the camera to pan and spin, stopping on an angel's face that suddenly moves his eyes, happening so fast that is shocking, but the implications are actually good.
    • Also in the true ending, the mysterious girl fading into existence inside Kisaku's apartment. Unlike many other NPCs, Kisaku also doesn't see it coming, so it's a surprise for him too when he turns around. She is not a evil entity, so there's nothing really to fear though.
  • Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Ayano is shocked to learn all the effort Kisaku put into working Sugimoto Pharmaceuticals was solely to blackmail and rape women. In the "President" ending, she forces Kisaku to put his talents at least to train her into becoming his sucessor after a few years, making a deal so he can keep doing his nasty sexual schemes.
  • Diabolus Ex Machina: In the Madoka and Death endings, the delinquent who previously threatened Madoka comes out of nowhere to stab Kisaku, with either him or Madoka dying.
  • Driven to Suicide: Aoi threatens suicide after her last scene with Kisaku, driven to despair by the moral conflict of having a child from her rapist Kisaku or aborting it, deciding her unborn kid will forgive her if she dies as well. He leaves before she does it, but a late-game conversation with Jinno reveals she did it later in her house's own bathtub, but survived.
  • Fat Bastard: Kanji is introduced molesting Yuuri, something Kisaku avoids with help of the player.
  • Fourth Wall Mail Slot: President Sugimoto will break the wall in certain game overs to tell the player and Kisaku how act to prevent them.
  • Freudian Excuse: Invoked, with Momoko trying to find one for Kisaku to convince herself he is deep good inside. Kisaku does end up revealing he had a pretty bad childhood, living in poverty and with his family treating him badly.
  • Genre Savvy: In the true ending, Kisaku is certain that the mysterious girl is some kind of supernatural entity. He is right, but the church scene makes it pretty clear she is actually an angel and not an earth-bound spirit like he thinks.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Shouko wears twin tails and is pretty girly.
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Played with, as Aoi had an abortion, but feels a heavy amount of guilty of it, and the idea of maybe needing another abortion drives her to tears and then suicide after Kisaku ejaculates inside her over and over.
  • Golden Ending: Sexually breaking all the girls is a subversion: it starts a time loop revolved around the "mysterious girl", some enigmatic entity seeking to save Kisaku's soul, throwing the player back into the start but now with less dialogue options..
  • Hair of Gold: Aoi fits the trope almost to an T, being a kind, young, beautiful girl, though not exactly innocent.
  • Heel Face Door Slam: Kisaku refuses any of Momoko's attempts at redemption.
  • Hospital Hottie: Aoi Akimoto, one of Kisaku's targets, is a pretty nurse with a curvy body.
  • The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: Madoka do not resists to Kisaku, and we mean it. When he brings up his blackmail material, she acts amused, and treats having sex with him almost as a challenge. When he tries to rape her, and by that we mean doing no foreplay, in no time she doesn't need it anyway because he arouses her. Basically, she is playing along with his blackmail method, but he really doesn't need it.
  • Meganekko: Aoi is a sweet delicate girl with glasses. Sadly for her, Kisaku only sees that sweetness as more of a reason to blackmail and rape her.
  • Murder-Suicide:
    • Yuuri attempts it on Kisaku after being raped a few times. It invariably fails.
    • Aoi sure that she is pregnant after being raped so much by Kisaku, but decides to kill herself because she couldn't stand doing a second abortion after regretting her first.
  • Nietzsche Wannabe: Kisaku tries to lecture Momoko about how is natural for him to act solely for self-pleasure because life is all that is to him.
  • No Fourth Wall: Kisaku not only adresses the player, he outright complains or praises every decision he makes.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Kisaku manages to get away with using the incredibly rude pronoun "kisama" towards President Sugimoto by playing it as them being close, something Sugimoto laughs about.
  • Sexy Secretary: Ayano is pretty, curvy, and is seen almost the entire time along with President Sugimoto as his personal assistant.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: President Sugimoto and Minami are the highest ranking members of Sugimoto Pharmaceuticals and both wear glasses.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Kisaku looks a lot like Shuusaku. In true route, the audience also gets to see a photo of baby Kisaku with his mom and nonetheless to say his mom looks exactly like him.
  • Too Kinky to Torture: Madoka gets pleased by everything Kisaku does, so his efforts to try to make her suffer invariably fail.
  • We Can Rule Together: In the "President" ending, Ayano forces Kisaku to join her under certain conditions so she can become future president of Sugimoto Pharmaceuticals and he can keep doing his sexual schemes, and also not go to prison.
  • Wham! Shot: In the true ending route, the camera suddenly panning of what seemed to be an two-dimension image to reveal the angel statue is in three-dimensions and moves by itself reveals something akin to the christian god exists and is watching over Kisaku.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Kisaku hits Ayano several times while raping her and threatens to tear out her genitals with his bare hands if she doesn't behave the way he likes.
  • Victim Falls For Rapist: Momoko and Madoka both fall for Kisaku, though it is made pretty clear Madoka is attracted towards him even before by comments you hear from her.
  • Villain Protagonist: Kisaku wants to blackmail women and rape them. Everything else is an accessory to it.
  • Your Cheating Heart: Tatsuya Himeno is cheating on his unnamed wife, Yuuri's mother, with Madoka, something Kisaku stumbles into.
