Shin Nemoto

Shin Nemoto (音本 真) is one of the Eight Expendables who works for the Eight Precepts of Death.

Appearance
Shin is a thin, medium-sized man. He wears a black cape and hat with sneakers, along with a characteristic black plague mask of the Eight Precepts of Death.

Personality
Because Overhaul was the only truly sincere person he ever met, Shin is extremely devoted to him. Due to being granted knowledge about his boss's plans, Shin holds himself in high-esteem among the Eight Expendables, viewing himself as special and the only one of the group worthy of walking alongside Overhaul. Shin's loyalty to Overhaul is enough to make him follow his boss even after getting completely overwhelmed in battle.

History
Shin used to be a hardened con artist, becoming aware of how people always masked their true nature and weaknesses, even if they were unaware of it themselves. Those he spoke to would always lie to him before Shin forced them to tell the truth, leading them to keep their distance from him as the con man grew further disillusioned.

Shin joined the Eight Precepts of Death after being intentionally scouted by them. Overhaul's villainous, yet honest intentions convinced Shin to accept his new purpose in life.

Internship Arc
Overhaul, Chronostasis, Shin, and another member defeat Team Reservoir Dogs and destroy their getaway vehicle.

When Chisaki starts fighting the League of Villains, members of the Eight Precepts of Death come to his aid, including Shin. Tomura Shigaraki decides not to continue the fight, and the yakuza leave.

When multiple heroes, their interns, and the Police Force invade the Precepts' HQ, the Eight Expendables are sent to fight the heroes to buy time for Chisaki to escape. Shin is teamed up up with Deidoro Sakaki and they confront Mirio Togata in the tunnels beneath the compound. Deidoro uses his Quirk to destabilize Mirio's balance, giving Shin a chance to shoot him with his gun, failing to do so due to Mirio's Permeation. Shin uses his Quirk to break Mirio's will to fight convincing him that he is only saving Eri to make himself feel better, because he had to overlook her suffering so things could proceed smoothly. When Shin and Deidoro try to finish of Mirio, he uses his Killing Move: Phanton Menace to defeat both.
