* First appearance: Battle 70 * * Type: Dou * Type: Katsujin Ken * Martial Arts: Karate  Mizunuma was formerly the second most bullied student in Kouryou High School, second to Kenichi. In the anime, he was to be picked as Daimonji's opponent, but Kenichi stepped in instead. Inspired by this act of courage, Mizunuma later joins Shinpaku Alliance as one of its pawns, and learns Karate from Alan Subishi from the Kyuukai (Secluded Ogre Association) Dojo located in an abandoned building.  Mizunuma is tall with glasses and smooth hair, not unlike Tanaka Tsutomu's style. Like Kenichi before his fight with Odin, Mizunuma was commonly seen in his school uniform during school, and at his dojo in Karate robes.  Also like Kenichi, Mizunuma is a shy person who was frequently bullied and stands up for his beliefs of righteousness by gaining strength and joining Shinpaku. In this, Mizunuma looks up to Kenichi as a role model. Unlike Kenichi, Mizunuma's sense of justice against enemies is not defensive, but offensive, as seen at one point when he attacked a middle school bully so badly that he caused serious injuries (and even hit Matsui in the face at one point).  His other role model is Alan Subishi, his master. When Alan was incapacitated by Yomi's Tirawit Koukin, Mizunuma was overcome with feelings of revenge and was first to step into the ring during the D of D tournament to advance Shinpaku so that he could fight Yomi.

He is Ren&#039;s persistant manager. When first seen he is serious and all about work, later on we see that he is attactually not that serious and is used for comic relef. At first when he met Kyōko he didn&#039;t seem to like her much. However as he begins to see Ren&#039;s love for her, Yashiro shows his support. He even goes to the extent as to try to get Ren and Kyōko alone together so Ren can make a move. He must use latex gloves when handling any electronics, including his own cell phone, because any electronic device that he touches directly will soon be rendered broken and useless. In particular, he has mentioned that a cell phone will die after about 10 seconds of direct exposure to his skin. (On at least one occassion, Yashiro attempted to coerce Ren into telling him a secret of sorts by holding Ren&#039;s own cell phone, which contains many online dictionaries that Ren uses to understand some less familiar words in scripts, in his bare hand.) Kyoko has theorized that Yashiro naturally transmits strong electric waves. He seems to be an extremely dedicated manager, as he has much, if not all, of Ren&#039;s schedule planned out about one year in advance. (Kyoko learns this when she briefly took over for him as Ren&#039;s manager when he was too ill to work.) In an extra strip in volume 11, it is revealed that the main reason Ren has never been late to a job, despite the crowds of fans that appear nearly everywhere he goes and clearly wish to mob him, is that Yashiro can be pretty dang scary when it comes to his charge, and can stop even the most fervid fans in their tracks with a mere cold glance.

Karim is one of the six priests (guardians) that guarded Pharaoh Atem 3,000 years ago. He wields the Millenium Scales.

He is a voice actor currently affiliated with Production Ace. Previously was a member of Kyuu Production and Aksent.
