Inoue Shugo is known by others for his dedication to his work as a surgeon and one of heads of the surgery department. He is intense, dedicated, and generally considered by coworkers as impersonal, distant, harsh yet brilliant. Below his high walls is a man who tampers down any desire for companionship with the drive to deliver dedicated care to patients in a way his late brother was not afforded. At his core, Shugo is lonely but afraid to ever let anyone into his life - selective and guarded.
