The lieutenant chooses to take his own his own life rather than battling his closest friends. Sadly his wife Rieko follows him, taking her own life out of loyalty and respect for her husband.

Every morning before he leaves for duty, he and Reiko would stand before the God shelf and bow before the Imperial Majesties. This is a routine tradition that they did to show respect and their honor to the Imperial Majesties. Both Shinji and Rieko are round characters in the story.
