Zanku the Beheader is a notorious street-slasher feared by the public, having formerly been an executioner at the Empire's largest prison.
Zanku once served as an executioner in the Empire's largest prison.
After decades of beheading people begging for their lives every day, the act became a deep-seated habit.
He eventually grew dissatisfied with only executing people in prison and became a street-slasher to sate his urges.
Zanku murdered the prison warden and stole his Teigu, "Spectator," which prompted the formation of a subjugation team, but he vanished immediately after.
His hobby is chatting, but this is also a coping mechanism to drown out the resentful voices of those he has killed.
He is known for his signature catchphrase, "How delightful, how delightful!"
After returning to the Imperial Capital and resuming his street-slashing, Night Raid accepted a request for his assassination.
He managed to separate Tatsumi and Akame, using his Teigu to push Tatsumi into a corner.
However, he was ultimately killed by Akame, who rushed to the scene.
In his final moments, Zanku thanked Akame, as the tormenting voices of the dead that had haunted him for years finally fell silent.
Five Sights: Spectator
Zanku's Teigu is the "Five Sights: Spectator."
