Synopsis
History
Shiu is a Korean National and former detective who works in Japan now.[1] While he can see curses, he is not a sorcerer. He has known Toji for over ten years and has even babysat Megumi Fushiguro after his mother died.[2]
Gojo's Past Arc
Shiu mediated the hit contract for the Time Vessel Association and meets up with Toji Fushiguro, to plan an assassination of the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai. Shiu refers to Toji as «Zen'in» but was rebuffed since Toji is not a Zen'in anymore, and goes by Toji «Fushiguro» now.[3]
He later meets up with Toji, betting on a boat race. The two discuss the thirty million yen Toji spent to wear down Satoru Gojo, bit Shiu need to bring back a report to his client and remains skeptical of Toji. Shiu states he's counting on him and asks how Megumi Fushiguro is doing, but Toji can't even remember who that is.[4]
Shiu later calls Toji, discussing the situation with Riko, the Star Plasma Vessel. Shiu states that the thirty million yen paid to Toji was a service fee so if someone else kills the Star Plasma Vessel, Toji may end up with nothing, which doesn't worry Toji. Toji reveals his plan on using weak curse users to wear down Gojo's group. It will be free labor since no one will be able to cash in on the bounty. Shiu realizes that this makes the limit of two days turn out in their favor. Additionally, it makes it easier for them to gather curse users. Toji tells Shiu to have thirty million ready, but the Shiu wants to talk about his cut, which disinterests Toji. [5]
After Toji kidnapped Misato Kuroi, he took her to Shiu and ordered him to take her somewhere far and kill her. Despite his orders, Shiu kept her alive and transported her to Okinawa using the Time Vessel Association's private jet, knowing that her livelihood would create a false sense of security to the Star Plasma Vessel's entourage.[6]
Toji successfully assassinates Riko and brings her body to Shigeru Sonoda, a direct representative of the Star Religious Group. There they discuss the consequences for Master Tengen and the jujutsu world. After discussing the event that happened Toji asks him to go out for food, but Shiu says he'd only associate with Toji in business or in hell.[7]
Shiu then meets Suguru Geto at the building that once served as the Time Vessel Association Headquarters. Shiu criticizes Geto's appearance as he should at least play the part for the group.[8]
