User blog:Revriley/Ongoing DMDP Notes

Shortly after I acquired Chapter 1--well before I founded this wiki--I'd started taking personal notes on names, species, places, and other somesuch information gleaned from the chapters for later reference. Today (June 15, 2019), I thought it wouldn't hurt to write up those notes in a blog post here so that others may benefit from it as well (though there are still no 'others' whom are editing).

Since Chapter 32 came out earlier this month, some of these names will have long since been verified. Still, for posterity, I will copy over all the notes beginning from their beginning (and hopefully continue to update this blog post from here on). Note that these were originally written for personal use.

Characters

 * Polka Shinoyama (Corpse God)
 * Polka Shinoyama (Original) - 16 years old
 * Misaki Sakimiya (Assassin "Zaki")
 * In Chapter 8 she mentions a Hagane-chan (her friend?)
 * Heiress of Sakimiya Steel
 * Takumi Kuruya (informant)


 * Clarissa Kuraki (Also referred to as 'Lisa' and 'Rissa.' Runs a freelance agency--cum-bar/cub in Shinjuku)
 * In Chapter 6, Iwanome checks with Clarissa that the boss of the men injured in the human knots case was her protege Jinba. Underneath Jinba (according to a hierarchy diagram shown in one of the chapteres was): [Hidden name]; Yamauchi; Osato; Saku.


 * Tsubaki Iwanome (Shinjuku Community Safety Division, Third Data Compilation Manager), inspector
 * Kozaburo Arase (detective)
 * "Kozaburo Arase" was the spelling YP used when they individually published his debut chapter, but they changed the spelling in that panel in the published volume (to Kouzaburou Arase). Maybe we should update his name to reflect that, at minimum with accented Os?
 * Fumiyo Yamada (elderly lady; 25-year veteran of Shinjuku station)
 * Aikawa (black-haired woman; seems to be the coroner or involved in autopsies)
 * Saimyouji
 * Chapter 21 mentions a "Pop" Tozawa" and "Yatsu"
 * Update: Their full names have been revealed to be Danjo Tozawa and Ranmaru Yatsu
 * Lemmings = Nezu
 * Yochigi woman debuts Chapter 17
 * She and Lemmings work for Takeru; his people have been referred to as the "Dragon King's Palace Agency" at least once.
 * Sir Shagrua (the Calamity Crusher); full name revealed to be Shagrua Edith Lugrid


 * Shinjuku Troublemakers
 * "The Gator Sisters" (only one of them is alive/in custody?)
 * "The Barber"
 * "Riddle Riddle"
 * "The Grocer"
 * "The Poisoner"
 * "Donner Donner"
 * "The Mystery Solitaire" = Sorimura Tena (Tena Sorimura)
 * UPDATE: Yen Press has started calling him "Phantom Solitaire," and it looks like Tena is actually his given name. Consistency, YP, I beg you...
 * Sorimura impersonates innocent citizen "Shota Yamanoura" in Chapter 29
 * "The Grim Reaper"
 * "Fire-Breathing Bug"
 * The nameless husband of Rozan's niece hires a man who claims to be FBB to off the young Shinoyama siblings/set fire to the manor...but Ch17 reveals the man is an impostor called "Know" by Sorimura. FFB kills Know.


 * Shinoyama Clan
 * Rozan Shinoyama (patriarch; 79 years old)
 * Kanon Shinoyama (deceased second wife; mother to Polka)
 * Gaku Shinoyama (son by first wife)
 * Takeru Shinoyama (Gaku's eldest son; 26 years old)
 * Kiri Shinoyama (Takeru's wife; 24 years old; 2nd-eldest daughter of wealthy family)
 * Suzuka Shinoyama (Gaku's oldest daughter; deceased)
 * Sayo Shinoyama (Gaku's second oldest daughter; 20)
 * Shizuki and Kazuki Shinoyama (twin brother and sister; youngest of Gaku's children)
 * Lei Xiaoyu (Sayo's escort; boy)
 * Update--"Xiaoyu Lei" instead, I think, since Lei appears to be the family name.
 * Older sister's name is Imbi, c.f. Chapter 30


 * "Granny" that Tena contacts in Chapter 28 works at the old maid cafe Amaguri


 * Miyabi Hosorogi (spirit; former inspector and at one point chief)
 * Misaki dubs his type as an "Intelli-yakuza weapon"
 * Senior Commissioner Habaki (works at Tokyo's main police hub)
 * Superintendent General Jirotarou Takasu
 * Yen Press writes his name in that order in Ch28, but I suspect Jirotarou is his family name since Iwanome doesn't refer to him as 'Takasu'

Places

 * Shakuzawa Building (where fire breaks out)
 * Abandoned Building (former torture/execution body-dumping site owned by Clarissa where Corpse God lives); 'The Shop' for fortune-telling business (maybe)
 * Clarissa's Bar/Club

Misc
(Shark movie names, etc)

Other World
Characters, Places, Magic, etc to be added ('Sarabamond' from Ch31 probably goes here)

Characters

 * Romelka (Wood Mage--nymmph?)
 * "Court's seventh-highest sorcerer" stated in Vol 2, Episode 2
 * Corpse God's necromancer mentor
 * Romelka calls her "Easlies" in Vol 2, Episode 2--finally, a name??
 * "Sarabamond" mentioned by FFB in Chapter 31--could be Other World related
 * Recuria
 * Hieromancer from offshoot of Geldwood; Shagrua was friends with her and perhaps "something more"
 * Daryl (general)

Places + Organizations?
This is where I feel a bit helpless since YP keeps changing up the spellings and I can't be certain which I should use.


 * "Byady Peninsula," later nicknamed the "Abandoned Peninsula"
 * The empire Corpse God served was based on this peninsula
 * In volume one, CG asks about the "empire of Byady#rig" with the # implying it's some pronunciation we just wouldn't get

A mountain range exists as a natural border between this kingdom and CG's home base.
 * Kingdom of Nyanild OR Nywandil
 * Volume 1 spells this kingdom's name as Nywandil, but Volume 2 spells it as Nyanild.
