Keiichi Maebara
 Keiichi is the main protagonist in the first three "question" arcs. The son of a famous artist, his family recently moved to Hinamizawa after an unfortunate event involving him in their hometown. His charisma and remarkable talent for speech making allow him to easily make new friends and become popular in the village, not to mention win some of the club activities. Early in the story, in the Onikakushi-hen and Tatarigoroshi-hen arcs, he is the one affected by the paranoia and driven to commit murder; however, the inner strength and unshaken belief in his friends he acquires in the other arcs are one of the keys to solving the mystery. Eventually, he is even able to recall some of the events of the past repetitions. When he is in need of a weapon, he wields Satoshi's old baseball bat. It is later revealed in the story that before arriving at Hinamizawa, he was the perpetrator of a series of crimes involving shooting young girls with his toy gun. This was wiki's description of him. Please put in your own opinions or facts.

Aw... No Keiichi love? How rude of you people not to love the main character for several arcs. XD Na. It's okay if you hated him.

Keiichi gives me problems. Although I love his character, his past gets me every single time I think about it (and personally, I think the show was a little too cavalier about forgiving him for it).

Well he didn't kill the poor kids though. He just hit them with the beebee bullets. It's not as horrible as killing. So it's a lot more forgivable than killing little girls. I'm pretty sure it was just because he was being stupid. Now he knows it's wrong and really doesn't want to do it anymore. So it can be forgiven.

True. In the anime, though, it skims over that fact and just says "he shot little girls." I know very little about guns, but I thought that beebees kill too. Was this like those scissors that cut paper but not skin?

Well, back when that happened, I guess you could say Keiichi was too young to really understand the weight of what he did. The same situation could be identified with kids who throw rocks at birds or cats. Just childhood sadism?

Kokoriyu Well, back when that happened, I guess you could say Keiichi was too young to really understand the weight of what he did. The same situation could be identified with kids who throw rocks at birds or cats. Just childhood sadism? He was actually quite smart for his age, although other kids ostrasized him for this, and it caused a lot of stress for him, eventually resulting in the shooting. By the way, one of the girls he shot got hit in the eye, and may have lost sight in it.

Something about Keiichi and Satoshi bother me. But I don't know what it is... I think I just like the female characters (like Rena, Rika, and Hanyuu whee ) so much better than them. And Irie-sensei is just a *****, but at least he can be funny xd .

 The Blue Flame...
Keiichi is like a burning red flame that rush all the way, but not as calm as Rena.
Well, he is the character who got Lv 5 the most times in both the seasons.
 The Red Flame... We Belong Together...

When my friend was describing this anime to me: "This anime is awesome! The main guy dies, like, five times!"
I really didn't like him in the first season, but he kind of grew on me in kai.
