Doll

The Doll is an akira doll from Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan. He goes by Akira (but according to part 1 of the game, Akira's also a nickname) and writes in Japanese (often with a glitch). The Dolls mother is dead. He kidnapped Richie and Eddie when they were on a hike with Bill at the "Clank Hill". According to Akira, they were trespassing.

The Doll hates light. The Doll is aware of what Bill is doing. According to Richie, The Doll likes it warm. Richie could not hurt the Doll, this could mean the Doll is unable to be physically interacted with.

The Doll's name 'Akira' appears to be related to Midousuji Akira, consistent with the Doll's tumblr URL "midousquishy". Elements of the Dolls backstory also appear related to Midousuji Akira, the Doll claims that their mother is desceased due to sickness which is a parellel to the fate of Midousuji Akira's mother.

The Doll is midousquishy on tumblr (currently not in control of his blog, bekah is running it.)

harfapark@gmail.com is Doll's supposed email address, revealed while he was trying to get back into his hacked account. Feel free to check this out!

WHEREABOUTS
While we have been given the information that Doll originates from Japan, and has had housing (in some way or another) in Kyoto, the possibility that he is able to teleport (being a suspected yokai and also shown in the fact that he teleported Richie and Eddie from their hiking destination in their home country AND how he was able to whisk Richie away after he and Eddie reunited) brings forth the theory that he, Richie and Eddie may not be Japan currently. On the morning of the 7th of Dec, Richie posted an image of a clean looking corridor of sorts, with a bright yellow wall. Upon further research into Doll's email address (harfapark@gmail.com), it has come to light that Harfa Park is a location in Czechia with a website assigned to it.

The website, http://www.harfa-park.cz/harfa-park-vi/, holds a google map within it, and an address next to it. Looking deeper into this address, we can see that that said location is a bright yellow building. It is possible that Doll has teleported Richie to an entirely different location altogether. (NOTE: This is all speculation and nothing has been confirmed yet, but the fact that Doll posted his email address in that screenshot must be relevant in some aspect and the bright yellow walls of Richie's new above ground location seem to be a dead give away.) 

CURRENT KNOWN LOCATION (As off the 7th of Dec)
Akira has revealed where exactly he is in his profile shown in Part 2 of the game, according to the google map he has linked us to, he is currently located between Europe and the United Kingdom, as it seems, inept on making his way over to Bekah and their friends. He has left Richie and Eddie along in the Czech Republic (as it turns out, he is definitely keeping them there after all).

IDENTITY
Doll has been referred to as a 'puppet' of sorts and supposedly has an offputting, hollow body. This is illustrated in the drawing given to us by Richie on the ask blog. The Doll being an vengeful spirit is not a ridiculous speculation, as the hollow form of it's body would be supporting that notion. In relation to Bill's findings (as seen on @bigbillden's page), The Doll could be a spirit dislodged from it's body through the use of a curse, a Yokai by the name of Ikiryo, and a lot of the themes tied to these creatures and their legends reflect on such topics as dissociation and unconsciousness, as well as feelings of extreme, tormented love (this could connect to the relationship that Akira and Ishigaki seem to share in this whole situation). The history of the Ikiryo folklore also refers to such subjects such as 'sleepwalking and out-of-body experiences', and according to hidden links found in Part 1 of The Doll's game, the topic of 'delusions' as a whole are apparently important to this case, said delusions may be referring back to a curse that may have been placed on The Doll by Ishigaki or vice versa. OR, Bill has acknowledged that The Doll may be a Tatarigami, an angry spirit that wreaks havoc on those who have wronged him, which would be in character for Doll, as his links on his blogs have stated that he wants to get back at the world for what it has done to him. They are gods of destruction, and it is true that Doll wants to fufill this until he gets 'bored' with it all.

The Doll has answered another ask in relation to him being an object owned by Ishigaki, in which he seemed quite offended in his response of 'I own Ishigaki', to the point where he made an entire separate post about it.... 私は石垣を所有しています.

それをひねらないでください. 'I own Ishigaki. Please do not twist it.' Leading to the realisation that Akira/Doll is the Tatarigami, and Ishigaki is the Ikiryo.

Akira doesn't seem to be fully intact with his other name, Sho, and while this could mean a lot of things, 'Akira' could be the name of the yokai while 'Sho' is the name of the yokai's host.

CHARACTERISTICS
According to Bekah, "he's in his 2nd year, he's kind of the ringleader of some of the weird kids in his school, he had a boyfriend (???) who graduated last year, he's rly into toys n shit, and i used to have to hang around him for club shit/school shit"

Akira is extremely transphobic, constantly misgendering and deadnaming Eddie and Bekah. He is even beginning to reference Eddie's gender in his torture. While the misgendering doesn't seem to get to Bekah, Eddie is very upset by it.

Akira very much believes himself to be in the right, and sees himself as a god of sorts, which would explain the use of Ryuk in his bio.

SQUISHIES
The Doll main interest seems to be in squishies, enthusiastic in his goal of selling them and collecting them, perhaps due to their cuteness and maybe even, as Richie noted, their effective stress relief. Richie suggested that maybe The Doll is just stressed, and in reference to the above information on the idea that The Doll may be a trapped soul dislodged from it's original body, it would make sense that The Doll may be suffering heavily. The Doll is quite passionate about the range of squishies it owns, to the point where Richie believes that if he were to damage any of them, he may get mad at him.

The Doll likes ibloom brand squishies the best, as shown by him sparing Richie when he chose the ibloom squishy and punishing Eddie when he didn't.

BISCUITS
The Doll has referred to making biscuits multiple times, most of them also mentioning using Richie amd Eddie's fingers or toes to make them. The pictures he has been posting of said biscuits show the same sort, a simple baked, thick biscuit, and for now, it seems as though these are the only things The Doll is able to bake and supply to his hostages. The Doll has made many untrustworthy comments to Richie about the biscuits, to the point where Richie refuses to eat any that are offered to him.

BLOG (MIDOUSQUISHY.TUMBLR.COM)
After initially taking over Richie's blog, The Doll is moved to his own separate blog, with click links and a distorted theme. Upon this first happening, the link to askyaboyrichie.tumblr.com was broken for some time, opening only on a page with an error message highlighting a corrupted call for help from Richie followed by a 'proceed' button and a 'nevermind' button. The proceed button linked straight to The Doll's new blog.

The bio of this new blog reads...

こんにちは！ 私の名前は翔です. 私はスクイーズを集める. 私はリッチーを奪ったので人々は私を知っています.

Hello! My name is Sho. I gather squeezes, people rob me because I robbed Ritchie.' '''

This was Doll's main blog until Bekah took over it on the 5th of Dec.

INSTAGRAM (INSTAGRAM.COM/MIDOUSQUISHY/#_=_)
In Part 2 of his game, upon pressing the 'squishies' option, you are taken to a new webpage, one filled with what is assumably Akira's collection of squishies. There are handfuls of videos featured on this page, and a few images of the same Akira plush doll that we have seen before, the doll being a sort of representation of himself. The bio just reads in Japanese, 'Squeeze'.

This account, unlike the others.. seems to have been active for some time, months even.

The answers to the rarest squishy challenges set out for Richie and Eddie were on here.

If squishies ever come into play again, I would suggest checking out this website!!!

ISHIGAKI / @LEAVETHESHACK
The Doll's relationship with @leavetheshack (Ishigaki) is not as clear as his current standings with Bekah, Slutlips and Skeeter, but it is known that the two seem to be in a romantic relationship of sorts (even if it is mainly one sided as off now), Ishigaki seems committed to Akira, and loves him, defending him and further not revealing any vital information to those who want to defeat him. The post on Akira's blog (back when he was still in control of it) featuring the song 'Fleas' by Katie Dey, holds potential symbolism to this relationship, the lyrics stating 'I can't wait til you're gone', which could be remeniscent to how Akira isn't as fond of Ishigaki as Ishigaki is of him. While @leavetheshack isn't really swaying, there is a chance that we could bring him over to our side if his feelings are severely hurt by Akira in some way or another.

Due to Akira's addressing of him and how Ishigaki sometimes describes himself in his Twitter posts, it is quite possible that Ishigaki is actually dead, and is being held by Akira, which explains the fact that Akira strongly believes that he 'owns' him. It is highly likely that Akira and Ishigaki were in a relationship while Ishigaki was alive, and it is distressing to Akira in some sense that Ishigaki is still around in an unnatural state of being.

Upon being asked by an anon about his relationship with Ishigaki, Akira answers with a response that roughly translates to something along the lines of this..

 'Even if he dies he does not leave me alone.....' 

This further provides evidence to the yokai theory also.

BEKAH
Is quite hostile towards Bekah and claims that he knows things about them that can 'ruin' them, despite the fact that Bekah seems indifferent and even humoured by these threats. Does not seem scared of The Doll, but acknowledges the situation as a serious one never the less. The Doll attempts to insult Bekah by using their deadname to little prevail. Bekah knows a lot of The Doll's 'embarrassing' history, which can be seen in their answers.

SLUTLIPS
Slutlips, like the others, doesn't seem to be able to take Akira seriously, and again, not much is known about their experiences with him.

SKEETER
Not much is known about Skeeter to begin with, but they seem to be highly grossed out by Akira and his interest in bugs (and further his desires to be bug like). Skeeter, knowing this aspect of Akira, is like everyone else, repulsed by him.
