@leavetheshack

SUMMARY
Another twitter account that loves Akira and speaks in Japanese. The account joined Twitter around the same time that Richie's blog became consumed. This page will be dedicated to @leavetheshack's activity during these past few days and will include any translations from their timeline since the beginning of these events. @leavetheshack's bio '私は指が多すぎます -石' roughly translates to 'I have too many fingers - stone' and their account name '石垣' supposedly means 'Stone wall'. Their icon is the crude sketch of The Doll/Akira that Richie seemed to have drawn himself in order to pinpoint Doll's key features (wide eyes, big smile).

Akira claims @leavetheshack is Mitsutaro Ishigaki. Using this knowledge we can assume that @leavetheshack is in personal relations with The Doll/Akira, and is likely to be helping them, managing certain aspects of the operation (the Twitter), while Akira manages others.

@leavetheshack shares a name with Ishikagi Koutarou, another hint that they and Akira are in personal relations as both names reference the anime Yowamushi Pedal.

While using Akira's blog, Bekah found there was a 19 year old with Ishigaki's name that committed suicide 6 months ago.

(UPDATE) Ishigaki now has a Tumblr account, ishiandaki.tumblr.com, where he is answering asks (not anonymous) in relation to his situation. We can come to know more about Ishigaki now that he is speaking more openly, and we can come to the decision through this of whether he is on our side or not.

ANALYSIS
Judging by the translations of these tweets, @leavetheshack seems to be quite devoted to Akira, and is very much defending him and his actions. It could even be said that he is so in love that he excuses Akira's actions, despite knowing how dangerous he really is. It also seems that @leavetheshack does not mind what Akira does to him because of this. @leavetheshack seems to be mentally unstable, if there identity is revealed to be anything close to human at all, and may be suffering from delusions, due to the fact that he does not seem to be able to tell if he is alive or dead. In regards to Bekah answering asks on Akira's original blog, an anon asks this in relation to Ishigaki.."Anonymous asked: Hey Bekah, this is a bit out of the blue, but did you see anything about Akira's boyfriend having an accident of any sort after you guys all drifted apart? We're theorising on this whole thing and we are starting to suspect that he may be dead.. or half dead, if that is even a thing and that he may still be connected to Akira through some way. ""Bekah: i didn’t rly know his bf so i’m not sure. i can remember what he looked lik but his name is kinda…escaping me. if u can give me his name in kanji i can check the local obituaries?"The anons were able to obtain the kanji for Ishigaki's full name and alerted Bekah of their findings.."Anonymous asked: 石垣光太郎 is the Kanji, (hopefully), we've done all the research we could do. Hope it helps!""okay…ya there was a 19-y/o with that name who died in kyoto around 6 months ago. it was suicide""could be him, doubt there would be anyone with the exact same name but you never know"With this new information, along with @leavetheshack's new tweets on the matter, Skeeter's input and Akira's view on the issue as well, we can safely say that is not 'living' as an actual person, and something terrible happened to him.

(UPDATE) According to Part 2 of Akira's game, Ishigaki is in fact dead, and Akira confirms it with the profile he has set up for him. Akira says that he plans on using him in some way to help him, and if we are able to prevent Ishigaki from turning to him despite his devotion, we could perhaps prevent that. Akira gives away the location of Ishigaki's ' resting place'.

Ishigaki died of suicide, further elaborating on the relationship he may have had with Akira while he was alive. Akira states that he  'loved me too much for his own good', which could point to Akira perhaps being the reason Ishigaki died, due to a curse that resides with him even in death.
