Negishi is envious of the popularity DMC and his Krauser persona enjoy in contrast to the music he actually wants to play being ridiculed his Krauser persona begins to emerge more often, which leads to Krauser's popularity growing. Playing his music in the street earns him nothing but the disapproval of bystanders for his cheesy pop songs. The Krauser persona also functions as an outlet to vent his frustration over his failing personal career, which has not advanced beyond being a street musician. Furthermore, he feels obligation to the rest of the band and his label and is always roped back in by the manager of the band's label. Under his meager exterior, Negishi is a rageaholic and also is very skilled at guitar playing. Negishi despises DMC and all that it stands for, but he can't walk away from his role as the band's psychotic frontman. The songs of DMC often encourage the audience to engage in immoral and illegal behavior, such as rape or murder, or tell of Krauser's exploits with similar actions, in a parody of the genre. Dreams don't pay the bills, so he's ended up as the lead singer and guitarist of a blackened death metal band, "Detroit Metal City." In his stage costume, he is Johannes Krauser II, rumored to be a terrorist demon from hell, to have killed and raped his parents, to wield his giant death penis with abandon, and other menacing tales being told about him after each public performance. Soichi Negishi is a shy young musician who dreams of a career in pop.
