This page is about the character from the film universe, for the novel character, see Shujumi (novel).
Shujumi was a private in the Mobile Infantry. Prior to enlisting, he was accepted to Harvard University; unable to afford tuition, he joined the Federal Service so that the Federation could pay for his college education.
History[]
Before the war against the arachnids begin, he was a member of Johnny's team. After Breckinridge is accidentally killed by Djana'D, while Johnny was given ten lashes later, he was visibly devastated. During the Battle of Klendathu, it may be implied that Shujumi was high on some sort of stimulant, with the way he clenches his jaw, cheers at the turbulence, and the overconfident and reckless way he was advancing ahead of his squad, but he'd be flanked by a Warrior Bug, severing his leg at the knee. This injury sent Shujumi into shock as the warrior picked him up. Giving credence to the notion that "Bugs don't take prisoners", The warrior threw Shujumi into a swarm of other Warriors who quickly descended upon him, completely tearing Shujumi apart limb from limb, much to Katrina's horror.
