{{w|Neku Sakuraba}} is the main protagonist of ''{{w|The World Ends with You}}''. Born and raised in Shibuya, Neku is an ardent fan of graffiti art. He hates people and makes every effort to seal himself off from the outside world, even wearing headphones wherever he goes. Neku's life takes a turn when he wakes up lying facedown in the middle of Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, with his name the only thing he remembers. While attacked by creatures called Noise, Neku met [[Shiki|Shiki Misaki]] and partnered with her as they both need each other to survive the Reaper Game. During the week, Neku met [[Beat]] and [[Rhyme]] while learning of the Reapers and that he is actually dead. By the end of the week, after defeating the Game Master Yodai Higashizawa, Neku was given back his memories, the entry for the Reaper Game.


Neku's life takes a turn when he wakes up lying facedown in the middle of Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, with no memories of anything but his name. He discovers he must participate in the "Reaper's Game", in which he and a partner must complete daily tasks within a certain time limit for 7 days, or else they will be "erased". During the missions, he combats Noise, demons summoned by the Reapers, as well as the Reapers themselves. As he is forced to complete 3 weeks of the game, Neku slowly opens up to the outside world, learning new things about other people and himself.
When told he would be involved in the second Reaper Game, Neku is horrified that Shiki is his payment fee.Neku meets [[Joshua]] during the second week and, despite faint memories of being killed by the youth, partnered with him prior to his assumed death by the Game Master Sho Minamimoto. During the third week, Neku is partnered with the rouge Reaper Beat as the sole mission of the week is to find and defeat the Reaper Mitsuki Konishi. However, though managing to defeat her, Neku learns the role he played as Joshua's proxy with Shibuya's Conductor Megumi Kitaniji, whose actions served to save Shibuya from destruction from Joshua, as his final opponent. Soon after, Neku is offered a chance to save Shibuya by killing Joshua in a pistol duel. Though he refused to shoot Joshua, now trusting him though still unable to forgive him, the fact that Neku slowly opened up to the outside world within three weeks convinces Joshua to spare the district while giving Neku and his friends a second chance in life.
