Shigeki Yonemura (米村 茂樹, Yonemura Shigeki) is a student of 9th Grade Class 3 in 1998, in Yomiyama North Middle School.

Appearance
Shingeki was a boy with a slightly pale complexion and slightly below average height. He has light brown hair, which he styles in a similar way to Ikuo Takabayashi. He is only seen wearing the standard male uniform.

When he is only mentioned in the manga and the novel, the anime is the only version that shows his physical appearance.

Personality
Yonemura was shown as a sociable, friendly and calm young man, which was seen in the company of Takeru Mizuno, and his friends Manabu Maejima and Kenzou Kawahori. However, after the events that occurred due to the calamity, they were reasons enough for him to gradually become aware of the situation in which he was and that is why he did not participate in the school trip.

Plot
He made his debut in "Rough Sketch" as one of the characters socializing during break on Kouichi's first day of school. Shigeki was in class when Kubodera killed himself and was one of the students who fled the room.

Along with Haruka Etou, Kazue Satou, Megumi Tatara, Sachiko Nakajima, Naomi Fujimaki and Takeru Mizuno, he didn't attend the school excursion in "Glass Eye", which most likely allowed him to survive the calamity.

Trivia

 * He is ranked A in Another characters ranking.

 * He only has dialogue in the novel, during one of the Interludes.
