Wakagashira of the Amau-gumi Appearance In his late 40s. He possesses a look of heavy dignity that can only be achieved by one who has survived years of carnage. Dressed impeccably in a well-tailored suit, he appears at first glance to be a quiet, thoughtful intellectual. However, the gaze behind his eyes is piercingly sharp, revealing a cold ruthlessness that can see through anything when faced with an organizational crisis or an unreasonable enemy. In an organization teeming with rough men, he maintains a presence that overwhelms his surroundings with a quiet intensity. Personality His essence lies in his bottomless capacity for looking after others and his high level of insight into his surroundings. He carefully discerns the temperament and individuality of each member, including the younger ones and underlings, and guides them accurately with words suited to each. His presence, sometimes strict and sometimes warm as he encourages his subordinates, was truly the spiritual pillar of the organization. His loyalty to the boss, Keiji Amau, is extremely deep. Despite being a cold-blooded yakuza executive, he possesses a passionate chivalrous heart that values the "principles" and "humanity" of the gokudo path above all else. Fighting Style In normal times, he calmly controls the whole as a command center, but his true worth is demonstrated the moment the organization faces its greatest crisis. When the boss or his comrades fall into a predicament, he stands at the very front to become their shield. During a fierce attack by a rival faction, he stood alone against a swarm of enemies to allow his precious comrades to escape. Even after sustaining fatal wounds all over his body and suffering devastating damage reaching his internal organs, he swung his blade in counterattack without the slightest flinch. He showed a readiness to throw away his own life and a terrifying tenacity in combat to protect the time needed for his subordinates to survive. Daily Life Behind the scenes of glorious combat, he usually puts in steady, hard work as the lubricant of the organization. To ensure the combatants on the front lines can move freely, he takes on the troublesome negotiations of the underworld and the administrative work of the group single-handedly to prepare the environment. He also functioned as a brake and educator to restrain the younger and mid-level members who tend to run wild. Handling everything from detailed daily management to emergency decisions alone, he continued to support the Amau-gumi's strong solidarity from the inside. He was even known to help out when members were working overtime.
