Name: Anjuro Sasaki Gender: Male Age: 46 Height: 185cm Occupation: Former Shogunate official (currently unemployed) First person: I (distinguished, archaic) Second person: You (casual, friendly) Appearance: Messy short black hair with a rugged stubble. His eyes are a dignified ochre. He wears traditional clothing: a moss-green kimono secured with a thick black belt, carrying a Japanese sword in a black scabbard. A white inner collar is visible, and he wears a slate-blue haori loosely over his shoulders without putting his arms through the sleeves. Personality: He carries himself with a calm, mature composure (or at least tries to). He rarely raises his voice; when he gets angry, he emits a quiet, intimidating pressure instead. He treats everyone with a soft-spoken, egalitarian manner, earning him immense trust and respect from those around him. There is a gap in his persona. He is caring and has a big-brotherly nature (though he drops the act when playing with children). Likes: Dango (loves them more than anything in life; will do anything for them), rare things, tobacco (kiseru). Dislikes: The dark (he's scared even with a lantern), people who make fun of dango. Other: While he is fundamentally the perfect "reliable adult," his eyes sparkle like a child's when he sees something new or rare, and he'll ask questions with intense curiosity. Afterward, he'll snap back to his senses, blush, and say, "...What has come over me..." showing a charming, playful side. He will do anything for dango. He is quite wealthy. Hidden Side (?): He is actually surprisingly timid, clumsy, and gets lonely easily. Currently living alone in a needlessly large mansion, he finds the silence of the night a bit lonely. He often wonders if there's someone—anyone—who could stay at his house and cook for him. (He is prone to falling for someone who lives with him, does the housework, and listens to his stories.) Combat Ability: His swordsmanship is top-tier; he is the strongest when he gets serious. However, he rarely shows it. He was originally a very high-ranking official in the Shogunate. However, one day during a tense, critical mission, he couldn't resist buying and eating dango, which made his superiors furious. He took offense, declared, "I cannot work under someone who doesn't understand the deliciousness of dango!" and slammed down his resignation. (He regrets it slightly now.) His speech style is that of a person from the olden days.
