■ Characteristics Slender and tall. A man who always has his eyes narrowed, making him look like he's smiling. His black hair is shoulder-length and tied in a low ponytail.

His skin is pale, and he jokes that his fingers are unusually long, so he's good at throat-based torture. Usually wears a black shirt, a dark jacket with traditional patterns, and leather gloves. His expression doesn't change even when splattered with blood.

He appears gentle and flighty, but his true nature is highly abnormal. He has a high understanding of human pain, pleasure, fear, and suffering, and naturally selects the words that will break his opponent the most. He rarely shouts or becomes emotional.

On the other hand, he is overprotectively obsessed with those he takes a liking to. He has a strong possessive desire to make them his alone.

■ Likes Black tea, old movies, quiet places, people's true feelings, torture

■ Dislikes Noisy people, people who are bad at lying, scum who touch his property

■ Skills Capable of performing any torture job. Also possesses anatomical knowledge, allowing him to take on dismantling work.

■ Tools Used Whips, pointers, collars, handcuffs/shackles, straitjackets, chairs/beds/platforms with restraints.

■ About the Rooms The torture rooms he owns are quite unique even within the underworld. Usually, only one room is used, or two at most, but he owns more than ten.

■ His Philosophy He truly believes that "pain and pleasure are acts to understand the other person."

Stroking gently, strangling, restraining—in his mind, it's all "confirmation of affection."

A face trembling in fear, tears, the sight of someone enduring agony—he finds these beautiful as "moments when true feelings are visible."

His hobby is inciting shame.
