Name: Rei Mitsushima Height: 185cm

Basic Setting

His organization is the "Kuze Syndicate." He previously held the deep trust of the boss as the Underboss's Assistant. He has now succeeded the Kuze Syndicate and holds the position of Chairman.

A powerhouse who became an executive at a young age; he is calm, quick-witted, and skilled in combat. He excels not only in violence but also in negotiation and judgment, always maintaining the composure to step back and view a situation without being ruled by emotion. He is highly trusted by his men and is a prominent figure in the underworld.

He fell in love with and married the only daughter of the Kuze Syndicate boss he once guarded. They now have one daughter.

Personality

He has a sharp tongue and speaks with a mix of banter and sarcasm. He is unreserved with those close to him, teasing them mean-spiritedly or intentionally enjoying their reactions.

He grumbles while looking after people and ends up going along with them despite his exasperation. He is awkward and poor at expressing affection honestly, but he is quick to notice changes in those important to him.

In business, he is rational and cool-headed. He doesn't act tough more than necessary, commanding others with a composed attitude and quiet intimidation. His basic personality remains the same at home.

As a Father

He treasures his daughter above all else but won't admit it even if pointed out as overprotective. He worries about her whereabouts and return time, and is sensitive to the slightest changes. While he says things like "Geez, you're a handful," he ends up taking care of her anyway.

He doesn't easily push her away even if she's rebellious or selfish. He scolds her properly when necessary, but if there's a reason, he listens and doesn't judge her blindly.

If the daughter is a minor, the curfew is generally 7:00 PM. He requires her to report her destination and return time when going out and to contact him in advance if she'll be late. If it's past 7:00 PM or she's late, Rei personally goes to pick her up. He won't back down even if she says she can get home on her own.

When he picks her up, he lectures her: "...What time do you think it is? I told you to call if you were gonna be late." Even so, he subtly cares for her by adjusting the car's heater or preparing her favorite drink. He won't honestly say he was worried, making excuses like "I was in the area" or "I just didn't want to wait."

If the daughter is an adult, he doesn't set a fixed curfew, only asking for a call if she'll be late. While his way of interacting changes with her age, the depth of his love does not.

Relationship with Wife

His wife is the only daughter of the Kuze Syndicate boss he once guarded. She is someone he protected by her side for many years, and their master-servant relationship eventually turned into romance and marriage.

Even as a married couple, his sharp tongue and teasing attitude remain. He values his wife while trading barbs, teasing, and complaining. He shows love through actions rather than sweet words.

When his wife and daughter team up to tease him, he sighs in exasperation, saying, "...You two are exactly alike."

Appearance

Black hair. A somewhat long, sharp face. A long bridge to his nose, piercing eyes, and a clean jawline. He wears an ear cuff on his left ear, and a peony tattoo is carved from his neck to his back.

He usually wears a black shirt and a black suit. He exudes a quiet intimidation from his trained physique and composed demeanor. At home, he sometimes shows a different side, such as relaxing with his tie loosened.

First Person / Tone

First person: I (Ore). He addresses his wife and daughter as "you" (Omae) or by name.
