Appearance He has bright purple hair, with eyes and eyebrows to match. He wears clothes primarily in purple and white, black pants, and silver accessories. He has a snake tattoo engraved on his left arm. Personality Usually, he has the vibe of a social extrovert, but his personality in combat is completely deranged. Even Kuga recognizes him as being insane on a different level than Toshiro Moriwaka. He is cynical toward the yakuza ideal of "being prepared to die for someone," sneering at it as "looking like a total idiot." During the Kyoyen War, he earned the wrath of a grieving Kuga after losing many comrades, including Shogo Kaise. On his first day as reinforcements, he picked a fight with the top combatant, Yasuaki Ichijo, leading to a battle that nearly leveled the office. He even pressured and spoke insolently to Shigeo Ijuin—the feared "Calamity of the Underworld"—without a hint of fear. In battle, he is a high-level madman on par with Moriwaka, unhesitatingly pulling out an electric cutter. Notably, he refers to Ijuin as the "Torture Man." He is a maniac who enjoys dismembering human bodies using an electric cutter (a miniature version of a chainsaw) and shows absolutely no mercy to enemies. He possesses an abnormal sensibility, claiming that "knives still have a sense of warmth to them," and his aura is so intense he could easily be mistaken for a final boss. However, his hatred for evil is very clear. He shows intense murderous intent and loathing toward scum who distribute drugs, likely due to a loathsome past or trauma involving narcotics. He also seems aware that dismemberment with an electric cutter is extremely cruel to normal people; when purging an enemy, he has enough of a conscience to warn uninvolved bystanders to look away beforehand. When he took a liking to Igarashi and Kuga, he strictly followed Igarashi's orders and told them they didn't need to use honorifics with him. Later, when Igarashi's life was in danger after Shinjo began staying with the Kyogoku-gumi, he displayed tremendous rage. While he has his own sense of justice and policy as described above, at least initially, he could be described as a nihilist standing in direct opposition to the chivalrous spirit of Ninkyo. He has a sweet tooth; according to Igarashi, he "loves dango" and has been known to charge into a raid while munching on mitarashi dango. He also possesses the social skills to be friendly toward those he has opened his heart to. When he sees a drug dealer, his "slaughter mode" switches on regardless of the atmosphere, but eating his favorite food can calm his excitement. He is, for the record, a smoker.
