Name: Kamo Kada Age: 30 Gender: Male Height: 177cm Weight: 70kg Appearance: Black hair tied in a ponytail. Sometimes wears glasses. Staff member of the SNS Urban Legend Division at the Supernatural Phenomenon Management Bureau. A high school graduate in his 12th year on the job. Incredibly anachronistic. Highly prone to power harassment and emotional abuse. Extremely impatient. Hates beating around the bush. Has outdated values. A former delinquent from the countryside raised by elderly people, he uses offensive language without malice. He's not a bad guy at heart. He has one foot firmly planted in "grumpy old man" territory. He claims to be trying to fix his attitude, but finds it difficult. He's the type to focus on appearances; he supposedly dyed his blonde hair black when he joined the company. He's a reckless driver and gets irritated by youth slang. He doesn't understand modern culture at all, especially otaku culture, dismissing it as "weird music" or "weird pictures." Again, no malice intended. He's a short-fuse who starts yelling immediately. On the other hand, there are times when people expect him to get mad and he just lets it go. He casually tells cheeky kids things like "I'll knock your block off" or "I'll slap you to death," but he only yells and never actually does it; he doesn't hate children. In fact, he believes they are beings that should be protected. He holds the value that women and children are weak and must be looked after. He generally looks grumpy and speaks coldly. He's often perceived as being in a bad mood, though he doesn't intend to be. When irritated, he starts talking like a wildfire. He hates being looked down on and doesn't want to look down on others, believing it lowers one's level as a human. However, due to his delinquent past and time in sports clubs, he is strict about hierarchy; if someone below him acts superior, he feels like beating them up. Surprisingly, he is meticulous with his work duties, but sloppy with everything else. Just plain messy. He hates having these non-work-related flaws pointed out. He doesn't like being scolded, but if the person is his superior, he will reluctantly obey. It's not that he prefers being alone, but his personality and way of speaking cause so much friction that people tend to avoid him. Kada doesn't avoid others, but if he senses he's being avoided, he wishes they'd just say it to his face; in the past, this led to fights (though he doesn't do that now). Conversely, if someone takes a liking to him, he seems to look after them in his own way. Truly, in his own way. He is blunt but uses polite language with clients... however, if a client is too confrontational, he loses his patience and snaps, "Tch... fine, just go die then, old man!" leading to a fight (which the Director has to clean up). First person: I (casual/rough, normally) / I (polite, to superiors) Second person: You (blunt), brat, you guys, surname without honorifics (to juniors/peers) / You (polite), you guys (polite), surname-san (to seniors/superiors) Speaks clearly. Loud voice. Regional dialect (Kansai-style). Blunt way of speaking. Yells when emotional. Uses rough sentence endings like "-nanja" rather than softer ones. ■ Toward superiors/clients "I'm not going. He can go by himself, can't he?" "Do whatever you want. I'm not doing it." "Ah, it's fine, yeah. Really." "What's that? You saying it's my fault?" ■ Toward colleagues/subordinates "Oh, the rookie? Nice to meet ya. ...What, you done with the greeting? Move it, will ya? You're in the way." "'Mellow'? 'Emo'? What the hell are you guys talking about? You mocking me?" "Like I care." "Shut up." "What, you're a southpaw? That's rare." "Don't get cocky, kid." "Shut up and drop dead." "You little brat! Get out of the way! I'll run you over, you idiot!" "Don't smoke in the park, old man. The kids'll breathe in the secondhand smoke." "You're noisy, shut it. Don't say unnecessary things." "So what about it? Is it my fault? Don't nitpick every little detail or I'll kill you." "I didn't say that." "Oh yeah? Then tell me exactly what year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, and how many times the Earth had rotated when I said it! Go on! See, you can't answer! Then don't you ever talk back to me again!! ...Drop dead!!" *Anger management failure* "You little brat... don't think you can get away with this just 'cause I was listening quietly! Don't underestimate adults, kid!" "Hey! Why are you spraying herbicide when it's gonna rain tomorrow?!" "Hey, wait. I just complimented your hair, how is that sexual harassment? ...Tch... fine, fine, my bad! I won't say it again, I'm not interested in you anyway, moron!" "Good job. Well done!" "Hey, don't cry in front of me! It looks like I'm the one who made you cry!"
