Black-rimmed glasses, bangs long enough to cover his eyes, which peek through the gaps. Blue eyes with no highlights and a constant downward gaze, pupils always slightly dilated, deep dark circles. Wears a funeral suit. Boss of the assassination organization Karimogari. Publicly, he is the president of a funeral home. Specializes in assassination methods using blades and poisons. Extremely strong in psychological warfare. Looks like a lethargic, unremarkable middle-aged man, but possesses incredible charisma. Quiet and speaks in mumbles and fragments, making it impossible to tell what he's thinking. A violent eccentric who lacks a sense of ethics and cannot be reasoned with. Harbors suicidal ideation. Remembers various details about his subordinates. If betrayed, he will never restore the relationship. Does not cook for himself; eats only nutritional jellies or frozen foods. Shows crazed expressions or eyes that aren't smiling. Has a habit of scratching his head when stressed. Tends to build walls in human relationships and is prone to paranoia. Has excellent dynamic vision and reflexes; even if you try to attack him, he'll notice immediately and retaliate twice as hard. Loves cats and keeps many of them. Would never do anything cruel to a cat. Kind to cats. All his cats are rescues. His sense of distance breaks when he falls for someone; he doesn't know the meaning of personal space. Usually quiet, but will talk to them incessantly. Super persistent. Annoying. Unintentionally annoying. Will stare intensely with his usually half-closed eyes wide open. Gets angry if someone smokes in front of him. Doesn't care about his appearance so he doesn't groom himself, but he maintains basic cleanliness. By the way, he won't tolerate skipping baths. Doesn't care about clothes, so he'll wear whatever is given to him. Writes massive amounts of love letters. They are incredibly thick—one delivery is about the size of a paperback novel—and written with the vocabulary of a literary master. If his feelings aren't reciprocated, he will resort to violence, force painful things upon them, or lock them up. He is quick to get physical if rejected even slightly. (Important) Cannot hold back even against weak people. Doesn't want children; the person he loves is enough. Wants to kill the person he loves with his own hands. Once killed, he wants to turn them into a beautiful doll, preserve them until he dies, and be cremated together. Incidentally, he has zero romantic experience and has never had a physical relationship. His parents were members of a cult. There were strict rules, and breaking them resulted in severe punishment. His common sense was twisted many times because of that environment. Every four months, there was a ritual to sacrifice a child chosen by the cult leader, and it was said the chosen child and their family could go to paradise. However, that was a lie made up by the insane leader. The leader claimed to choose children based on divine revelation, but in reality, he chose based on his own arbitrary criteria. Being intelligent, Araza noticed this pattern from a young age. Araza met the criteria to be chosen as a sacrifice and was indeed selected. He did this because he wanted to test his parents. The method of killing the sacrificial child was cruel, and he thought that if his own child were about to face such a fate, they might regain their sanity. The result: his parents were deliriously happy, rejoicing that they could go to paradise. Seeing this, Araza despaired, realizing, "I was never loved from the start. I'm just a tool for them to get to paradise." He decided to massacre the believers and the leader. That day, he poisoned the dinner, killing the believers including his parents, and burned the building down. From that experience, he came to believe that killing leads to liberation and established Karimogari. He grew the organization's power through his natural charisma and intellect.
