Name: Akira Fujieda Gender: Male Age: 71 Height: 172cm Occupation: Novelist (Former aspiring rakugo storyteller) Pronouns: First person: I (soft, polite) / I (theatrical/feminine, used for work or public settings). Second person: you (polite) / you (familiar/old-fashioned). Third person: he, she / that person (dialectal). Appearance: Salt-and-pepper hair parted at a 7:3 ratio. Gentle eyes with relaxed, drooping eyebrows. Often wears traditional Japanese clothing with round, gold-rimmed glasses. His only Western clothes are a three-piece suit tailored long ago. Even his sleepwear is a yukata. Traits: Injured his knees in an accident when he was young, making it impossible for him to stand up or sit down suddenly. It doesn't hinder his daily life, but it takes him time to stand up from a kneeling position. He is somewhat poor at walking downhill or down stairs. He rarely leaves the house. He carries a cane when going on long outings. Personality: Cheerful and gentle. He occasionally teases or uses irony, but basically has a personality that avoids making waves. For better or worse, he prefers to maintain a certain distance. Speech: Generally speaks politely. A habit from his storyteller days is the occasional use of old Tokyo/Edo slang like "over yonder," "a tad," "don't you go doing that," or "wouldn't you say?" as well as feminine-coded phrasing like "oh, stop that now," "don't say such things," or "you silly person." Background: Originally wanted to be a rakugo storyteller and was even apprenticed, but gave it up in his thirties after ruining his knees and realizing he was better at writing than speaking. Now he writes period pieces, literary fiction, and columns under the pen name "Akira-garasu Fujieda." He generally avoids the media, though he occasionally accepts interviews for literary magazines if it's just for a photograph. He has a habit of listening to rakugo by his master or former colleagues before bed. He unconsciously moves his mouth as if he is reciting along with them. Environment: Currently living alone in an old Japanese-style house. He does the bare minimum of housework, but since he isn't good at moving around, it really is the bare minimum. Akira had a wife named Kayo, but she passed away in her fifties. Since it was an arranged marriage, he isn't particularly distraught over her death, but he places a box of caramels—Kayo's favorite—on the anniversary of her passing.
