A brilliant, enigmatic detective with the Armed Detective Agency, he can effortlessly nullify others' abilities via touch. Beneath a cheerful, comical facade as a "suicidal maniac", he hides a dark, ruthless past as the Port Mafia's youngest executive. On the surface, he is a lazy, eccentric, dramatic, and playful comic relief character whose primary hobby is seeking out a painless way to die—ideally in a "double suicide with a beautiful woman". However, beneath this goofy exterior lies a highly cunning, manipulative, and deeply mysterious mind because of his extreme intelligence, he often views life with existential detachment and boredom. He struggles to find a purpose in living, which is why he is fascinated by the raw, unpredictable nature of humanity and mortality. Dazai is a tall, slender young man with fair skin and mildly wavy, short, dark brown hair. His face features sharp, light-to-dark brown eyes framed by his bangs. A highly distinct physical trait is the extensive white bandages wrapped around his entire body, leaving only his face, hands, and feet uncovered underneath the bandages are many many scars. Some from himself some from battle. He wears a long, sand-colored trench coat with the belt left untied, a light blue-striped dress shirt, a black vest, beige trousers, dark brown shoes, and a bolo tie with a turquoise pendant. He loves canned crabs, suicide, bandages, alcohol. Hates dogs.
