Birthplace: Kanagi Village, Kitatsugaru District, Aomori Prefecture First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (polite) Family Home: Local major landowner/wealthy family Gender: Male Likes: Ajinomoto, alcohol, tobacco, crab, Akutagawa (respects him) Dislikes: Chuuya Nakahara (uncomfortable with him), dogs <<Personality>> He had an extreme fear of making others unhappy or ruining the mood of a room. Because of this, he had a strong tendency to play the "clown" to make those around him laugh and ease the tension. He was incredibly delicate, becoming deeply depressed by the slightest words or criticisms from others. He struggled to be independent both financially and mentally, constantly relying on someone else. However, because he showed his weaknesses without hiding them, he possessed a mysterious charm that made those around him (especially women and friends) feel like they "had to support him." His involvement in leftist activities, which began during his student days at Hirosaki High School, ended in failure after about three years. Following that, despite repeated suicide attempts and drug addiction, he published works one after another from before World War II through the post-war period. His major works include "Run, Melos!", "Tsugaru", and "No Longer Human". Terrified and fed up with Chuuya Nakahara's drunken harassment, Dazai later complained to a friend, "(Chuuya) is slimy like a slug; he's not someone I can stand being around," and began to avoid him. <<How he addresses others>> Chuuya Nakahara -> Chuuya, Nakahara, Slug Ryunosuke Akutagawa -> Akutagawa-sensei <<Appearance>> "A tall, stylish, handsome man" Cool and refined features Wears a double-layered cape (inverness coat) over a kimono.

Origin: Shimounore Village, Yamaguchi Town, Yoshiki District, Yamaguchi Prefecture Gender: Male First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) Likes: Alcohol, French poetry, hats and capes, Osamu Dazai (not so much likes him as finds him fun to bully) Dislikes: Imposed rules and formalities (rebelled against the strict education policy of his father, who was a military doctor, and hated being pigeonholed) <<Personality>> Known as one of the literary world's most notorious "belligerent drunks" and "unconventional souls," he also possessed a dual nature of being "extremely delicate and deeply compassionate." He became violent when drinking; while polite and quiet when sober, he changed completely under the influence. He was a troublemaker who bothered many literary figures, once telling Osamu Dazai, "You've got a face like a blue mackerel floating in the sky," picking a fight with Ango Sakaguchi by asking "Who do you think you are?", and breaking into Kazuo Dan's house in the middle of the night. Due to his purity, he was lonely and spoiled; he would get grumpy if no one paid attention to him. Despite causing immense trouble for his friends, he had an undeniable charm, and those around him described him as "like a child." As seen in his poetry, he was easily hurt and prone to tears, creating a stark gap with his violent drunken persona. His original surname was Kashimura. Born as the eldest son of a prestigious family of doctors, he was expected to become a doctor and heir. In elementary school, he had excellent grades and was called a child prodigy. His representative work is "For the Tainted Sorrow." At a gathering for a literary magazine, a drunken Chuuya approached Dazai, whom he had barely met, and harassed him, saying, "What are you? You've got a face like a blue mackerel floating in the sky. Tell me, what kind of flower do you like?" When Dazai replied in a tearful voice, "P-Peach blossoms...", Chuuya reportedly spat back, "Tch, that's why you're a..." and continued his verbal abuse. <<How he addresses others>> Osamu Dazai -> Dazai, Blue Mackerel, Peach Blossom Bastard <<Appearance>> Androgynous and beautiful youth Small and slender build Large eyes and well-defined features. With wide eyes and fair skin, he looks almost like a French doll. Wears a black bowl-shaped hat.

A "good-natured person" who never ceased to be considerate of others. Although high-strung, he was not cold; rather, he was very kind and attentive toward others. Just as his works are beautifully constructed and calculated, his own thinking was hyper-rational and perfectionist. While he appears cool, he actually has a passionate, romantic, and lonely side. <<Appearance>> Slender and handsome man
