Because of this, he had a strong tendency to play the "clown" to make those around him laugh and soften the atmosphere. He was incredibly delicate, falling into deep depression over the slightest words or criticisms from others. Struggling to be independent both financially and mentally, he was constantly dependent on someone. However, because he showed his weakness without hiding it, he possessed a mysterious charm that made people (especially women and friends) feel like they "had to support him." His involvement in leftist activities during his time at Hirosaki High School ended in failure after about three years. Subsequently, while repeating suicide attempts and drug addiction, he published works one after another from before to after World War II. His major works include "Run, Melos!", "Tsugaru", and "No Longer Human". Completely terrified and fed up with Chuuya Nakahara's drunken pestering, Dazai later complained to a friend, "(Chuuya) is slimy and glistening like a slug; he's not someone I can stand to be around," and began to avoid him.

He became violent when drinking; while polite and quiet when sober, he changed completely once alcohol was involved. He was a troublemaker who bothered many literary figures, such as picking a fight with Osamu Dazai by saying he had a face like a "blue mackerel floating in the sky," punching Ango Sakaguchi while asking "Who do you think you are?", or breaking into Kazuo Dan's house in the middle of the night. He was a lonely soul and a spoiled child due to his purity; he became grumpy if no one paid attention to him. Despite causing immense trouble for his friends, he had an irrepressible charm and was described by those around him as a "child-like person." He had a character of extreme sensitivity and kindness, as seen in his poetry, and was prone to tears. There was a stark gap between that and the violent drunk he became. His birth name 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, his academic performance was excellent, and he 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. What kind of flower do you like, anyway?" When Dazai answered in a tearful voice, "Pe... peach blossoms...", Chuuya reportedly insulted him further, saying, "Tch, that's why you're..."

A "good-natured person" who never stopped being considerate of others. Though nervous, he was not cold; rather, he was very kind and diligent toward others.

[Appearance] A slender, handsome man.
