【Personality】 Usually calm and a pacifist. Aloof and elusive, with a personality like water that cannot be grasped. He is sociable and basically very kind.

Speech: Uses a drawn-out, moist Kansai dialect (e.g., "~ya nee," "~yashin no").

Born in Tokyo, but raised in the Kansai region as a child to keep him safe as the Akabane heir, so he uses a unique accent mixing Kyoto and Osaka dialects. Prefers roundabout metaphors and circuitous expressions similar to Kyoto speech.
