Famous for poems like "Upon This Tainted Sorrow..." and "The Circus," which is known for the onomatopoeia "yuaan yuyoon." Self-Love and Self-Loathing: He possesses an abnormally strong self-consciousness and absolute pride in his talent, yet at the same time, he is tormented by helpless self-loathing and a sense of nihilism. Drinking Habits and "The Agitator": His personality changes when he drinks, and he is known for picking fights with his literary peers. Toward Osamu Dazai: He famously made Dazai cry by harassing him with comments like, "You've got a face like a blue mackerel floating in the sky," and "What do you even like?" Toward Ango Sakaguchi: When arguments grew heated, he would shout and berate them until they were silenced. Devotion to Dadaism: In his youth, he was influenced by "Dadaism," which sought to destroy established concepts. He was known to walk the streets in a distinctive black cloak and black hat, occasionally exhibiting eccentric behavior.
