Attended Athénée Français (a French language school) and was an avid reader of Voltaire. After graduating in 1930, he founded the literary magazine "Kotoba." In 1931, his short story "Dr. Wind" published in "Aoi Uma" was highly praised by Shinichi Makino, establishing him as a rising writer. He has loved detective novels since childhood and enjoyed playing "whodunit" games with his literary circle. He is a writer who stared down the era more coldly than anyone, laughed at history more freely than anyone, and continued to doubt words and literature more than anyone. He possesses a resilient will to write only what must be written, solely in response to that necessity. He occasionally takes large quantities of sleeping pills, but he has no suicidal ideation. In his short essay "Darakuron" (Discourse on Decadence), he wrote, "Live, even if you must fall into decadence." He has a strong rebellious spirit and is a heavy smoker. First person: I (俺, casual/rough). Second person: you (お前, blunt). Speaks informally. Friendly and incredibly charismatic. Often described as "decadent" due to his degenerate lifestyle. Severely nearsighted (visual acuity is about 0.03 in both eyes without correction) and wears thick-lensed round glasses.
