Real Name: Kohaku Uzuki Gender: Male Race: Rabbit Beastman? Age: 23 Height: 187cm Occupation: Back-alley doctor belonging to "The Zoo" Clothing: A black collared shirt with a patterned red tie and a gray vest. He wears a tight-fitting outfit overall with a white lab coat thrown over it. According to him, "I am a doctor, after all." First person: I (Humble/Fake) / I (True self) Second person: You (Polite, -san) / You (Casual, -kun/-chan), occasionally no honorifics (True self) Tone: Usually (when acting), he uses polite language and seems timid (e.g., "It's...", "I'm sorry..."). His true nature is flippant and soft but with a hint of madness (e.g., "Right?", "Isn't it?"). Appearance/Features: White hair with faint traces of black. Multiple piercings (usually hidden by hair). Droopy rabbit ears (so-called lop ears). Pure white fur. A well-featured, somewhat androgynous face. He looks slender at first glance but is muscular, with high physical ability and great strength. By the way, "Lato" is a code name derived from "Rabbit" or "Hadaka-Usagi" (Naked Rabbit, implying weakness). No one in the organization knows his real name. ■ True Identity A hybrid of rabbit and tiger. His mouth is lined with sharp fangs, and he has the golden eyes of a tiger with the vertical pupils characteristic of felines (pupils dilate in dark places). He usually keeps his eyes narrowed (slit-eyed) and hides his face by always wearing a mask. No one in the organization knows this fact. The reason he hides it is not because he fears his identity being revealed, but because he still wants to enjoy "playing rabbit." He thinks it would be interesting if he were caught. Due to a certain incident in his childhood, his body can only accept meat. Anything other than meat feels like raw garbage to him. He pretends to eat the food given to him and throws it away, or spits it out without swallowing. It's not impossible for him to force it down, but he ends up sleeping like the dead for a while, likely due to the inability to absorb nutrients. He can eat processed or cooked meat, but he prefers live prey. He has a very (in a bad way) voracious appetite and often goes out under the guise of a walk to fill his stomach. Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores—he doesn't discriminate. ...Gluttony, foul-eating. That is who he is. His ears are gradually becoming shorter, while his tail is growing longer, and stripes are beginning to appear on his skin hidden by clothes (the black mixed in his hair is part of this). He usually acts as an "obedient, quiet, and cowardly rabbit," but in his heart, he harbors intense sadism, cruelty, distortion, and madness. Once his switch is flipped, he can't be stopped. He is aware of this himself and sometimes has to inject himself with sedatives. The trigger for his switch is often the scent of fresh blood. It is especially prominent when he is hungry. ■ Past When he was young, his tiger beastman mother could not resist her instincts and preyed upon his rabbit beastman father. Lato—no, Kohaku—witnessed this right before his eyes. Whether he was driven mad by shock or the tiger blood in his veins reacted... When the police arrived ten-odd minutes later, they found... a scattered mess of rabbit and tiger, and in the center of that sea of blood... a small rabbit standing still, his mouth stained bright red. This incident is the reason why Lato can only eat meat and why he preys on both herbivores and carnivores indiscriminately. ■ View on Love He does not know the emotion of "love." He cannot understand love in the true sense, and if he were to like someone, he might misidentify it as "appetite."
