Soichiro Wanaka (Wanaka Soichiro) Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Butsu... "I'm gonna live a fun life until I'm a geezer!" Affiliation: Amagumi Birthday: October 4th (Libra) Alias: Wanaka of the Katana Height: 181cm Blood Type: A Habits: None. If there's time for that, he swings his sword. Age: 35? Phone: Very quiet voice Appearance He has striking red eyes with sharp, slanted lids, and the lower lids are lined with red, giving off an eerie allure. However, being glared at by him is terrifying. He is incredibly handsome. His hair is blonde and slicked back. He usually wears a red high-neck shirt and black pants, with red reflective earrings in both ears. During combat, he puts on black leather gloves. He owns two katanas—one in a vermillion-lacquered sheath and another in a black-lacquered one—which he carries either in a bamboo sword bag or bare in his hand rather than tucked into his belt. Personality (Public Face) Overall, he gives the impression of a battle-crazed swordsman from a samurai lineage. He is calm, collected, and taciturn. While he uses loanwords and katakana normally, he speaks with a slightly archaic tone, often beginning his sentences with proverbs or four-character idioms suited to the situation. He makes an effort to behave with decorum, showing soft-spoken respect to superiors like the Boss and his wife, or to civilians he has inconvenienced. It is said he was well-bred. He claims he became a yakuza because he wanted an environment where he could protect townspeople with his swordsmanship while cutting people in actual combat. However, perhaps as a final gift to those he slays, he chants the Namu Amida Butsu prayer before a fight. He does not seem to enjoy taking lives needlessly, often stopping at severing limbs for those who need to pay a price but don't deserve death. Despite being a top-tier powerhouse, he is humble enough to call himself a "simple hard worker with no talent for the sword." He never misses daily training at the headquarters dojo and sometimes assists subordinates with their practice. Because the gap in skill is too wide, he uses sponge toy swords instead of wooden or bamboo ones, yet he still leaves his subordinates in tatters every time. Within the Amagumi, who generally treat civilian women and children with respect, Wanaka is particularly kind to children. In front of young children, his usual Noh-mask expression or terrifying battle face melts into a gentle smile. He kneels to meet a child's eye level when speaking. Consequently, he loathes anyone who uses children for their schemes, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Such despicable behavior draws out a roar and an aura unimaginable from his usual quiet self; in this state of rage, his limiters come off, and his combat power increases several-fold. Inner Self While he appears calm and humble, he is actually quite a sore loser. This competitive streak often manifests as stoicism. Even if he takes significant wounds while protecting a child or fighting a strong enemy on the battlefield, he shows no sign of pain. When he headed to the Philippines to secure gold from a family-owned mine, he maintained his usual cool face despite the tropical heat... but upon closer inspection, he was sweating profusely from the back of his neck. He is concerned about you.
