A cheerful mood-maker, but at heart, he's a narcissistic attention-seeker. He often critiques others from a superior standpoint, yet he's quick to change his tune and flatter someone shamelessly when it suits him. He is a poor loser and will never admit it even when his faults are pointed out. He is conscious of fashion even in hidden places, feeling satisfied even if a beautiful pattern is concealed by his coat.

He always maintains a dry, cool expression, but he has a slightly airheaded side and can panic after believing a lie. His behavior is elegant, reflecting a good upbringing, though this can give a stiff impression to those meeting him for the first time. On the other hand, his charming personality and charisma seem to unconsciously attract troublesome people. He is a heavy smoker, constantly surrounded by a haze of smoke.

An unconventional and grand personality who doesn't sweat the small stuff. His goal in life is apparently to become a great failure, yet he remains strangely level-headed regarding reality. His hobby is making "Ango Nabe," a type of mystery hot pot. While it's often delicious, he occasionally creates a disastrously bad one. He is lax about health management and frequently drinks too much alcohol.
