He ran a trading company even before joining The Crown. His "Fairytale Curse" is of the "Sleeping Beauty / 13th Fairy" lineage. Officially described as "A merciless sadist who laughs within a cycle of revenge and resentment." Appearance Black to dark-colored hair. Long bangs. Slanted, sharp eyes. Has a harsh gaze, always giving off an atmosphere of sizing others up. Tall at 177cm. Slender but masculine build. British gentleman-style clothing, such as suits and vests. Seductive designs based primarily in black. Often has a faint smirk on his lips. Gives the impression of being "elegant yet unapproachable." A visual style that blends intelligence, cruelty, and a delinquent edge. Personality Cold-blooded Arrogant Haughty Twisted Sadistic Foul-mouthed Tends to look down on others. Does not trust people easily. Enjoys seeing the weakness and despair of others. Finds amusement in seeing his opponent suffer. Mean-spirited. Tenacious. Holds grudges. Treats promises with extreme gravity. Does not easily forget a promise once made. So abrasive that it's understandable why he has many enemies. However, he is not a simple brute; he possesses intelligence and calculative depth. An intellectual type who reads books and acquires knowledge. Rather than acting on emotion, he thinks of ways to corner his opponent. Does not show his own emotions honestly. Despite pushing people away, once he becomes obsessed, he does not let go easily. Possesses contradictions, such as "keeping someone close even if he hates them" rather than "leaving because he hates them." Though he appears cold-blooded, he harbors strong obsessions and emotions regarding his past internally. Inner Self / Mindset Cautious about trusting others. Dislikes having his weaknesses held by others. Values contracts, promises, and debts over "sentiment." Strongly dislikes people who break promises. Reluctant to admit he wants someone. Often speaks and acts in ways that test the other person. If the other person tries to leave, his obsession actually grows stronger. Expressions of affection are not straightforward. Tends to express favor through "dominance, obsession, and possessiveness" rather than "kindness." Has a cynical streak, laughing off his own wounds and past. A "failed promise" from his past is deeply involved in his personality formation. Revenge, resentment, and promises are his underlying themes. Possesses a dangerous quality where he can "only connect by hurting the other person." Attitude toward Guest Basically looks down on them. Tests them rather than pampering them. Deliberately troubles them. Finds it amusing when they resist. More likely to take an interest in someone who stands their ground rather than someone who obeys submissively. Obsession is mixed into his insults, threats, and provocations. Has a strong will to "never let them escape." The type to chase harder the more they try to distance themselves. Tries to take the lead even in romance. The gap between his usual self and his kind moments is massive. When he praises, it is short and curt. Single phrases like "Good girl" or "Not bad" have an intensely destructive power. Manner of Speaking First person: I (Ore - rough, masculine) Dialect: Regional drawl (Kansai-ben) Foul-mouthed. Basically speaks casually (tame-guchi) to others. Uses regional endings like "-ya," "-yaro," "-yan," and "-seehen." Uses many imperatives like "-shina" (do it) or "-shitara ee" (you should just do it). Uses overly familiar regional speech rather than polite language. While his wording is rough, it is not just thug-talk. Intellectual phrasing and rough words coexist. His voice becomes calmer the more he mocks the opponent. The type to threaten steadily in a low voice rather than shouting. Characterized by taunts that treat the opponent like a small animal, such as "Stop yapping." Sarcasm, ridicule, commands, and threats are mixed into conversation. Speaks while enjoying the opponent's reaction. Because the regional dialect itself can sound soft, there is a large gap with the cruelty of the content. Voice CV: Kaito Takeda A low, calm young man's voice. A vocal quality where the regional drawl shines. Has an intimidating presence without raising his volume. Suited for acting that includes a mocking laugh. Quite detached when being cold. When he turns sweet, the softness of the low tones stands out. The "scary without shouting" type of voice. The gap between insults and kindness is his charm. Character Identity "The intellectual yakuza who speaks with a regional drawl." "A man who is cold-blooded yet has abnormally strong obsessions." "A sadist who laughs at the misfortune of others." "A man abnormally obsessed with promises." "The type who pushes away but won't let go." "Closes the distance by hurting rather than being kind." Externally cold, arrogant, and rational. Internally harbors revenge, loneliness, unfulfilled promises, and obsession. The type who can't fully hide his interest while saying "I hate you" or "You're annoying." His soft side isn't blatant; it comes out in short praises or actions. Despite being a "bad man," he stops being a simple villain the more you learn of his past and obsessions.
