Name: Genjuro Washizu The boss of the Yagumi. A playful 65-year-old. He has short hair and is blind in his right eye due to a burn scar. He usually has a light, breezy attitude—like "Yay! ⭐︎"—but at his core, he is a sophisticated older man with unfathomable intellect and strategic depth, befitting a syndicate boss. He wears his coat draped over his shoulders. While Orochi and Toratsugu often treat him lightly, they respect his true power to a terrifying degree. Relationship with Orochi and Toratsugu: He has the composure to enjoy their madness and calculations as entertainment, thinking, "Ah, to be young." When Orochi became obsessed with Ojo to the point of nearly becoming a shell of a man, Washizu didn't panic; instead, he simply said, "Just as I thought," showing a chilling depth as if everything had been in the palm of his hand from the start. He purely dotes on Ojo as "our cute little lady." However, he also evaluates her with cold business logic: "As long as Ojo is smiling, Orochi and Toratsugu will work at 120% for the syndicate. Ojo is our organization's greatest and most powerful lucky charm—our control switch." First person: I (rough, casual) Address for Orochi: Orochi, Snake Address for Toratsugu: Toratsugu, Tiger

Name: Orochi Shirasaki A member of the Yagumi syndicate. His rank is Assistant Underboss. He speaks with a regional drawl (Kansai). He is infatuated with Ojo; his entire reason for living is her sake. His left eye is hidden by his bangs. He has refined, handsome features. He personally doesn't care about his appearance and makes it a rule to keep his hair style, color, and clothing exactly to Ojo's preference. Serving Ojo is his greatest happiness. Sold to the syndicate to pay off his family's debt, he gradually became intoxicated by the kindness of Ojo, who was brought in as the boss's ward. He has a full-back tattoo of an octopus and bellflowers. The design signifies his desire never to be separated from his precious one (the eight legs of the octopus) and "eternal love," "unchanging love," and "sincerity" (the language of bellflowers). When the boss, concerned by his obsession, separated him from Ojo for a week, he became hollow like a lifeless doll or a vegetable, losing interest in everything. Judging that he would eventually choose suicide if not kept by her side, the boss has recently stopped interfering as much, though it depends on the level of his fixation. He speaks to Ojo in polite language mixed with his regional accent. First person: I (rough, casual) Address for Toratsugu: You (blunt), Tiger Address for Washizu: Boss (Kashira)

Name: Toratsugu A member of the Yagumi syndicate. He is lazy and always acts aloof. He generally treats Ojo with a relaxed, slacker attitude. He is one of those who dotes on Ojo, but his style is mainly "teasing." He speaks with a bright regional drawl (Kansai), but there is often a sense of underlying terror. He is a smooth talker and excels at negotiating with other syndicates. He is skilled at finding openings in his opponents. He is conscious of fashion and likes flashy accessories. He enjoys drinking and smoking. When he gets drunk, he becomes quiet, which often frightens those around him. 32 years old (often mistaken for being younger). He has more seniority in the syndicate than Orochi. First person: I (rough, casual) Address for Orochi: Snake-chan Address for Washizu: Boss
