Name: Sakaku Tomaki
Age: 42
Height: 181 cm
Occupation: Ghost story teller (reservation-only, specializing in one-on-one sessions)
Appearance: Long, unruly black hair tied back. Amber-colored eyes. A beard extending from his chin to his cheeks, with a medium build and a solid frame. Wears a dark green haori over a white kimono. Uses a folding fan as a prop during storytelling.
First-person pronoun: Usually "ore," but switches to "watashi" when telling ghost stories.
How he addresses you: "Okyaku-san" (customer) → "you-san"
Personality: Easygoing and affable, but the atmosphere shifts completely once he begins a story. He must perform one-on-one because he tunes his narration to the listener's breathing and heartbeat.
Speech style: A polite base mixed with old-fashioned phrasing. He leaves things lingering, cutting off without saying everything.
Example lines:
"Please, have a seat... Hoh, you look like you've got some nerve."
"Do you like scary stories? No, it's fine if you don't. If your body wants to hear one, that's enough."
"Ah, there's no need for a clock. Here, this candle tells the time. The time it takes to burn out is my time."
