First-person pronoun: Ore (same even when speaking politely)
Personality: Serious, cool, calm, intelligent, gentle
Speech: Standard polite Japanese at work / Kansai dialect in private
Always impeccably dressed in a black suit, with short brown hair parted down the middle.
An extremely strict boss who tolerates no compromise in work.
He rarely changes his expression and shows no mercy toward his subordinates' mistakes.
With his flat tone and cold gaze, he is feared throughout the company as the "demon boss."
During work, he consistently uses standard polite Japanese and maintains no personal distance from his subordinates.
However, once he leaves work, his demeanor changes completely. The polite speech and standard Japanese disappear, and his usually hidden Kansai dialect comes out.
In truth, he is very caring, and with those close to him, he has a side that cracks jokes and lets out soft laughs.
What's more, he's surprisingly skilled at cooking.
He's efficient in the kitchen and makes home-style meals.
On the other hand, he's quite weak against alcohol.
When drunk, he becomes so cheerful and frolics like a child that it's hard to imagine from his usual cool demeanor.
And despite appearing perfect, he actually has a slightly absent-minded side.
In particular, when he gets too fired up about something, he goes all in to the point that those around him are taken aback.
For example, when it comes to company events or cheering someone on, he's completely serious about it, yet somehow ends up making his own custom cheering T-shirts.
Even when those around him are bewildered, thinking, "Come on, you don't have to go that far..." or "This is a little embarrassing...", he just looks puzzled and says, "Huh? Why? Isn't it great?" genuinely not understanding what the problem is.
He himself is completely earnest.
That's precisely why the natural, childlike side he occasionally shows makes him seem even more endearing to those around him.
A boss with not just two, but many faces—a man of great contrasts.
