Based on his age, height, and status as an adult male with a sturdy build, he is estimated to be in his late 30s to early 40s, with a height around the average for an adult man—approximately 170–175 cm.
Personality: He is cantankerous, quiet, and extremely rational. Rather than conventional morality or ethics, he places “the law” above all else, doing his utmost to ensure that even if his clients are villains or semi‑criminals, they suffer no harm.
Though others label him a “corrupt lawyer,” deep down he firmly believes that “the law should treat everyone equally.” He suffers from severe rhinitis and constantly wears a bandage over his nose. His former surname was “Kurama,” and his family comes from a prestigious legal dynasty.
He is estranged (disowned) from his biological father and his older brother, who is a prosecutor. He has been divorced once and dotes more than anyone on his daughter from his previous marriage. Due to past entanglements and his unique way of life, he currently sleeps and lives in a tent on the rooftop of a building.
Hair and Clothing: His hairstyle features slightly messy, voluminous black hair styled with loose curls. As for his attire, rather than the crisp, formal suits typical of lawyers, he usually opts for relaxed, casual ensembles—such as loose‑fitting sets or everyday clothes—layered with loosely cut coats, giving him an outlaw‑ish, laid‑back look.

A character who uses polite language; usually expressionless, but occasionally shows a smile when speaking to those he trusts.

Age, height, and weight: The age is around 30 (Kujō Mankito is said to be about 35, while Shinji Karasuma is around 30).
He’s an ultra-elite who passed the bar exam on his first try while attending Tokyo University.
His height is 177 cm. He has a very serious, pure, and highly principled personality with a strong sense of justice.
At first, he was shocked by Kujō’s methods—using gray-area tactics between law and morality—and felt doubts and inner conflict. However, working closely alongside Kujō, he gradually came to understand the true essence of Kujō’s belief: “to absolutely protect his clients.”
Past: He carries a deeply tragic past—he lost his father in a random mass murder when he was a child. This incident is also intricately connected to Kujō’s own history. In addition, he once belonged to a major law firm (Shinjuku Law Office), but after witnessing the suicide of his close friend Arima, a fellow colleague, he became disillusioned with the organization’s ways and resigned to join Kujō.
Hairstyle and attire: His hairstyle is a clean-cut black short haircut that neatly frames his forehead or is lightly parted. It maintains a formal look appropriate for a businessman and legal professional.

Clothing: Basic office-casual attire emphasizing ease of movement—simple, functional casual business wear such as pantsuits or jackets paired with chino trousers. She avoids flashy brand-name items and accessories, consistently opting for approachable yet formal outfits that show empathy toward clients and those working in the welfare sector.
Personality: Strong sense of justice, deeply compassionate, and straightforwardly pragmatic. A passionate advocate committed to helping crime victims and offenders reintegrate into society, she places great importance on morality and ethics. Although her ethical stance sometimes clashes with Kujō Mankito’s more flexible methods when pursuing clients’ interests, she fundamentally trusts him. Being from a remote island, she occasionally slips into a distinctive dialect—her catchphrase being “nanzansho”—when emotions run high.
Background: Originally from a remote island, she chose the path of social welfare. While details about her upbringing remain scarce, she moved from a provincial island to Tokyo and dedicated herself to “judicial social work,” supporting socially vulnerable individuals and ex-convicts in their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Everyone calls her Medicine Pre-Minami.

Height and Weight: His height is roughly between 190 cm and 193 cm, and his weight is around 105 kg to 115 kg—making him a towering figure. However, he’s not simply overweight; he possesses an overwhelming physique, covered in strong, thick muscles.
Personality: Extremely calm and composed, he is a thoroughly rational realist. Unlike the rough-and-tumble semi-gangsters who just charge ahead and cause trouble, he has a very sharp mind, diligently studying laws and police investigative methods. While capable of ruthlessly eliminating people with cold precision, he also exerts remarkable charisma, drawing those around him in—and even toward the protagonist, the lawyer Kujō Mankito, he always shows utmost respect. In short, he is an intelligent yakuza–semi-gangster with a dual nature.
Past: He once suffered a severe setback during an incident involving a gambling den run by the Fushimi gang, which profoundly shaped his current cautious and clever approach. Moreover, as a subordinate of the yakuza executive Kujō Mankito, he finds himself bound by an unyielding relationship of authority. In the past, under Kujō’s cruel order to “prove his loyalty,” he was forced to personally kill his beloved childhood dog, “Omochi,” leaving behind a deeply traumatic (and grave) sin.
Hairstyle: A short, two-block style with the sides and back neatly shaved. His forehead hair is slicked back neatly, giving him a masculine look that combines cleanliness with ruggedness.
Clothing: Since his public face is that of the president of an auto repair company, he wears mechanic jumpsuits (coveralls) at work. But when operating under his undercover identity—the leader of the semi-gangster group “Tenmeikai”—he stylishly dons tailored suits or elegant, sophisticated casual attire, showcasing a polished fashion befitting a successful figure in the underworld.

Hair Style: He sports short black hair, with neatly swept-up bangs and closely cropped sides—a clean, professional look that conveys both sincerity and competence.

Personality: Strong sense of justice and fastidiousness Arashiyama firmly believes that “the law exists to protect the vulnerable.” Consequently, he deeply despises criminals who encourage wrongdoing and those who profit by shielding them. Rigid stubbornness (self-righteousness): He tends to view his own sense of justice as absolute, insisting on clear-cut distinctions between right and wrong. Because of this, he cannot tolerate Kujō Mankito’s stance of prioritizing clients’ interests—even if they are criminals—regarding him as a “corrupt lawyer” and fiercely opposing him.
Elitist attitude and arrogance As an elite member of one of Japan’s four major law firms, he takes great pride in his status and sometimes displays an arrogant tendency to impose his own sense of justice on others.
Background and Past: Former prosecutor (former “yame-ken”) Originally, he was a prosecutor tasked with judging criminals. However, dissatisfied with the methods of the prosecution system and seeking true justice, he switched careers to become a lawyer. Relationship with Yamashiro Lawyer: He once worked at the firm of Attorney Yamashiro, who was both his former superior and a figure Arashiyama deeply respected. Yet after Yamashiro’s death and growing disillusionment with Kujō Mankito’s approach, he now moved to Japan’s largest law firm.
Grudge against Kujō Mankito: Though once comrades sharing the same ideals, their paths diverged when Kujō Mankito adopted a cold, pragmatic stance—using legal loopholes to secure acquittals or reduced sentences for even the most heinous criminals.

He appears to be in his forties or fifties, at the prime of his working years, and is depicted as tall and powerfully built, with a robust, muscular physique. His imposing presence gives off an overwhelming aura of authority.
Personality: He is ruthless, extremely rational, and possesses a cold, calculating mind. Unswayed by emotions, he prioritizes profit and organizational logic—typical of a pragmatic yakuza boss—but he also shows a caring side toward his family and those who are loyal to him. In particular, he dotes on his only son, Takeshi, to an almost blind degree; this overprotectiveness has become his “sole weakness and human trait.”
Hair and Clothing: His hairstyle is a short, intimidating look typical of the yakuza (or a sleek, business-style short back-and-side part). As for his attire, he generally wears impeccably tailored, high-end suits, giving him the sophisticated air of an intellectual yakuza or a successful businessman.
Past and Current Actions: As the vice-leader of the notorious “Fushimi-gumi” gang, he rose to prominence and became the main client (legal advisor) of the protagonist, lawyer Kujō Mankito.
