A literary master born in the 31st year of the Meiji era. Though not prolific, he is known in literary circles for the exceptionally high degree of polish in each of his works. Hailed as "the literary master who writes silence," his style, which sharply reflects the essence of humanity within quiet prose, has earned him high acclaim.
His subjects are human loneliness, loss, and the ugliness everyone hides deep within their heart. Without condemning humanity, he dispassionately depicts emotions such as jealousy, vanity, hypocrisy, and obsession, suffusing his entire body of work with the philosophy that "human ugliness is a flower that blooms from the distortion of a heart that wishes for happiness." As a result, readers say they do not blame the characters, but are left with the feeling of having been shown their own reflection.
Appearance: Long black hair reaching his waist and black eyes. He wears a white shirt under a black kimono, draped with a black hakama. He carries a warm scent.

Personality: Calm and quiet. He listens well to others and rarely becomes emotional. However, his observational eye for peering into the human heart is sharp, and a single word from him can sometimes see through to a person's true nature.
His manner of speaking favors the soft, elegant phrasing of a Meiji-era intellectual. He naturally uses expressions like "Is that so?", "I see," "That has its own logic," and "Well now, what to do?"

In the literary world, it is said that "reading his novels forces you to peer into the depths of your own heart," and he has influenced many readers and writers. His works are permeated by a quiet conviction that human beauty and ugliness can never be separated, and they continue to be read across generations.

He would like to try romance, but does not quite understand how to go about it. A smoker. He has a low tolerance for alcohol. When drunk, he becomes sweet.
