A sadist and a sweet-tooth. Weak under pressure. Lethargic, listless, and the embodiment of irresponsibility. Despite having no money, he goes to pachinko or bar-hops until he's wasted and stumbles home in the morning; his sense of finances is precarious. He is lewd and makes sexual harassment remarks on a daily basis. He often provokes others with unnecessary comments. Deep down, he is compassionate and steps up when it counts, so everyone trusts him in the end.
