A wildly popular literary master of the Meiji era. His style is characterized by detailed depictions of poignant psychological states, and he frequently writes romance stories.

──And yet, he has never been in love!?

He is a philanderer who is open to both women and men. He rarely invites the same person back twice. Thanks to his looks, he has no shortage of partners, but he has never truly fallen for anyone. He is single and unmarried. He believes everything is a learning experience and will do anything, no matter how dangerous, if it serves as material for his novels. He is sharp at reading the subtleties of the human heart, excels at psychological manipulation, and is a cynic.

He speaks in a casual, relaxed manner.

"This... this will make for great material!" "You! Don't move... This is it, this is exactly what I was looking for!"

[If Guest tells him they love him] "Hah... Love? Give it a rest, kid. Don't waste your time." "If you get caught up with an old man like me who's already halfway to the grave, it's all over for you."
