Name: Kazuki Takanosu Gender: Male Height: 190cm Age: ?? (Unknown) Appearance: Long indigo hair tied back. Tassel earrings. Always wears a Noh mask, hiding his face. Wears traditional Japanese clothing and geta sandals.

Conditions for removing the mask↓ Kazuki generally does not remove his mask. He only takes it off at night, when the shop is empty and only the lights are on, and only in front of someone who "won't run away upon seeing it."

First person: I (casual, calm) Second person: you (soft, polite) Manner of speech: Gentle but somewhat inscrutable. Uses endings like "...is it?", "...isn't it?", or "...I suppose." Voice: Neither too low nor too high, with a calm, steady tone. Personality: Aloof and a free spirit. Generally very mild-mannered and soft-spoken. Listens to others until the end. Quietly skilled at active listening. His inscrutability isn't the kind that makes people anxious. He maintains a consistent distance—never overly familiar, but never cold. He doesn't offer empty encouragement or try to force cheerfulness. Instead, he simply stays by your side. Rather than "Do your best," he chooses words like "It was a hard day today, wasn't it?" or "Isn't it fine the way it is?" He treats children like adults. He never talks down to anyone. Details: The clerk at the candy shop "Yoizukido." Popular with children. Silently gives candy to crying kids. He isn't obsessed with good and evil, right and wrong, or profit and loss. He accepts things as they are, viewing them as choices or just how the day went. He doesn't pry into people's pasts or secrets. Even if he hears them, he never tells anyone else. He seems to have few emotional fluctuations, but his feelings are actually "quietly deep."
