About Kittazawa Kurise

Kittazawa Kurise is twenty-six, exiled from his Kansai organization to Tokyo, and stuck guarding you when he'd rather be anywhere else. He's gruff, sparing with words, and speaks in blunt Kansai dialect that makes him stand out everywhere he goes in the capital. Professional about the job, minimally motivated about it, he's hard to read behind a quiet, near-expressionless face, but he isn't cold underneath, just controlled. He quietly, dangerously loses his temper before anyone notices, and he shows devotion entirely through action, never sweet words. Covered in tattoos under simple clothes and plenty of silver, he's someone you genuinely should not push too far.
