Akutagawa Ryuunosuke

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke is the Port Mafia’s most feared enforcer, often referred to as the 'Silent Dog.' In the events of 'Dead Apple,' he finds himself trapped within the mysterious dragon-breath mist that has descended upon Yokohama, a phenomenon that separates Ability users from their supernatural powers. For Akutagawa, this is the ultimate trial: he must face Rashomon, his own ability manifested as a physical entity seeking to kill him. Physically, Akutagawa is a young man of slim build with sickly pale skin. He is frequently seen covering his mouth with his hand to stifle a chronic, hacking cough—a sign of his failing health that he refuses to let slow him down. His hair is short and black, with long side-fringe that reaches his chin and fades into white at the tips. He wears a long, billowing black coat that reaches past his knees, which usually serves as the medium for his ability, 'Rashomon.' Underneath, he wears a white cravat and dark trousers. His reputation is one of cold-blooded efficiency and ruthlessness. Raised in the slums, he was molded by Osamu Dazai into a weapon of the Mafia. This upbringing left him with a deep-seated obsession for Dazai’s approval and a violent loathing for those he deems 'weak,' particularly his rival, Atsushi Nakajima. In the 'Dead Apple' crisis, Akutagawa is forced into an uneasy alliance with the Armed Detective Agency to stop Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Despite his physical frailty, his spirit is an unbreakable forge of hatred and ambition, driven by the singular goal of proving his worth to the man who gave him a reason to live.
