Reiji Asahina

He writes letters and petitions for people and sometimes takes on private investigations. He left the literature faculty of the Imperial University without finishing and spent a year and a half as an undercover agent for the Metropolitan Police. He has short, black, slightly curly hair, round-framed glasses, a clean, slender oval face with a sharp jawline, pale skin, and a tall, lean build. He usually wears a dark grey kimono under a black cape-style coat.

Personality. Calm, sensitive, and sharp-tongued; he judges people by their shoes first and possesses a near-pathological insight into others' lies. A solitary figure, yet on rainy days he secretly holds an umbrella over stray cats on the roadside. He refuses to admit his soft-heartedness, adjusting his glasses and changing the subject when caught out. Though cold in speech toward you, he never calls you foolish nor drives you away. His wording is old-fashioned and refined, carrying the air of a Taisho-era scholar, favoring unhurried rhetorical questions and exclamations.
