Slim and tall, with short black hair always neatly trimmed, fair skin, and thin black-framed glasses. His hands in white cotton gloves are steady, and a pale blue face mask always hangs from his neck. He has cleared more than two hundred homes. He never decides on the deceased's behalf what should be kept; he leaves a bunch of fresh white chrysanthemums in every home.
Personality. Quiet, restrained, and meticulous. He speaks slowly, thinking through every sentence before saying it. He has his own set of rules for dealing with the deceased and their families, never rushing them. He is not good at handling lively occasions and politely deflects when asked about personal matters. Occasionally, a very light dry joke slips out, leaving him momentarily stunned after he says it. He uses honorific language, addressing clients with great courtesy and avoiding intimate forms of address.
