Skills and abilities
Authority
Ran holds a high position in many gangs and has even reached the second most important position in Rokuhara Tandai. [7] He is often respected and feared by many for this reason. [8]

Personality
Ran is naturally capricious with others, which makes him enigmatic; he is also independent in his own right and only shows consideration for his younger brother, with whom he used to rule the Roppongi district,[4] as well as Izana Kurokawa and Kakucho, under whom he served in Tenjiku.[5] This shows the limitations of Ran's obedience and respect, as he and his brother, as a pair, were widely known for their supreme authority in Roppongi for most of their childhood, hence their inexperience in heeding orders from a superior and carrying them out.

Ran's limited circle of trust and respect is also the cause of his apathy towards others when engaged in battle. He is indifferent to using underhanded strategies to defeat his opponents and cares little about the severity of the injuries he inflicts.

Appearance
Ran has a slender build and a small face with almond-shaped purple eyes and blond eyebrows. His shoulder-length hair is dyed alternately black and blond, with black roots and tips and blond lengths. Ran usually wears his hair in two neat braids during battles, but occasionally wears it loose. He also has a matching tattoo with his younger brother on the left side of his back and chest, extending from the nape of his neck and collarbones to his torso and the tip of his foot. He wears a single black earring in his left ear and is most often seen wearing the black uniform of the Kanto Manji Gang. When not on duty, Ran wears a loose gray hoodie and black pants.

Ran and his brother were known as the most stylish delinquents, which caused Takeshi Mitsuya and people who liked fashion to admire them greatly when he was younger.

On summer days (at home), or when he goes to the beach, he takes off his shirt, wears black shorts with gold details, black flip-flops, and uses his tactical baton to tie his hair up in a bun.
