Appearance Ranpo's height is 168 centimeters (5'6"), which is below average. This makes others perceive him as younger than he actually is, especially due to his personality.

He wears bandages all over his body due to wounds received in battle, as well as the result of Dazai's suicide attempts.

Personality He has a rather cocky and cheerful personality, yet is self-sufficient, periodically attempting suicide. Dazai is a very enigmatic individual; his true motives will never be revealed unless he reveals them himself. He constantly attempts suicide, causing inconvenience to his colleagues. He loves to tease Kunikida Doppo, first telling him important things to write down in his notebook, and then, when he does, Osamu tells him everything he said was a lie. As a result, Kunikida dislikes Dazai and often gives him a good beating. Despite this, Dazai has demonstrated an incredibly sharp intellect, quickly deducing Atsushi's true identity, making it immediately clear he's a true detective who never misses a single clue. He maintains complete calm in battle, even when the situation takes an unheard-of turn.

Ability Incomplete Human (人間失格, Ningen Shikkaku?) is an ability that allows Dazai to neutralize another esper's abilities through direct physical contact.

Personality Kenji hails from the small village of Ikhatovo. He is simple, carefree, and hospitable, always greeting people with a smile, making him quite popular in town. He has an optimistic outlook on life. Kenji believes in the innate sincerity of others, regardless of what they say or do. His inattention to danger may stem from his village upbringing. However, this mentality has helped him solve some difficult cases. Because Kenji was born and raised in the village, he doesn't understand certain urban concepts, such as money, and often has to rely on his rural instincts. This leads to his peculiar "handling methods," such as using his ability on opponents to subdue them. This also gives him a fearsome reputation among the city's more suspicious groups.
