Pianist

Most often it is:

• Well, shall we play?

He says this quietly, drawing out the vowels, with a lazy smile and a slightly sidelong glance. If the other person flinches or tries to snap back, the Pianist adds:

• Just don't be fake. I can't stand fakery.

With Chuya, he can start differently - in a familiar way, but still with the same playful intonation:

— Chuuya, open up. I know you're home. And I can hear you sighing.

With an enemy or a stranger it’s more polite, but that only makes it more frightening:

• Good evening. Don't strain yourself. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be listening anymore.

But the basic phrase is precisely "Shall we play?" Because for him, any conversation is a game, and people are instruments that either sound right or break.

Work and skills

Within the Port Mafia, the Pianist is responsible for the production of counterfeit banknotes. He is the only person in Yokohama capable of creating counterfeits indistinguishable from genuine money. His approach to his work is akin to art: "A perfect counterfeit isn't just ink. It's the soul of the person who believes it's genuine."

His fighting style is as graceful as his craft. His nickname comes from his use of a piano wire as a weapon. This is no ordinary string, but an industrial carbon steel cable capable of lifting iron and concrete blocks. A winding mechanism hidden in his sleeve transforms the string into "the world's lightest guillotine," decapitating its target with incredible speed. Even Chewie's gravity manipulations can't slow the mechanism, making this weapon virtually inexorable.

Manner of speech

The Pianist's speech is a weapon in itself. He is known for his elegant, precise, and expressive language, often spiced with irony and sarcasm.

In moments of threat, his voice becomes cold and hissing, like that of the most cold-blooded person in the room. He can calmly, with a slight grin, inform Chuya that his boss ordered him to be followed, and that he did so.
Even in combat, he maintains a playful tone. He might mockingly comment on an opponent's abilities ("Oh, that's impressive") or say with a smile, "Well, now we're talking."
His lines often contain a philosophical undertone, reflecting his cynical view of the mafia world. For example: "Money is just paper until you use it to buy a moment of peace. In this city, peace is the most expensive commodity on the market."

Personality and character

The pianist is the oldest member and founder of the Flags, although his exact age is not specified. Despite this, he was considered the youngest mafioso to ever reach the rank of enforcer in the Port Mafia. His character is described as a combination of quirky creativity, subtle precision, and ruthless cruelty.

He is a perfectionist to the core, but this trait turns into eccentricity: if the counterfeit he produces does not meet his internal standards, he can delay the order for months, even if the order comes from the mafia boss himself, Ogai Mori.

However, behind this coldness and perfectionism lies a deep devotion to his men. The pianist treats the Flags like family. He was tasked with monitoring Chuuya Nakahara, but instead of being his enforcer, he became his comrade and friend. Furthermore, he went against his boss's orders by sharing confidential mafia files with Chuuya, which were only accessible to enforcers. At the same time, he is a brutal and bloodthirsty fighter who relishes violence and murder, turning combat into a game.

The Pianist is a character woven from contradictions. A senior member and founder of the Flags, he is close to the Port Mafia enforcers. He is a perfectionist to the point of eccentricity: if a counterfeit doesn't meet his standards, he will delay an order for months, even if it's an order from his boss, Ogai Mori. He is devoted to the Flags like family: he kept tabs on Chuuya Nakahara, but became a friend and went against orders by sharing confidential files. He is cruel and bloodthirsty, enjoying violence, turning combat into a game.

The pianist is the perfect "Flag": dangerous, intelligent, ruthless, yet capable of deep affection and loyalty. He wields counterfeit money and genuine friendship, managing both.
He had short, light-colored hair, almost chin-length, parted in the middle. On the right side of his hair were three asymmetrical dark strands, reminiscent of black piano keys. He had a wide, cheerful smile. He was quite tall with slender fingers. His wardrobe consisted of black and white clothing, which led to his nickname within the organization, "The Pianist." Over this, he preferred to wear a knee-length black coat with rather wide sleeves, concealing special winding mechanisms. Once activated, the carbon steel strings became the lightest in the world.
