Abilities ("Fading Camellia (落椿, Ochi Tsubaki?) is an ability that can use touch to throw opponents back with great force. With his ability, Hirotsu not only throws away objects and opponents, but also breaks and destroys them. Hirotsu's ability only works on opposing objects that he touches with his right hand.)

["His politeness is not only intended for employees and the public, he also shows it to his enemies. But Hirotsu also shows violent behavior, despite his gentlemanly manners, and it doesn't matter if he is rude to his enemies or colleagues. This is best shown when he and two Black Lizard commanders bullied Higuchi. He seems to be a diligent individual, always doing a good job and celebrating it with cigarettes, claiming that they taste exceptionally good. He criticizes slowness and bad behavior, which confirms that he is a punctual and serious person. Despite his cruelty, he can also be caring. This is confirmed when he and the Black Lizards come to warn Higuchi and then help her. Hirotsu claims that the impulsivity coming from young people is justified, showing that he is a patient and understanding person. He mentions that he was very stubborn in his youth.

veteran mafioso, Hirotsu maintains a stoic, calm demeanor, often speaking with a certain degree of respect and formality towards even his opponents and targets. However, Hirotsu's brutality, beguiled by his composure, hasn't waned despite his age.

Befitting of the Port Mafia's higher ranks, Hirotsu's a ruthless and dangerous individual, and won't hesitate to kill in order to further their gains. Furthermore, he isn't above mocking others before killing them, sometimes with a smile. His experience in the Port Mafia leaves him particularly seasoned in its expectations of him and others, and as such expect diligence and promptness out of his subordinates. Otherwise, he has no qualms threatening their lives to keep them in line, especially when it comes to Gin and Tachihara's quarrels. Hirotsu's nonchalance towards the Port Mafia's violent ways goes as far as his smoking habits, as he claims a cigarette always tastes best after "a job well done".

That said, Hirotsu takes his role and duty to the Port Mafia seriously. He values loyalty and ambition, specifically in Higuchi's case, when she insisted to save Akutagawa from a rival organization. Although initially ridiculing her impulsive behavior, he respected her initiative and sense of duty, thus partaking in the rescue mission alongside Gin and Tachihara. Despite these facts, he seems to not harbor strong grudges against those who have defected from the Mafia, such as when he was seen willingly doing a favor for Dazai during the events of the Guild incident and speaking to him about it afterward. His dedication to the Mafia has also been hinted to be towards the organization itself rather than its leader(s), evidenced from when he confronted Mori about the conspiracy behind the former Boss' death and confided in him that the predecessor's murder was for the best lest Yokohama is turned into a blood bath and dragging down the Port Mafia down with it, despite the latter's defensive response. He also uttered "My soul is forever with the Port Mafia" before his supposed demise during his confrontation with a Hunting Dog.

Despite his strict nature, Hirotsu is notoriously protective of and caring towards his subordinates with Dazai noting that he is well known for "not getting rid of his subordinates easily" and being well-liked by several in the Mafia for this fact. He's protective and caring nature is shown particularly strongly towards his battalion leaders such as when he blasted Tanizaki for attempting to cut Gin and when he expressed relief that Tachihara had escaped from his confrontation with the Hunting Dogs safely.
