🍼|| Kunikida Doppo

Background
Alongside working in the Agency, Kunikida previously worked as an algebra teacher at Shin-Tsuruya Institute twice a week. Because of Azure King case, he left his job at the Institute to devote himself entirely to the Agency.[22]

Ability
Main article: The Matchless Poet
Kunikida's ability, The Matchless Poet (独ど歩っぽ吟ぎん客かく,, Doppo Ginkaku?, lit. "Lone Poet"), allows Kunikida to make objects written on the papers of his notebook come into existence. However, it does not work on objects larger than the notebook. Such objects include wire guns, handguns, grenades, and flashbangs.

He is shown to be able to use pre-written notes as a means for his object summons, which can be especially convenient if one of his hands is bound and incapacitated. Also, he is able to remotely activate his ability, transforming pre-written notes into objects, which come in handy when supporting other members from afar.[17]

Kunikida deeply thought about this statement, causing him to re-evaluate his ideals drastically, and he says that idealistic thought alone won't save lives and that they must choose to be more realistic. By the end, Kunikida made a self-sacrifice, sticking to his desire to keep his comrades alive and telling Tetchō Suehiro that he "won't let anyone ruin his plans" and that he shall let his ideals soar with his "life as fuel".[19]

From then on, Kunikida maintains his steadfast loyalty and faith in the Agency, more so when they reunited partially[20] and fully to take on their formidable adversary together

Kunikida is also somewhat naïve and prone to easily believe Dazai's lies, including the "merit" of a noose when it comes to improving neck strength[10] and that extreme shouting can cause hemorrhoids,[13] which he later jots down in his notebook for future reference

Kunikida values human life, as he strives to save all innocent people during dangerous events in Yokohama. He sticks to this belief after seeing young people injured or killed in front of him. As a result, Kunikida never thought killing his opponents is the only option, and constantly looked to solve problems without bloodshed. Due to Kunikida's passion to try to protect the city and its people, Ranpo believes he is the strongest and most virtuous person in the Agency. This calm front begins to crack when he is forced to "bend the rules", resulting in a mental breakdown.[17]

Kunikida's mental state continued to deteriorate after the Cannibalism when being hunted by the Hunting Dogs, and he loses self-confidence and "the light he always sees on the other side of the mirror".[18] His ideals were challenged by Saigiku Jōno, who calls them "big and lofty as a hot air balloon". He believes that Kunikida's ideals will disappear if his comrades die, and that he will feel "relief

As a member of the Armed Detective Agency, Kunikida is very professional and diligent when it comes to his job, because to him, the reputation of the agency takes precedence over anything else.[8][9] He constantly feels the need to organize, gather, and schedule everything,[1] which is why he comes off as somewhat strict and harsh during investigations.

He is also practical to a fault, as he almost considered abandoning a kidnapped Atsushi Nakajima, because the boy's presence might implicate the Agency.[10] He also once advised Atsushi to give up on the wanted Kyōka Izumi, lest his one-man boat might sink the both of them if he saves her,[11] though he soon encourages Atsushi later on when the latter shows resolve to rescue her.[12] Despite this, Kunikida is nonetheless a trustworthy and loyal detective upon whom many in the Agency rely on because of his authoritative capability and responsible nature, which is why he is deemed as the Agency's next-in-line to becoming its President.[1]

He is almost never seen without his trademark notebook, which he believed to be an "ideal" and guide to life. He utilizes it for several reasons, such as data-gathering, planning, making the world a better place, and most importantly, a medium for his ability, The Matchless Poet.

Though he often appears calm and careful, Kunikida is also known for his exasperated outbursts, which are primarily caused by his partner, Osamu Dazai, who constantly vexes him with his suicidal attempts.[10][13] However, Kunikida never genuinely disliked Dazai. He acknowledges Dazai's skill and knowledge[14] when first working with him,[3] and he entrusts much of the Agency's strategies to Dazai.[10][15] Kunikida extends similar faith to Ranpo Edogawa, as Kunikida actively participates in letting Ranpo believe Super Deduction is a real ability, since Kunikida, like the rest of his comrades, respects Ranpo's detective prowess and its value to the Agency.[16]

Despite his well-rounded maturity level,

Appearance
Kunikida is a tall and slim young man with deep, green-grey eyes. His bangs are parted to the right and he had rather neat, but spiky golden-blond hair that ends in a long ponytail. He is always seen wearing his glasses.

His attire consists of a beige vest over a black long-sleeved dress shirt, a red ribbon tied into a bow around the collar, beige pants, and plain brown shoes.

After the cannibalism and Kunikida being sentenced to prison for child murder, which was a frame-up by a certain evidence suppressor, Kunikida wears a prison uniform.[5] After the Armed Detective Agency was framed as terrorists, he wears a white hood suit and changes into riot gear with black boots and black gloves, originally belonging to the military police.[6]

As a result of the explosion he made to stop the Hunting Dogs from capturing the other agency members, Kunikida becomes a double amputee on his arms.[7] However, they returned to normal thanks to Yosano.
