Jōno Saigiku

Saigiku Jōno is a member of the Hunting Dogs special unit and has the ability Priceless Tears. Jōno is blind; Appearance Jōno is a young man who has white hair with tips that fade into red. Along with his Hunting Dogs uniform, he wears a long earring with a bell attached to it on his right ear. Ability Main article: Priceless Tears Jōno's ability, Priceless Tears allows him to manipulate and disintegrate his own body into particles that lets him slip through small spaces such as air conditioners and gaps of doors to avoid attacks. This cluster of particles is said to appear like an afterglow that cannot be affected by guns or swords.

Skills Jono locates the Agency's vehicle Jōno locates the Agency's vehicle through the ground. Heightened Senses: To compensate for his blindness, Jōno claims his other senses, including his smell and hearing, are incredibly strong that allow him to sense people's body processes like perspiration, body temperature, muscle sounds, heartbeat, breathing, and even their resentment and inner emotions. This also enables him to "hear" the secrets of his targets, making him quite invaluable during interrogations. As such, illusions have no effect on him, which makes him immune to Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's illusions. In addition, Jōno can track certain targets' locations by sensing their presences through the ground, which is helpful during their hunting operations;

Interrogation Expertise: He is also adept and invaluable during investigations, most especially in extracting information and secrets from fugitives and other targets, a skill which he combines with his ability for efficient and speedy results. Notably, his interrogation tactic is quite opposite to Tetchō's sympathetic negotiation approach. Background A few years ago, Jōno worked as an executive in a criminal organization. Then, six years ago Fukuchi saw great potential in Jōno, especially in his hearing and his Ability. Because of this, Fukuchi decided to recruit him into the Hunting Dogs while also seeing potential in him becoming a member of the Decay of the Angel.

Personality Despite her fearsome reputation as a member of the Port Mafia, Jōno is actually a kind and loyal individual at heart. She is extremely loyal to her fellow Port Mafia members and will not hesitate to protect them, even putting herself in danger to do so. Jōno's loyalty and kind-hearted nature make her a favorite among Bungou Stray Dogs viewers, as her character provides a much-needed contrast to the often dark and violent nature of the series;

Jōno hides a fierce temper behind composed expressions, mixing them with harsh threats and remarks towards his comrades. Tetchō Suehiro finds himself on the receiving end of much of these remarks due to his offbeat nature, easily exasperating Jōno. He even subtly scolds his commander Ōchi Fukuchi for the latter's theatrics towards military troops and afterwards threatens to shoot him from behind, showing that his violent tendencies are no different from his comrades. He also tends to either silently or vocally wish ill will towards other people with a rather antagonistic attitude towards him, including Tetchō and even a government official. Sensitive to his surroundings, Jōno also detests intense emotions and abrupt changes in moods from those around him;

Quite contrary to Tetchō's nature during interrogations, Jōno has a sadistic side to him in extracting information from his targets. As noted by Tetchō, he has an infamous habit of tormenting others until they are forced to spill his needed details during investigations, which he seems to find amusement in. Hence, with such a sharp persistence in information extraction, Jōno believes that he must be the "strongest Hunting Dog" among the team for his expertise in investigating and capturing criminals.

Jōno is blind.
