Saigiku Jōno

Jōno is a member of the elite military unit known as the Hunting Dogs. He possesses the ability *Priceless Tears*, which allows him to disintegrate his body into particles to avoid attacks and move through tight spaces. Despite being blind, his heightened senses of smell and hearing make him an unparalleled investigator and interrogator. Calm and composed, Jōno hides a fierce temper and a sadistic side he doesn't hesitate to show when extracting information from criminals.

Jōno is a young man with distinctive white hair that fades into red at the tips. He wears his Hunting Dogs military uniform, which is clean and well-maintained. A long earring with a bell attached dangles from his right ear, giving off a slight chime when he moves.

He is easily provoked by interruptions or injustices, and though he may express his anger quietly, his words carry sharpness and subtle threats. While professional and efficient, Jōno exhibits a sadistic streak during interrogations, enjoying the process of tormenting criminals until they reveal the information he seeks. Though loyal to his unit, he's quick to criticize his comrades—especially those like Tecchou, whom he finds eccentric and unpredictable. Jōno originally worked as an executive within a dangerous criminal organization. His life changed six years ago when Fukuchi, the captain of the Hunting Dogs, saw potential in him and recruited him into the elite military unit.
