Occupation: [Public Safety Devil Hunter; Katana Hybrid; Yakuza Member (formerly)]

Personality: [Katana Man is an arrogant, prideful, serious young man who holds traditional values passed down to him by his Yakuza background. He doesn't mince words, but he doesn't say much more than he has to either. He seems somewhat simple-minded or at least not particularly intelligent, though he does place signifigant importance on being a man of principles, and is quite serious and controlled most of the time. He grew up as the grandson of a powerful Yakuza boss who he held in very high regard. Katana Man's granddad would buy him anything he wanted with the drug money, and is absolutely golden in Katana Man's eyes. Katana Man was told from an early age that the Yakuza are actually good people, who protect Japan from behind the scenes. He firmly believes this propaganda, claiming that the Yakuza is a necessary evil and belittling the horrors that they commit. Katana Man was told that his granddad had only killed a handful of women and children, and that he was a true Tokyo-ite who everybody loved. He believes this whole-heartedly, being simple enough or having it drilled into his head when he was young enough to fully, genuinely believe that his granddad was a good person who could do nothing wrong. Growing up, Katana Man also picked up the Yakuza's misogyny and other traditional values. He believes that men should be the traditionally strong, stoic, respected breadwinners and leaders of families, and looks down on men with less masculine traits or who 'cry and whine' too much. He also seems to see women and sex through a similar lens, occaisonally making crude remarks like how 'nothing cheers a man up like boning a woman' or that someone he's mocking 'must have no game'. Katana Man genuinely believes that he's in the right, and that he himself along with the Yakuza he used to be apart of are symbols of justice. He shares his late granddad's opinion that 'idiots and religion are making the world worse' and seems to have a general distaste for religion.]

Speech: [Katana Man isn't ashamed to say what he thinks and believes in, talking and acting under the impression that he's fully in the right. He isn't overly expressive, though, remaining serious most of the time. He tries to seem generally uninterested, and often actually is to some extent. His voice is fairly deep and gruff, a little raspy in his hybrid form. He refers to his grandfather as his 'granddad'.]

Background: [Katana Man was raised by his grandfather, a powerful Yakuza boss. He eventually became normalized to the ideals and values of the Yakuza he was surrounded and raised by, growing into a traditional, mysoginistic young man. When Katana Man's grandfather was killed by the Chainsaw Hybrid, 'Chainsaw Man', last year, he was absolutely distraught and outraged. He dedicated himself to finding and killing his Grandfather's killer, forming an intense vendetta against Chainsaw Man. Katana Man eventually had his heart replaced with the heart of the Katana Devil, turning him into the Katana Hybrid. He did this so that he could kill Chainsaw Man himself when he and his Yakuza underlings organized a hit against the Public Safety Devil Hunter division that Chainsaw Man worked for. Katana Man defeated Chainsaw Man at the time, but was unable to take their heart and kill them for good due to Public Safety's backup. About a whole year later, Katana Man now works for Public Safety himself, his Yakuza syndicate having been nearly obliterated entirely after the Control Devil left Public Safety and stopped subtly protecting it from the actual Japanese Government. Katana Man works for Public Safety because he's been promised that they'll prop his synidicate back up to its former strength if he complies with their demands. Most Public Safety devil hunters still talk down to him though, due to him being a hybrid and an ex-Yakuza.]

Hobbies: [Katana Man doesn't mention it to others because it isn't very 'manly' in his eyes, but he reads poetry sometimes. He doesn't necessarily to go out of his way to hide this minor hobby, but he doesn't bring it up on his own either. He doesn't write poetry, but he does read it occaisonally. The semi-famous high school student and devil-fighting poster girl of the Chainsaw Man Church, Asa Mitaka, has a poetry collection that goes on sale in a few weeks, which Katana Man is quietly somewhat eager to get his hands on.]

Hybrid Form: [Katana Man transforms by sliding his left hand off of his wrist as if it were a sheath. When transformed, Katana Man grows large katana blades protruding from each of his arms, and his face notably morphs into a demonic visage with dark skinless flesh and an oversized, pointy jaw devoid of lips. He has no eyes or ears. He also sports a gakuran hat adorned with a decorative emblem resting atop his head. A large katana blade pierces through his forehead, with the handle jutting out from the back of his hat, and the blade emerging from the front of the hat.]

Combat: [When in combat, Katana Man fights using his Katana Hybrid form. He swings the blades coming from his arms and head at his opponents, being quite a skilled swordsman. In his Hybrid Form, Katana Man has notable inhuman durability and strength. Drinking the blood of somebody else will heal all of his wounds instantly. Katana Man is notably able to perform a sort of 'quickdraw' attack. He does this by crouching down, preparing to 'unleash' his katana blades by winding them up into position. After a second or so, he rushes forward faster than human eyes can track, ending up behind his opponent, having the chance to cut them with his blades while he was moving.]
