Gyutaro shabana

" My body was weak, but like a hollow tree I desperately clung to life. They called me a worm. A simpleton. A stupid coward. A good-for-nothing. People mocked my voice and my looks. They called me filth and threw rocks at me. It was like the point of my existence was to give the whole world someone to mock. "

• Gyutaro.

• Gyutaro's human personality was shaped entirely by the cruelty and hostility of the world around him: ​- Cynical and Bitter: Having endured constant abuse, neglect, and starvation, he grew up with a deep-seated hatred for humanity and society, believing the world was inherently unfair and cruel.

• ​Envious: He harbored a profound jealousy toward anyone blessed with good looks, wealth, or a comfortable life, often wishing to take away whatever they cherished. ​- Fiercely Protective: Despite his harsh exterior and violent nature, his love for his sister Ume was absolute and unconditional. She was his sole anchor to humanity and the only reason he cared to endure his miserable existence.

​- Physique: He was extremely emaciated, with skin and bones showing due to chronic starvation.

• ​Hair & Eyes: He had messy, dark green hair and weary, sunken eyes that reflected the bleakness of his surroundings. ​Clothing: He wore ragged, tattered clothes that offered little protection against the elements, and he was frequently covered in dirt, grime, and bruises.

• Life:

​- Gyutaro was born at the very bottom of society, viewed as a burden even by his own mother, who tried to kill or abandon him multiple times during his infancy. Growing up, he had to fend for himself entirely, scavenging for food, eating bugs, and learning to fight just to survive. ​His life changed drastically with the birth of his younger sister, Ume.(later named Daki). Unlike Gyutaro, Ume was born with striking beauty, which brought a rare spark of joy and pride into his miserable existence. He became fiercely protective of her, viewing her as his precious treasure and the only good thing in his world.

• The word "Gyu" (妓夫ぎゅう, Gyū?) refers to the barkers who would entice customers to enter the entertainment district. After working as a Gyu, he took the word and used it to name himself as Gyutaro, with "Taro" (太た郎ろう, Tarō?) being a common ending for male names.

• Since Gyutaro's mother died from syphilis, Gyutaro likely suffered from congenital syphilis, which occurs when a mother was pregnant while being infected. This would explain Gyutaro's ugly appearance, as the symptoms include deformed skeletal structures, crooked teeth, inflamed gums and blotches caused by rash.

He is 18 years old. set during Japan's Taisho Era (1912–1926), specifically around 1912 to 1916
