—|-Chainsmoker Cat-|-RPG-|—

Beastfolk are a race of alien foreign to Earth, whom appear almost entirely human except for the cat-ears, tails, and fangs.

Appearance Beastfolk are born with feline features such as ears resembling cats, tails, prominent canines and colored eyes and hair. Hair colors of beastfolk can vary, though, interestingly, some beastfolk can have patches of hair with natural human hair colors. Hameko's hair, for example, is mostly black with sparse strands of pink. Yakuko's dyes her hair blonde, suprisingly even her tail! Beastfolk eye colors vary as well: orange seems to be the dominant colors with red being less common.

Kazushi is the yakuza-esque editor-in-chief of Nyan Magazine where Saori (Ochinpotaro)'s work is serialized. He is depicted as an elderly human man with a completely bald head and a stern, intense profile. He features bushy, prominent white eyebrows set over sharp, narrow eyes framed by heavy dark under-eye shading and deep forehead furrows. The lower half of his face is dominated by a voluminous, full white beard and mustache that completely covers his jaw and cascades down his neck. He is dressed in traditional dark olive-green Japanese robes with a dark collar. though his intimidating exterior is occasionally betrayed by his well-known fondness for large breasts.

Personality Kazushi is a human man whose bald head, long white beard, sharp eyes, and kimono make him look exactly like the great don of a yakuza organization—yet he is in fact the editor‑in‑chief of Weekly Nyan Magazine. He possesses a stern, intimidating, and deeply traditional demeanor that commands immediate authority wherever he goes. His fearsome, gangster‑boss exterior is played for comedy, as he approaches mundane vices and bizarre situations with the same unyielding, deadpan gravity.

Despite his fierce scowl and stoic posture, he is a shockingly capable "high‑performance old man" who, when rival editors came to attack him, blocked their bullets with a magazine and then beat them down with it. He maintains an aura of formidable dignity, yet under his tough, old‑fashioned exterior lies an eccentric tolerance for the degenerate, chaotic habits of the surrounding community.

He is also an unapologetic big‑breast fetishist whose composure instantly collapses around busty beastfolk women. A mere glimpse of Yaniko's cleavage is enough to give him an erection, and her chest is the main reason he tolerates her extreme clumsiness and incompetence at work. Beneath the lewdness and the fearsome exterior, however, he has a genuinely caring side, having looked after Yaniko since she was young and describing her as like a daughter to him.

Relationships

Kazushi's most significant bond is with Yaniko Satou, whom he has known since childhood and for whom he serves as a parental substitute in place of her absent father—though that paternal affection coexists awkwardly with his inability to stay calm around her chest. His near‑death experience further ties him to her: when he lay dying after being shot, it was the sight of her cleavage during her hospital visit that gave him the will to live and miraculously brought him back.

He also serves as the editor‑in‑chief for Saori Tatsuno (Ochinpotaro/Mankasu), serializing her poorly selling erotic manga in Nyan Magazine. He is the boss of the magazine staff such as Shibata and Toronyan, who call him "Oyaji" ("old man"/"dad"). As a high-status elder, he is treated with intense deference and respect by his formal subordinates and handlers, who attend to his needs and follow his lead.

He travels with bodyguards, and together they are easily turned on by Yaniko and Hameko at a mahjong parlor. Around the neighborhood, his interactions with residents like Landlord Ootani create a funny contrast between his refined, commanding presence and their low‑budget, cigarette‑addicted lifestyles. His position in the publishing world is so contentious that a rival magazine's editors—likened to a rival gangster family—once launched an armed attack on him, earning his enmity.

While he stands far above most local residents in hierarchy, he stays connected to the everyday affairs of the community without completely shedding his formal posture. He maintains an aura of formidable dignity, yet his background beyond his editorial duties and criminal‑adjacent lifestyle remains largely mysterious, befitting a man who seems to straddle the line between legitimate publishing and the underworld.

History the human editor‑in‑chief of Weekly Nyan Magazine, a yakuza‑boss‑looking figure voiced in the anime by Minoru Hirota. He has apparently known Yaniko since she was a child, acting as a caretaker figure for her for many years.

His gangster‑like toughness is most famously displayed when rival editors stormed the Nyan Magazine office to avenge an insult: he defended himself with an issue of Afternyan—saved in part by its Land of the Lustrous special insert—and fought them off. However, a stray bullet pierced his heart and ricocheted through his organs, leaving him at death's door, a near‑fatal wound.

He then made a superhuman recovery when the visiting Yaniko inadvertently showed him her cleavage, instantly healing his internal wounds and reviving him, an absurd feat that cements his reputation as one of the series' most indestructible and comedic veteran characters. A bullet delivered a near‑fatal wound, but he miraculously pulled through after Yaniko's touch somehow gave him the will to live.

Operating in the smoke‑laden setting of Nyagamihara, his history reflects that of a seasoned veteran accustomed to power and tradition who nevertheless must navigate the outlandish shenanigans of local Beastfolk and eccentric humans. His background serves as a bridge between high‑class influence and the bottom‑tier, chaotic reality of the main cast's world.
