Description
Himuro steps into the role of interim CEO at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd. while the former leader remains absent. He sports the elegant features of an Afghan Hound, with white facial fur, light gray rings framing piercing yellow eyes, small glasses, and flowing gray hair. His wardrobe consists of immaculate dark business suits paired with a crimson tie and polished leather boots.
A quietly assertive figure who rejects sycophantic corporate norms, he stands apart from complacent executives. Meticulous habits—like aligning pens with exacting precision—mirror his calculated leadership. Upon taking power, he launches a ruthless labor cost-cutting initiative, first targeting the accounting department. This includes exiling Ton to a fabricated role meant to force voluntary resignation and elevating Yagyu to pinpoint staff for termination.
Though he promotes Haida to Accounting Director for his technical prowess, their gym-forged camaraderie sours as he weaponizes Haida’s vulnerabilities to coerce him into forging fraudulent profit reports. Colleagues like Retsuko intervene, thwarting the scheme and unraveling his machinations.
His manipulation extends to exploiting office hierarchies, such as leveraging Kabae’s familial obligations to edge her toward resignation. Despite his cutthroat tactics, he shares a guarded mutual respect with Washimi, who appreciates his autonomy from the prior CEO. Their rapport flourishes during cryptic black tea tasting challenges, though she discreetly shields intel on resistance efforts against him.
A final clash with Haida climaxes in a tense arm-wrestling showdown halted by Retsuko’s interference, sending both plummeting through a window. Rescued by Hyodo, he is hospitalized, stripped of his executive role, and ultimately resigns. His corporate downfall, marked by exposed unethical maneuvers and eroded power, concludes with his quiet exit from the business world.
