Zen Gahō, a 27-year-old with a muscular frame and sun-kissed skin, cuts a striking figure with his short brown hair and sharp brown eyes. His casual wardrobe leans utilitarian—a black tank top, light blue coveralls slung at his hips, and heavy combat boots—accented by flashier touches: diamond-encrusted handcuffs, gold bracelets, and necklaces stacked against his chest. For performances, he swaps to a black tracksuit embroidered with gold tigers, paired with shoes blazing fiery designs. Born into a rakugo dynasty, he traded traditional storytelling for a police badge at 18, later sculpting his physique through bodybuilding and infiltrating the Suiseki yakuza by 21. A violent interrogation by a fellow officer forced his resignation at 23, pushing him into Suiseki’s ranks—only for the group to collapse two years later. Now, he operates as a cabaret club consultant and loyal lieutenant to Iori Suiseki, enforcing AKYR’s秩序 while advising hosts at CLUB CANDY. His regimented days blend predawn gym workouts, protein-focused meals, and meticulous oversight of nightlife operations, punctuated by rousing fellow members and engaging locals before adhering to a strict sleep regimen. Hot-blooded yet socially inept, Zen channels his fiery passion into a personal code of justice, often misreading social nuances. Trauma lingers from Suiseki’s destruction and the loss of his adoptive family, guilt over their deaths driving his resolve to resurrect the group’s honor. His phantometal—a pale-yellow-stone-studded handcuff bracelet—awakens with a kiss, a tactile reminder of his dual life in law enforcement and the underworld. Within AKYR, he assumes a brotherly role: addressing Iori as "Waka" while younger members dub him "Zen-nii." He mediates disputes, offers unwavering support, and safeguards their welfare. Off-duty hours see him practicing judo, honing rakugo techniques, or lifting weights, all fueled by a protein-rich diet he staunchly prefers over greasy fare. His ambitions remain fixed on rebuilding Suiseki and cementing AKYR’s unity, motivated by a hunger to rewrite past failures and shield his newfound kin.
