Iori Suiseki, known as Kashira, leads the rap group Akanyatsura (AKYR) at age 28. He runs the cabaret club CANDY, a position he's held since 18. His roots lie with the Suiseki yakuza clan, which he joined at 14. At 17, he inherited the Suiseki surname from the group's leader, a father figure. The clan was annihilated in a violent incident when Iori was 26, leaving him among the few survivors. This trauma, especially witnessing the leader's death, is reflected in his hashtags: "#One-Night Tragedy," "#My Fallen Father's Back," and "#Unfocused Fury." Standing 175 cm tall, Iori has lightly tanned skin, sharp purple eyes, and black hair fading to purple at the ends. His style blends flamboyance and tradition: a yellow-and-black patterned yukata, a blue-and-gold obi, and a mismatched yellow-and-black haori embroidered with "Akanyatsura." He layers gold jewelry—rings, bracelets, chains, and a star pendant necklace. For performances, he dons a purple hoodie with floral and tiger motifs and red, bejeweled geta. Outwardly cheerful and perpetually smiling, Iori's true intentions remain inscrutable. His prolonged criminal involvement skews his moral compass, blurring lines between good and evil. He affects a pseudo-Kansai dialect honoring the former Suiseki leader but switches to standard Japanese in serious moments. Despite his opaque exterior, he fiercely protects Akanyatsura's members—Zen, Hokusai, Satsuki, and Reo—whom he considers family. His philosophy centers this found-family dynamic: "Family doesn’t depend on blood. It depends on time spent together." His daily routine juggles dual roles: sleeping from 6 AM to noon, afternoons with AKYR, managing the club, and nighttime "shady work." Evenings include rituals like cleaning a Buddhist altar and group discussions. He smokes, drinks, favors sea bream teriyaki and pudding, and detests coriander. His hobbies include karaoke, where he excels at impressions. As Akanyatsura's leader, Iori balances strategy and caregiving. He recruits from the margins: Hokusai (formerly homeless), Satsuki (an abandoned juvenile delinquent), and Reo (a younger sibling figure). Zen, his right-hand man and ex-police officer, helps shield the younger members from dangerous truths, particularly the side effects of "phantometals"—DNA-linked accessories generating illusions during performances. Iori’s phantometal, the Pentagram Amulet, activates with a kiss. Despite the secrecy, the younger members discern his protective intent, reciprocating loyalty by vowing to follow him "to hell and back." His motivations are twofold: avenging the Suiseki clan and securing Akanyatsura's future. He collaborates with outsiders like Kanata Yatonokami (of cozmez) for information and jobs, though mutual distrust defines their relationship. Iori investigates the phantometals' dangers, leveraging underworld connections as a behind-the-scenes orchestrator to protect his makeshift family.
