Kaguya Hazama

Kaguya Hazama ( 間(はざま) 香久也(かぐや) Hazama Kaguya) is a Department of Mary Sues agent written by KnShirayuki.

Appearance
A strikingly handsome man firmly in bishōnen territory: straight, sleek black hair reaching his nape, black eyes and pretty lips. He more often than not wears hair decorations – either kumihimo cords or kanzashi hairpieces – and makeup, and occasionally wears glasses. He often wears Japanese clothes: simple hakama, nagagi or yukata, with the most modern style he wears being Taishō male student attire, and also owns a montsuki haori coat with the department flash patch as the mon. He has been remarked as looking more like a lacquered kokeshi doll than an actual person.

After a sudden appearance update before his fifth mission, his hair is much longer; it now reaches just below his hips, styled in a hime-cut.

Personality
A cultured young man with a special interest for traditional Japanese culture and video games. He seemingly operates in two "modes": normally soft and pleasant and occasionally slightly playful, but when it comes to badfics, he is easily irritated and unforgiving in his criticism. While in latter "mode", he has a tendency to wind up in incredibly weird and amusing accidents, but nevertheless can carry out a Sue sentencing and killing when the moment comes due to catharsis.

From his fifth mission onward, the behavior of his "angry mode" is different: rather than losing control over his body, he would always shout in a voice with an "eldritch quality", rendered in text as bizarre formatting.

Trivia

 * RC 381's number is preferably read miyabi ("elegance") via goroawase wordplay.
 * The agent's surname is a reference to the character Kan'ichi Hazama (間 貫一) from the novel The Golden Demon (金色夜叉 Konjiki Yasha) by Meiji author Kōyō Ozaki. His first name is a reference to the main character Lady Kaguya from the folktale Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. RC 381's first interlude reveals he's actually named after the fairytale character in-universe.
