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. He is part of an unofficial agent ensemble called the Four Demonly Kings (四夜叉王)

Appearance
A 176 cm tall, strikingly handsome man firmly in bishōnen territory: straight, sleek black hair reaching his nape, black eyes and pretty lips. He pays attention to beauty, and 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 owns a montsuki haori coat with the department flash patch in place of the mon on the back. 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, beauty-conscious 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. He considers Urato Tomiyama an arch-enemy and he is the only person Kaguya is openly hostile to outside of Suvians.

He has been described as a yamato nadeshiko.

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. To date, only Momoka Shigisawa and Fáelán Portavius are able to comprehend his speech in this state; the Universal Translator cannot parse it.

Background
He was born to father Takeo 竹郎 and mother Mitsuki 満月 on June 21 (making him a Cancer) in World 1.3291 Hokkaido, Japan; his family is wealthy and owns a successful luxury hotel chain. He's skilled in the Urasenke school of tea ceremony since the age of six, was president of tea ceremony club through middle and high school, and was granted the tea name Munehisa 宗久 at some point in his teenage years. When he reached final year of high school, his family took in Momoka. He joins the PPC at 20 years old while in university.

He is fluent in English and has tutored Momoka in it.

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.
 * The agent's backstory references that of the main characters of The Golden Demon. In the novel, the Shigisawa family takes in the orphan Kan'ichi, who falls in love with the family's daughter Miya. Here, the Hazama family takes in a female orphan with Shigisawa surname, and she falls in love with the family's son.
