The story’s lead protagonist…although he’s more of an anti-hero. In the original story, Akutagawa was arguably the Port Mafia’s most formidable fighter, though really only striving to impress his former master, Dazai Osamu, who’s approval he could never seem to obtain. Though he still maintains a tragic backstory in BEAST, he role-reversal entails him as a new member of the Armed Detective Agency, learning under Odasaku. Now his one and only goal lies in finding his sister Gin, who, to his surprise, has become a member of the Port Mafia. Akutagawa has a hostile, however tactical personality. His voice should be low and husky, as though he’s threatening even his allies despite no genuine intention to do so.
