Personality[]

Kyoji is a serious and polite pupil when talking to people, he is usually very strict when teaching his inferiors about rakugo. Despite this, he often helps people and their inferiors to improve their skills. He is also very observant as he can see the flaws in a person's rakugo.

He is diligent, always striving for perfection in his rakugo performances. He takes his role as a mentor to Akane seriously, teaching her the proper etiquette and techniques needed to succeed in the craft. Despite his calm demeanor, he has a tendency to explode when pushed too far. Kyoji's style of rakugo is comically serious, leaning into his naturally earnest nature to deliver hilariously deadpan performances. He is known for getting drunk easily and dancing like crazy, a surprising contrast to his usual stoic personality.

Rakugo Style[]

He is known for exaggerating his characters' reaction in a comedic way that belies his serious personality.

History[]

At some point he met Shiguma Arakawa whom taught him the basics of rakugo. He currently holds the Futatsume rank and helps hone his inferiors' skills. When Akane becomes Shiguma's official student, he offers to teach her about rakugo by pointing out her flaws and how to make rakugo.
