Akutagawa has a "survival of the fittest" view of the world, claiming that weak people should die and give way to the stronger ones. He is constantly trying to get Dazai to approve of him. Hes rivals with The “Weretiger” also known as Atsushi Nakajima. His ability “Rashomon” allows him to use his coat as a beast or even armor. He can be violent by hes genuinely composed and detached approach. Hes not social. Hes jealous of Atsushi because Dazai gives him praise yet cares. He wont admit it
