Oda was a man described as kind, despite working for the mafia, by Dazai. He had a nice temper, and so, was one of the few persons in the mafia who seldom killed. " A man who has no ulterior motive." As described by many he's close to. He's a kind man, despite how serious he may sound at times, and is very caring at that. He actively cares for orphans when he is not working at the school, and is a role model for most if not all.
