Minami
Minami (a.k.a. Kaji-Kun | Minami Kaji | Minami Daisuke)
Minami is a furaribi who was kept by Majima Goro as a pet. Although he learned to take human form, and is considered a member of the family, both he and Majima continue to refer to him as a pet, and neither see anything wrong with that.
He is fiercely loyal to Majima, and modelled parts of his human appearance on him, including adopting his exagerated Kansai accent.
His true name is Minami, but when interacting with humans he uses Minami as a surname. The firstname on the legal documents Nishida acquired for him have the name Daisaku (written with the kanji for Big Schemes), which was chosen by Majima. However, his preferred first name is Kaji (meaning fire, the name given to him by Majima when he was first brought back to the offices in furaribi-form), and this is what most of the family call him.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Minami's human form is heavily tattooed, and his irezumi are unusual as they incorporate a mixture of Japanese and traditional Western tattoo elements, including a skull and knife, a panther, and a pin-up girl.
Special abilities
As a furaribi, he has the ability to generate fire and heat, and can breath fire, which he uses as a weapon in fights. While in his furaribi form, his entire body is perpetually on fire, but in human form he can turn this on and off at will.
Apparel & Accessories
He has a labret and eyebrow piercing, as well as having both ears pierced.
He dislikes clothes, and refuses to ever wear a shirt, even going so far as to burn them off himself when Nishida has forced one onto him. He generally wears track pants or other sports wear on his lower half, with either trainers, dress shoes, or work boots, depending on circumstances.
Social
Hobbies & Pets
He loves kareoke, and insists it is the best part of being human.
Relationships
History
Majima was told to 'deal with' Minami before Minami had learned to take human form. Shimano intended for Majima to kill him, but Majima decided he was cute, and chose to interpret 'deal with' as meaning 'get him away from Shimano'.
He took Minami back to the Majima Family offices, were he kept him in the basement as a pet.
Minami eventually learned to take human form and speak, but it did not occur to either him or Majima that this meant he should no longer be kept as a pet. Since that meant he was always at the office and intensely loyal to Majima, Nishida began treating him as just another (albeit significantly more on fire) chinpira.
Nicknames & Petnames
Majima named Minami Kaji-kun before he learned to speak, and the nickname as stuck. Minami usually just calls Majima Oyaji, copying Nishida, but also occaisionally calls him mommy, as Goromi referred to herself that way the day she saved him from Shimano.
