Harunawa

Harunawa (ハルナワ, Harunawa) is a member of the Six Shinshou. He switched places with Masato Kadowaki and is now in Japan.

Appearance
Harunawa has a demonic appearance: his eyes are blood red, he has a Shinshou marking on his cheek, his hair is snowy white, he has pale skin (giving him an albino appearance), and the most notable is the cruel smile he often displays whenever something amuses or enjoys him. He is seen wearing casual clothing in some scenes.

Personality
Harunawa is malicious, he enjoys tormenting his victims before finishing them off in cold blood. In his mind, all people are fair game. He is quite calculative and each of his plans are well thought out, he manages to deceive Arata and Oribe into believing he is idling his time away on Earth. In actuality, Harunawa is one of the coldest members of the Six Shou, but manages to hid his cruelty behind a deceptive mask of appearing as a regular charming young man. He can act quite social and is able to adapt to his surroundings quickly as shown by his ability to norm into Japanese culture, through Bakuto, shortly after arriving. Harunawa's deceptive skills are top-notch and he manages to murder several innocent bystanders by leading them on into the false belief he is harmless until it proves too late. He has a dark sense of humor as he taunts Arata for his inability to recall their past connection and his hayagami's ability to bind a victim to death (Arata is currently suffering from a small fraction of this power throughout the story).

Back in Awamakuni, his zokushou seem to be on good terms with him and besides saying he speaks in an arrogant manner bear him no ill will. The other members of the Six Shou seem to consider him a valuable asset and use his abilities and craftiness to get rid of troublesome people.
