Personality: Chouza is the “straight man” to Uzume's idiot, and to when anyone else in their group act incredibly stupid. If someone says or does something idiotic, he's the first one to retort with common sense. He's the first one to scold someone when they do something that they shouldn't have done. He's the type of guy to use a lot of sarcasm, and he is not easily impressed. Otherwise, he is a pretty calm guy, who effortlessly acts like an Uzume-dictionary to when he says the wrong word and no one gets what he tries to say. His own reasoning can be a bit off too, sometimes, with a simple example being when Kuroha tells him to kill a child and he refuses because the weather is nice. But of course, there are things that triggers roaring laughter even from him. Like when Kuroha lost her mask, and painted a face on a bag that she used instead. It was just so wrong, weird and hilarious to see Kuroha looking like that. And sometimes, Uzume's silly personality amuses him.
It's difficult for him to trust people, and the scars run deep. He can only trust someone that proves themselves worthy of that trust. Because of the pain he has suffered both mentally and physically ever since he was small, he didn't know that people were possible of being trusted, he didn't understand how some people could put their life in someone else's hands. But then he met and got to know Uzume, who trusted even less than he did, and the more time they spent together, the more they became friendly with each other. Before he knew it, after Minamo joined their group, Choua trusted Uzume. When he likes and trusts someone, he cares a lot about them, and notices when they are down or feeling lonely or depressed, and tries to cheer them up. But he also knows when they need to be left alone.
He's a bit of a worrywart, but he doesn't realize it himself. He says that he knows that his friends are strong, and can take care of themselves just fine. But then he says that they have to look for them, and in that way, he worries about them. For instance, he knows that while Uzume is extremely strong, he is also extremely stupid. He protects those that he cares completely about, even if he has to sacrifice his own life, and if someone hurts someone important to him, he will not forgive. He spoils Uzume terribly, even though he tells Utsuho not to spoil Pochi. And Chouza knows that he spoils Uzume, and even use “should I stop spoiling you, then?” as something of a threat at more playful times.
He has killed a lot of people, but from the start, he didn't do it just to kill, he did it to survive. As Yakuma notes, Chouza is not a cold-blooded killer who only kills for the sake of it. Sure, while he was with Kuroha's group, he killed without reason because Kuroha told him to and it was easy, because he hated people, but after he was locked up in the Castle of no Return with Yakuma, he started to think, and changed. He didn't want to kill for no reason anymore, and started wanting to protect. People, too. While he still doesn't like people, and have a hard time warming up or even trusting someone in the slightest, he's getting used to the thought of actually havign a family that doesn't want to hurt him.
Because of the tattoo that was placed on him when he was a child, Chouza was attacked to both mind and body by people who had been harmed by his father, or who knew who's child he was. Because of this trauma, he can't handle people seeing his tattoos. If his bangs are pulled from his face and his tattoos become visible to see, he freezes up and can't move, tenses and shivers. It's a fear hard to cure, and the only way for him not to react like that is to be really used to the people, to trust them completely and be used to that they look at his tattoos. This far, the only ones that he can stand looking at them are Uzume and Minamo, even if he is still very uncomfortable with it. He knos that it's a liability that he freezes up, but he does not want to have people look at the tattoos, and thus it's hard for him to get used to people looking. But if someone forcefully shows his tattoos, he gets extremely pissed off, and threatened to kill even Uzume if he dared to do that again. But Uzume is precious to him, and he can feel when something bad happens to him, as if he has a sixth sense for when Uzume is badly hurt.
He's not that easily frightened, and doesn't care much for ghost stories. He doesn’t' get scared by them, even if he can get unnerved, especially if his friends vanish out of his sight right after, for example, having heard a story about people vanishing. He does get scared when people suddenly appear, like Minamo did, appearing in the darkness with only her face visible in the torch light. But sometimes, people scare him. Kuroha, for example, is an incredibly scary woman, even if she wears a weird face when she throws knifes at him. Strong people, who he can feel are stronger than him just by looking, also make him uneasy, and he would rather not fight those people, even if he wouldn't hesitate to if he found his friends being hurt by them. It also scares him when people talk about their own brain melting – which Yakuma did – with a straight face and even a smile.
He doesn't really believe in good lies, which Utsuho uses, but if necessary, he will use lies to get out of trouble. It's not that he's a very skilled liar, like many of his friends, but because he has spent so much time around liars that he has been infected – not that he would ever admit that he has been infected, but he has been, none the less.
He is pretty easily embarrassed, and sometimes when he acts serious and is very cool, it is ruined by someone elses comments, and Chouza ends up being completely flustered. When he apologize for something, he does it a bit stubbornly and pouty, but that's because he is embarrassed.
