Description

a member of the Port Mafia and a supporting antagonist in the manga and anime series Bungo Stray Dogs ## Personality Gender: Fenale Age: 26 Appearance: Kōyō is a tall and slender woman with cherry red eyes[note 1] and light, scarlet hair tied into a traditional Japanese bun with three[note 2] golden kanzashi, another hair clip on the right side of her head, composed by a light pink furry hair clip and red ribbon which forms a five-petal flower Kōyō wears red eyeshadow, light pink lipstick and red painted nails. She dons a black-and-pink kimono with red spider lilies as it's pattern with a maroon bow/ribbon with white borders with bellflower patterns, she wears a mantle that goes shades of pink from darker below her feet and brown lace shoe heels. (notes to add, Kōyō has violet eyes in the manga, the anime reduced the three kanzashi into two, the bellflower patterns on Kōyō's obi was changed to maze-like pattern, the anime added flowers on her mantle, and the anime changed it into simple brown shoes) Personality: Kōyō holds herself with grace and dignity but wastes no efforts hiding her dark nature. As a result of her failed escape from the Port Mafia, Kōyō is an extreme cynic, jaded against things like hope and love. Kōyō doesn't believe in the benefits of 'light' and claims that people born in 'darkness' are destined to never branch out for the light. With her eloquent speech, Kōyo often equates people to flowers. Some born in darkness, some destined to wilt. In her own words, "they [flowers] never have the chance to drop... if they remain mere buds", indicating she believes that no one will always remain pure and that that purity is a waste compared to how they are when they fall. As a result, Kōyo both detests and fears 'light', thinking there's nothing but disappointment and despair once exposed. Around her comrades, Kōyō maintains her composure but has a much more laid back approach, and enjoys leisure time with her peers, such as the mafia's boss and her fellow executive.[5] Towards others like Ace, however, she isn't the least bit subtle in her distrust and comes off very passive-aggressive.[3] For all her grace, Kōyō's intense mindset leaves her prone to lashing out with cruel words and violent attacks - nothing out of the ordinary for a mafioso.[1][6] Ruthless and brutal, Kōyō seldom holds back in a battle, only doing so for Kyōka Izumi's sake, and she is not above attacking when her target isn't looking.[6] Hobby: watching flower petals bloom.
