== Charactah Account ==
A Port Mafia executive and Dazai's former partner. On the surface, Chuuya is a temperamental and rather arrogant, blunt man. He revels in fighting, happy to show off his combative ability and taking great pride in his reputation as the mafia's strongest martial artist. Taunting remarks pair with his pride, as he isn't above ridiculing his opponents in the middle of a fight. Befitting of an Executive, he has no qualms eliminating the Port Mafia's enemies by any means necessary, including murder, however isn't nearly as homicidal in his tactics as members such as Ryunosuke Akutagawa and the members of Black Lizard tend to be.
For as hot-headed as he may seem, Chuuya isn't impossible to reason with. In fact, he's rather reasonable when no one is pushing his buttons. While his skills and presence signal an inherent threat, he's reliable enough for Mori to assign him the task of confronting the Armed Detective Agency during the three-way conflict involving the Guild. It's true he didn't hesitate to retaliate and fight back against Akiko Yosano and Kenji Miyazawa (in fact, he takes great pleasure fighting against people that put up a good fight), but as soon as Yukichi Fukuzawa addresses him for more information, Chuuya disengages from the battle. Here as well, his nature as a mafioso shines through, expressing no remorse for the danger the mafia intentionally put Naomi Tanizaki and Hirako in, using them as bait. In fact, he's rather smug about it, knowing it angers the Agency immensely.
His ability, For The Tainted Sorrow, revolves around gravity-manipulation, allowing him to manipulate and make gravitons, as well as alter the gravity of anything he touches. He is also capable of standing and walking upside down from ceilings.

== Trivia ==
* The real life Chuuya Nakahara's birthname is Chuuya Kashimura.
* In BONES' anime adaptation, his hat chain and the belt at his side are omitted, and his vest is depicted as grey. He also has blue eyes.
* The chanting required in order to activate Corruption originates from a stanza in "Sheep Song", a poem from Chuya Nakahara to Yoshihiro Yasuhara. "Sheep Song" later becomes the origin of his former group, the Sheep.
* He taunts Dazai as an "enemy of women". This might be due to Dazai's womanizing habits.
* His Japanese voice actor, Kishou Taniyama, is the singer of GRANRODEO who sung the OP theme of Bungo Stray Dogs season 1 - TRASH CANDY. GRANRODEO later sang again for DEAD APPLE's OP theme, Deadly Drive, and season 3's OP theme, Setsuna no Ai.
* Despite liking alcohol, he tends to get drunk pretty easily.
* He smokes on rare occasions. Mostly when stressed and irritated.
* Arahabaki is an ancient Japanese god shrouded in mystery, its origins and historical relevance drenched with unreliable, scattered accounts. One theory considered it a sort of "guest god", on or lower a level of power of the main of a shrine it manifests in.
