Dice Arisugawa

Dice Arisugawa, a.k.a. Dead or Alive, is a gambler and the third member of Fling Posse.
== Profile==
A gambler so addicted to the game he’ll lay not only whatever cash he can get his hands on, but even his life, down on the table for the right bet. There’s nothing he despises more than the phrase, “the straight and narrow”, and he’s only survived as long as he has thanks to the extraordinarily good luck he was born with. He makes all of his decisions with the dice he carries around. As he often finds himself flat broke, he’s quick to latch onto anyone who will feed him.
==Appearance==
Dice has blue hair in a half mullet over his right shoulder and purple eyes. He wears a hair accessory on the left side with 12 gold beads, endings in a dice with a tassel. He also has noticeably sharp canines. He is often compared to a dog.
Dice wears a black long sleeved shirt, white ripped pants and black loafers. He has a black double belt set and a green parka coat with black fur and the Fling Posse gold star on the back. He also carries around a black boombox. 
Dice's Hypnosis Mic is a ribbon microphone with a gold accent around in the shape of a dollar sign. Dice’s speaker takes the form of a slot machine with multiple floating parts: three large 7s, dice and coins. The top has "Fling Posse" written on it.
== Personality ==
Dice is impulsive and energetic, often acting before thinking. He relies on his senses to operate in his surroundings. His extreme good luck leads to a very risk taking approach to life, betting large amounts of money and his personal belongings. He believes that the means justify the ends, taking on a ‘stray dog’ mindset towards the world. Dice is straightforward and oftentimes a tad blunt, not bothering too much about choosing his words too carefully. He is well read, but doesn’t bother wasting time with flowery speech. His knowledge of language comes through in his lyric writing, where he uses complex wordplay that far exceeds what would be expected of someone with his lifestyle. Dice is excellent at encouraging others and tells them what they need to hear in times of need. He is sensitive to the emotions of those around him and catches on quickly when someone is troubled.
Dice is shown to be very protective of those he holds dear, as shown when he defends Ramuda from threats and gets overly aggressive when standing up for Gentaro. He doesn’t waste time contemplating things he doesn’t consider important, such as the pasts of his opponents. His more simple approach to life balances out Fling Posse well. 
He has a tendency to hide his true feelings behind a mask of strength, wanting to appear unbothered in the face of obstacles. Over time, he opens himself up more to his friends and discusses more sensitive topics with them. He seems to be uncomfortable with the idea of involving other people with his personal issues. Before joining Fling Posse, Dice was implied to have had no real friends.

== Etymology ==
*Dice means "emperor" (帝) (dai) and "sum" (統) (su).
**His given name is an amalgamation of kanji from his parents' names: 帝 from his father, Mikado Asuka (written as 帝 飛鳥) and 統 from his mother, Otome Touhouten (written as 乙統女 東方天).
* Arisugawa means "exist" (有) (ari), "nest" (栖) (su) and "river, stream" (川) (kawa/gawa).
**Arisugawa comes from the Arisugawa-no-miya (有栖川宮, also known by its original name, Takamatsu-no-miya/高松宮), a branch of the Japanese imperial family that went extinct in 1987.
== Trivia ==
*Dice's quote was originally from Bob Marley's song called Live A Life Of Love.
*Dice is left-handed.
*According to the guidebook, Dice likes gambling and thrills, while he dislikes stable lifestyles and black tea.
*Dice's favorite food is a junk food. In Hypnosis Radio, Dice said that he likes pretty much any food, except for wild plants. It was also implied that he eats grass, as he mentioned that grass is nasty, bitter and can't be eaten raw - he goes on further to say that the 'grass in Tokyo' doesn't taste good.
*Dice's height, weight, birthdate and the name of his solo song all reference the number seven. 
*Dice's name is technically read "Daisu" and is written in kanji, which indicates that it is not a foreign name, but no official source has ever translated it as such. His name was initially written as "Daisu" in the Division Rap Battle music video and Fling Posse -F.P.S.M- trailer.
*Dice has stated in his HYPNOSIS Wave episode that he can play piano and violin, but prefers to play unconventional "instruments", such as the grass whistle or empty cans.
