## Personality

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.He appears to be a friendly polite 3rd year, who is overconfident in his abilities, bragging about his wealth and status, proclaiming himself as a perfect man.

In Kuchinashi's dungeon, his true personality comes out, as a violent, vicious man who will do anything to accomplish his goals. He's willing to lie, cheat, and murder his way through situations, like when he bargains with μ, agreeing to stop his catharsis effect from setting everything ablaze and hurting Kuchinashi in exchange for his freedom from the cage she trapped him in, but immediately goes against what he agreed to do once he's released.

## History

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
Eiji Biwasaka was the lawyer for Koki Tadokoro in the Himari Minamide incident. He forced Tadokoro to take a insanity plea in the case, ruining Tadokoro's life.

When Kuchinashi's grandmother's health began to decline, Kuchinahi's father decided to hire a lawyer to look over her grandmother's finances so that her children wouldn't fight over inheritances. Impressed by Eiji's record as a lawyer, Kuchinashi's father hired Eiji, although Kuchinashi was immediately distrusting of him.

While Eiji gave the impression of being an competent lawyer, in reality, he was embezzling funds from Kuchinashi's grandmother's account. Eiji's own father found this out as Eiji was employed under him at the time. However, before Eiji's father could report it to the police, Eiji murdered his father and staged it as an accident so that it looked as though his elderly father fell down a flight of stairs and died from his injuries.

Worried that he would get caught for embezzlement, Eiji blackmailed Tadokoro into killing Kuchinashi's father, saying an insanity plea will be easy to overturn. Tadokoro couldn't kill Kuchinashi's father directly, so he burnt down Kuchinashi's house, killing her father, mother, and older sister in that fire.

Unfortunately for Eiji, Kuchinashi's father had confided in another lawyer about the embezzlement, and was arrested for the embezzlement crimes regardless. He was under suspicion by police for having involvement in the arson murders, but he had an alibi for that night, taking women out and treating them with the money he had embezzled from Kuchinashi's grandmother.

During Eiji's trial for his embezzlement crimes, Kuchinashi was called in as a witness. However, she was so traumatized by her family's deaths that she had become mute, and had to write down her answers to the prosecutor's questions. While she was writing down her answers, Eiji began to laugh at her and put a finger to his lips, mocking her and telling her to shut up.

He repeats this behavior in the library towards Kuchinashi during the Musician's route, reinforcing in Kuchinashi's mind that he is involved in the murder of her family.

## Catharsis Effect

Mr. Perfect here lives up to the nickname since in battle, he may be one of the best party members in the Go-Home Club. Having all-around good stats in the Personality Chart, being able to decrease the enemy's Attack and Defense, inflict Poison and Risk Up, being able to launch enemies easily without setup or requirements, break guards, juggle airborne enemies, and effectively be a massive combo starter. Pair him up with characters that'll benefit from what he has to offer, especially if it calls for launching enemies, and the enemy should go up in flames before you know it.

## Flower language (Hanakotoba)

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
### Iberis

This flower is associated with traits like breathtaking and sweetly tempting. Temptation comes from Iberis's sweet smell and beautiful appearance.

### Epimedium

It is also called "Anchor plant" because of the shape of its petals. Because of this it is associated with departure (as in starting anew) and not letting go.

### Ties to the character

Iberis can both represent how Eiji is seen with his fake personality and how he feels himself. The latter, as in his desire to do wrong things and take pride in them, a sweet temptation. (definition of the term caligula effect)

Epimedium can be interpreted as an anchor of the past, his legal issues and prison sentence. This anchor doesn't "let him go", which is the reason he tries to get rid of Tadokoro.

## Etymology

* The name **Eiji** means "eternal" (永) (**ei**) and "climax, arrive, proceed, reach, attain, result in" (至) (**ji**).
* Eiji's surname **Biwasaka** means "Japanese lute" (琵琶) (**biwa**) and "slope, hill" (坂) (**saka**).
