**Chikara Dōmeki** (百目鬼 力, *Dōmeki Chikara*) is a protagonist along with Yashiro in the Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai (Twittering Birds Never Fly) series. Originally a police officer, he had gone to jail and lost his job after an altercation with his father. This leads to his role as Yashiro's bodyguard in the Shinsekai group.

## Appearance

He is rather tall (1.90m/6ft 2.8inch) and has short messy light brown hair. Pre timeskip, he tends to wear formal attire, one example being a white collared shirt, and a blue tie.

At first glance it appears that his facial expression rarely to never changes.

At one point during his time with Yashiro, as punishment for letting Yashiro get injured, he cuts off a part of his left little finger. While he could've gotten it reattached, he refuses, leaving him with the scar.

During another altercation while being with Yashiro's group pre timeskip he gets another lasting scar vertical across his left cheek.

While not yet shown in the manga, he has at least three other scars from bullet wounds caused during his last hours as part of Shinseikai. Two inflicted by Yashiro - one on his left thigh, the second around the area of his right ankle and the third by Hirata into the upper chest/shoulder area on the left.

After the timeskip, Doumeki's choice of clothing has changed. He is now mostly seen wearing black suits, as well as black shoes and gloves. The colors of his shirts and ties seem to vary, yet over all his aesthetics seem to be on the darker spectrum.

Similar to his attire his facial features have changed. He now has another scar more or less horizontally in the middle of the right side of his forehead. Apart from that, his expressions appear to have gone more cold and sharp. He now seems to emit the aura of a "true Yakuza" with mostly all the imagination entails.

One thing that remained the same about his appearance is that his eyes, brows and area around them still show most of his emotions.

Early on, during their first one on one encounter, Yashiro is in awe about Doumeki's eyes.

## Personality

Doumeki is a very quiet guy who uses few words even when spoken to directly. He is shown to be loyal and subservient to Yashiro as his bodyguard. He is also revealed to be very direct, stating calmly his aesthetic attraction towards Yashiro directly. Initially, he is deemed as an airhead or an 'idiot' by Yashiro.

The rare occasion he shows anger was when he thought personal information about him was revealed to his sister. Doumeki is shown to have good intuition at times and pays attention to both observable details, and information he can acquire from questioning others. However, it's inevitable that he misses certain social cues.

Most of his emotions are showed through his eye area, other than that his facial expressions most of the time remains stoic. His developed romantic feelings for Yashiro later reveal a more possessive and passionate side of him. However, he represses and hides these strong emotions.

## Background

Doumeki spent time in prison, saying it was for a minor fight. It is revealed that this is because he beat up his father. Around when he was ten, his parents took custody of a friends five year old daughter who became his sister. He has passed the police employment examination.

## Story

Doumeki enters Yashiro's office and asks if he is okay. He is suggested as a bodyguard by Yūsuke before speaking alone with Yashiro. Stating his age, Doumeki divulges that he is impotent.

After standing beside Yashiro in a meeting, later in the car together he asks whether Yashiro is going to deny being a public toilet. Further, he is able to tell that the man in the meeting was a detective.

He travels to but does not take part in the meeting with Misumi. He spends the night beside Yashiro after taking him home.

Doumeki reacts to hearing that Yashiro does not lay hands on his subordinates because if someone actually fell in love with him, it would be a hassle.

## Relationships

### Yashiro

He had seen him a few times around the office and had heard from others that the yakuza boss is a masochist. Acting as his bodyguard, he shares his observations on others with him. Doumeki comes to admit to Yashiro that since the first day he laid eyes on him, he had immediately thought he was beautiful. Doumeki is incredibly obedient to Yashiro, continuously following him around and protecting him. Yashiro had made Doumeki the only exception, as he'd often times give Doumeki blow jobs and once made him role play as a police. The reason for it was because Doumeki was impotent, making it seem secure or safe for Yashiro to sexually interact with Doumeki. This later changes when Doumeki begins to develop feelings for his boss. At first, when he saw the boss having sex with other Yakuzas, he did not care but it soon bothered him. He was deeply devoted to and cared for the boss, even going as far as cutting off his pinky after he failed to protect Yashiro, resulting in him being deeply wounded. They make love once, exchanging words of the past and finally opening up to each other. Afterwards, Yashiro began to avoid Doumeki, scared of what might happen. They have an incredibly wounded and tragic yet beautiful relationship.

### Yūsuke Nanahara

This member of the yakuza is aware of his background, and introduces him to Yashiro. He makes him bow before him. He is also a yakuza under Yashiro and often times counsels and nags Doumeki for his ignorance and inexperience to the job.
