One of the two main protagonists of Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai. As a bodyguard, his job is to protect Yashiro, the young yakuza leader of Shinseikai.  He has a tall and built appearance, with short brown hair and dark-colored eyes. He rarely shows any expressions in the manga, and is unsure about his own emotions. After certain incident happened to him in the past, he lost all sexual desire and has been impotent ever since.  Despite his indifferent attitude towards anything else, he's very devoted to Yashiro and is able to put up with his abusive personality (and absurd requests). As his personal bodyguard, he usually accompanies Yashiro on daily basis, serving as both his attendant and caretaker.   ~!He was a policeman before he went to jail for almost killing his own father in a tragic incident involving his younger step-sister. He was released on parole, then unknowingly applied to a yakuza company (which he thought was a normal financing company). Later he learned the truth, but decided not to quit after he saw Yashiro. He thought that if a beautiful person like Yashiro exists in the yakuza world, maybe it isn't so bad after all.!~

Yashiro is the young leader of Shinseikai and the president of the Shinseikai Enterprise, but like so many powerful men, he leads a double life as a deviant and a masochist. Chikara Doumeki comes to work as a bodyguard for him and, although Yashiro had decided that he would never lay a hand on his own men, he finds there's something about Doumeki that he can't resist. Yashiro makes advances toward Doumeki, but Doumeki has mysterious reasons for denying. Yashiro, who abuses his power just to abuse himself, and Doumeki, who faithfully obeys his every command, begin the tumultuous affair of two men with songs in their hearts and no wings to fly.

Note: Volume 1 includes the one-shots "Don't Stay Gold" and "Tadayoedo Shizumazu, Saredo Naki mo Sezu" (Though They Drift, They Do Not Sink, But Nor Do They Sing).

Yakuza bosses are supposed to be tough, ruthless, and treat their men like cogs in a callous criminal machine. When former cop and ex-con Chikara Doumeki accepts his latest bodyguard assignment, however, he realizes that there’s something different about his new boss, Yashiro. Because while Yashiro may seem as emotionally distant as his counterparts, he’s also a closet masochist who enjoys receiving pain as much as his job involves bringing it. 
 
Yashiro’s feelings for a least a few of his men also extends far beyond what’s normally extended to other members of the same crime family… a group that now includes Chikara. Of course, Chikara’s got his own issues, and nobody can beat an ex-cop when it comes to putting the lockdown on a relationship.
