Osamu Dazai (太宰治, , Dazai Osamu?) is a member of the Armed Detective Company and was a former Executive of the city's worst underworld organization, the Port Mafia. Dazai appears to be part of the Mafia prior to the story, and he was once one of the five great Mafia Executives. He was the youngest person to become an executive in history, and a living legend within the mafia as well. In the years he was an executive, roughly half of the mafia's overall profits could be solely attributed to him, to the extent that Ougai Mori mentioned that "Given another four or five years, I wouldn't be surprised if Dazai killed me and took over my position." He was also a specialist at torturing people for information claiming to Kouyou Ozaki that, "There hasn't been a single prisoner, who hasn't spilled everything under my interrogation." He even gave Akutagawaspartan training in using his ability. The trigger for Dazai leaving the mafia was his old friend Oda Sakunosuke, a low-ranked mafia member who was killed in the conflict between Port Mafia and Mimic orchestrated by Ougai Mori to obtain an official license from the government expressing silent consent of Port Mafia's existence and its activities as an organization. Already distraught from the knowledge that Ougai intentionally drove Oda Sakunosuke into a suicidal attack against the enemy commander, Dazai took Oda's last words to heart - "I know it makes no difference to you, but please become a good human being. Save the weak, protect the orphaned. I suppose you don't care for either justice or evil...but striving to be a better person is a wonderful thing" - and decided to leave the mafia. It is stated by Akutagawa that, during a mission, he suddenly aborted it and supposedly, defected from The Mafia. Dazai later tracked down a man named Taneda, who was the acting commander for the Japanese ministry's supernatural division, and requested to work in a place where he can help people. Taneda recommended the Armed Detective Company to Dazai, on the condition that he'll need at least two years to cleanse his past. Later, it was his friend, Ango Sakaguchi who assisted him with that. Furthermore, it is unknown what he was doing during that time, but it is mentioned by Dazai himself that before meeting the Armed Detective Company, he was an unemployed and unmotivated drunk in a bar that he used to frequent
