Arata Usuba (薄刃 新, Usuba Arata?), who publicly goes by the name Arata Tsuruki (鶴木 新, Tsuruki Arata?), is the heir of the Usuba family and the cousin of Miyo Saimori. He works for Tsuruki Trading as a negotiator.
Appearance[]
Arata is a handsome young man. He is of average height and his figure is slender and lean.[1] He has dark green eyes,[2] and mildly wavy chestnut-colored hair that is arranged neatly.
Personality[]
Despite his kindhearted appearance, Arata is actually cold and impersonal[3] inside with self-admitted feelings of apathy.[4] This is evident when he doesn't care much about what sort of person his assigned subject of protection is. To him what was important is the fact that she possessed the Gift, which holds a great value to the Usuba family. That and the duty given to him and his family.[4]

Arata as a child
Arata is born as the only son of the current acting head of the Usuba family[3] and the successor of the family.[5] Because his father is Giftless, Arata went to live in the Usuba residence with his paternal grandfather Yoshirou from a young age in order to learn how to use his Gift. Shortly after his arrival at the house, the family started to decline.
The company has recovered since and he works for the firm as a senior negotiator.[3] Occasionally, he would also take on additional negotiating jobs when asked by acquaintances. His role is to speak on behalf of the party he represents and gets across what they have a hard time saying themselves. His work often takes him to various places around the world.
Plot[]
Volume 2[]
On a hot summer day, Arata spots a woman holding a parasol with an extremely pale face in the buzzing streets of the Imperial Capital and immediately knows it's Miyo. He doesn't have any particular business with her this instant, but he simply wants to get a glimpse of the girl he heard so much about. Suddenly, the woman loses balance as she walks over to his direction and Arata half-heartedly extends his arms to catch her. Seeing how frail she is, he pities her and also feels satisfied that he would be protecting this woman going forward.[4]
Some time later, he meets with the Emperor at the Imperial Palace to request his permission regarding an incident. Knowing that preparations would soon be complete, the Emperor authorizes him his actions.[4]
After the Burial Grounds has been unsealed, Arata heads to the Special Anti-Grotesquerie Unit to meet with the commander of the unit, Kiyoka Kudou, as a negotiator for the Ministry of the Imperial Household. He informs Kiyoka Kudou that the Ministry is still investigating the case but hasn't found a culprit yet. The Ministry's specialists have recovered 70% of the wandering spirits, but are short-handed and therefore are asking the unit for support in destroying the rest of the Grotesqueries. He hands Kiyoka the decree of the emperor, which is also signed by Major General Masashi Ookaito.[6]

By creating and manipulating illusions. He is able to cause people to be unable to trust their own eyes anymore. He can create multiple phantoms of himself, even numbering over twenty in total, that all move independently, as well as clones of other people.[3] This ability is so powerful that he is able to defeat Kiyoka Kudou with it in a duel,[3] someone who is hailed as the best Gift-user of his generation.[7]
