Tadashi Hasegawa
CharacterTadashi Hasegawa once held the post of Japan's Minister of Finance and wielded outsized sway over the nation's politicians. His backing pushes through the contract with the Aging Devil, a decision that rebounds on him when he is hauled away to languish inside Aging's World.
Appearance
Among the assembled politicians he is plainly the oldest. A wheelchair carries him, and unlike his colleagues he has lost every hair on his head.
Personality
Despite his frail body, Hasegawa may be the single most ruthless and powerful voice in the room, outweighing even the prime minister. His word is what cleared the way for the pact with the Aging Devil, and he thinks nothing of menacing fellow officials or their loved ones to get his way. That icy composure shatters the instant his own life is on the line, reducing him to begging the Aging Devil for more years in exchange for all the good he swears he would do.
History
His career places him at the head of Japan's finance ministry. During the Aging Devil arc he joins a session of government officials weighing whether to wipe the Aging Devil out of existence and what that would mean for the public. The Devil treats him with open contempt, literally using him as a seat while he rhapsodizes about being so moved that he must survive longer to steer humanity down the proper path. In the end the Aging Devil's Victim drags him into Aging's World and abandons him there.
