Appearance
The letters of his name are tattooed in red and blue around his eyes, and his short, tufty hair is a pale purple. A purple cape drapes over his clothing.

The anime recolors his hair orange with dark green markings and, unlike his lean manga build, draws him heavyset.
Personality
D.R. is a sly, dishonorable swindler who schemes with his partner to pin their crimes on an innocent samurai while they raid a town. When death closes in, his cowardice surfaces, and he tries to bargain by claiming he alone can call off the looming danger.
