For anyone seeing this who doesn't know about Dan Kazuo and how he ties in with BSD-ified authors, here's a tiny bit about him:
Dan Kazuo was close with IRL Dazai Osamu
He‚ Dazai‚ Nakahara Chūya‚ and a few other writers started a magazine together (it only lasted one issue)
Dan and Dazai nearly did a double suicide once
You may have heard about the drunken tirade where Nakahara compared Dazai to a mackerel. That account is courtesy of Dan. He took Dazai's side and Kusano Shinpei took Nakahara's side in the following brawl. He and Nakahara also allegedly went to a brothel together
Sakaguchi Ango and his wife Michiyo were staying at Dan's house when Sakaguchi made her order 100 dishes of curry rice
Dan's works include a posthumous biography of Dazai, novels, short stories (you can read the one where Don Quixote and Sancho Panza visit Japan on bsd-bibliophile), poetry, and cookbooks

this isn't salmon it's just raw carp. marucho isn't eating that.
idol dan kazuo headcanons based on my tweet below as someone who only know a few songs about k-pop culture
dan kazuo, the main rapper and the lead dancer (i think he's like the second dancer or so, not main dancer though) of a japan based boy group named "buraiha"
debut era look: based on his punk outfit in the game, shorter at belly side, black jean jacket, a black piercing on both ears, darker hair
current era look: based on his awakened outfit in game. bigger fishnets on his upper piece of clothing. his main color turned to green than black, large leather jacket, multiple piercings on both ears, stopped dying his hair darker and let it in its own color
was born in japan and met his groumates in there from the times they shared the same community's membership
he speaks english better than his mates and most of idols at his gen because he spend a part of his life in the usa but he won't tell when
he also learnt korean faster than his mates, giving his natural talent at linguistic
he sings in korean, japanese and english but only raps in japanese since he thinks he wouldn't have the fear of messing up since it's his native language
the fav of girls and gays ofc
he's an amazing rapper but a hightly underrated songwriter. his writing skills are underestimated by eyes, even while one of the group's popular song was written by him, unless it's one of his solo songs he makes once in a blue moon
yet, his writing skills at literature shows itself with short stories and cooking books. he has one cooking book in progress and two published in the current era
he once joined the masterchef korea as a honorable judge. he also met gordon ramsey and shared an episode in his programme
his public diet as an idol and a chef is plant based and green heavily but he devours meat and carbs in secret
dazai is his biggest inspiration in his art. when its asked for whom his songs are written, he'll say to an incredible icon who gave him the blessing of being lifetime friends (if dazai's an icon) or to an incredible human being in his private life (if dazai's not an icon) and will not give any information unless dazai wants him to give
he was the idol who didn't gain the fans' love at first by his debut looks. wiith the times the fans saw how wonderful he was, he became the most beloved in short time
he's the first in his group at tv debut but the only member who didn't appear in a series or a movie
his favorite city in the world is tokyo and his favorite area to tour is asia
he's also the most collabed member in his group, thanks to the musicians he met during his american life
I love the original Bakugan Battle Brawlers show cause the tiny, shy, sweet girl who doesn't like fighting is best friends with a 25ft+ cyborg hydra who embodies the natural element of darkness and loves violence but they make it work cause they are BFFs.
and i gotta say, the fandom's perception of the buraiha trio just sucks so much because it puts ango (and odasaku) in a "parentally caring" position over dazai instead of "concerned friend". while in canon, look at ango's expression lol. bro is annoyed and tired and resigned and kinda resentful about it from the bottom of his heart already, and they haven't even started talking. if you don't believe me, the dialogue right after this goes like "dazai-kun, you owe me actually" lmao. stfu ango i'll break your glasses (affectionate).
