HI HELLO, this is a random question but what does Daigo's living space looks like? Does he prefer a particular style of furniture? Particular colors? Is his home more maximalist and full of knick knacks or is it minimalist and relatively uncluttered?
Hello, friend ! I’ve touched on this briefly before in the form of a headcanon post talking about living with Daigo, but I happy to elaborate more on the physical characteristics of the spaces he occupies !
Discussing Daigo’s living space depends on the point of his life that you’re referring to. Kiwami 2 / punk / post - jail Daigo had next to no fondness for the cheap apartment he rented to get by. His quarters were primarily for recovering in after drinking himself sick or patching up wounds. He didn’t spend a lot of time there ; to call that home a glorified closet or self - made medical clinic wouldn’t be far - fetched. As a result, it was always a mess. His bed was a mattress on the floor, he threw clothes over doors, and any pieces of furniture he possessed were threadbare / lightly damaged leftovers that he got secondhand. The only well - stocked areas of the place were the cabinet he kept medical supplies in and the counter where his private stash of alcohol lived. There weren’t many personal effects, either ― the most Daigo - centric items were his collection of puffer and leather coats ; boots ; chains ; and other wardrobe odds and ends.
After Daigo became the Sixth Chairman and was encouraged to keep more lavish accommodations, he then started to pay attention to interior decorating. Daigo favored a clean home with an open floor plan. He had a place for everything. Dark woods and simple solid gray or white walls. Soft lighting, a good deal of ‘ smart ’ technology, and rooms set aside : always his bedroom, an office space ( later where he keeps Clan mementos post - dissolution ), and a home gym. His obvious indulgence was plush furniture, comfortable pillows, and large blankets.
Daigo’s living space in his later life was largely decorated with photographs. There were plenty of people that he had lost along the way that he didn’t want to forget, so he started to arrange images of the better days throughout his home. Most of them he has difficulty discussing with others, but they mean quite a bit to him personally.
The only real messes that Daigo allowed for in his private sanctum were those that came from something creative. Daigo needed little activities to keep his hands and mind busy ; he often did his best thinking while working on wooden puzzles, building LEGO sets, or otherwise engaging in some small engineering - based endeavor. So, while Daigo’s home was never particularly cluttered or full, it did have a lot of life to it. Simply put, it felt lived in.
The one category of décor that Daigo was adamantly opposed to was plant life. He never did have a ‘ green thumb ’ and dropped leaves / dying greenery in places he visited made him feel a bit of disgust.
Hopefully, this answers your questions ! Thank you for sending them !
