Katai Tayama works as an information broker for the Armed Detective Agency, though he used to be an active member before transitioning to his current role. He's known Doppo Kunikida for about a decade.
He's basically a homebody—genuinely prefers being wrapped up in his futon to pretty much anything else, and he's not shy about it. Hot springs and youkan are his idea of luxury. He's also got a specific type: black-haired girls, which fans often note whenever Nadeshiko Gin Akutagawa comes up. Socializing drains him, and he can't stand anything twisted or convoluted.
His ability, called Futon, is genuinely useful for his work. He can remotely control electronics within his line of sight without actually touching them, and his brain processes information at roughly dozens of times the speed of an average person. Basically made for digging up information while staying exactly where he wants to be.
