Oosaki is a detective working for the Shinkiba Detective Agency. He accepts his client's (Daiba Shizuma's) request to impersonate him and attend the commemoration of An Ooe's death in his place due to their striking physical resemblance. The exact reason behind this request is currently unknown; it could be Daiba did not wish to go to the commemoration, wanted Oosaki to investigate something in particular while he was there or he may have a completely different motive altogether. Oosaki has a quiet, serious nature and comes off as unfriendly as a result. Despite his stoicism, he is polite and speaks respectfully to others. He is level-headed and has a talent for finding people and reading others' faces due to his occupation. Oosaki is a person who "isn't afraid of anything" and will not hesitate to help others in need. He lives in Hiratsuka in Kanagawa Prefecture and rents the second floor of a house.In Cool-B volume 110, there are hints of him have a gruesome past through a CG preview. In the CG there appears to be an obscured figure of a child with burn scars on his arm, his back facing us. In front of him is a raging fire. The image's description states that it's an event from 10 years ago that is etched in Oosaki's mind. It goes on to say that the loneliness he experiences is not something resulting from his current circumstances (as in "loneliness is nothing new to him"). Perhaps he lost someone due to the fire in the past. Not even Shinagawa has information on his family history but Shinkiba seems to know something.Oosaki's clients initially seem uncomfortable around him due to his "unfriendly" appearance but he quickly gains their trust due to his high success rate. We're also shown two CGs that feature Oosaki's watercolor paintings. One is of Hachijoujima seen from Ooejima at Daiba's request. The other is of a wharf on the coast of Ooejima. ADELTA states Oosaki's painting style reflects his quiet "inner" self. The last note in this volume ponders what Oosaki's appeal is as a seme, as well as his most disappointing aspect. According to ADELTA, his appeal/charm are his hands and how keeping his hands clean means he's a high ranking seme/it puts him in a high position in seme knowledge (I do not how to translate this well but it's really funny). His disappointing trait is that he has no libido at all. He doesn't necessarily reject lust, but he doesn't place much value in it. If he has no reason to kiss someone, he won't do it. However, ADELTA wants people to enjoy the emotional changes he goes through and his "overwhelming" interactions with the love interests and other characters.Fun Facts:
- ADELTA assigned some characters their "heat resistance" on a scale of 0-5 (5 being the highest resistance and 0 being the weakest). Oosaki's resistance is 5, and says he suffers from hot weather like anyone else but endures it like a rock- His favorite Osechi (new year food) is Gobou (burdock root); "it needs to be chewed well; even though it's small it's still satisfying"- During the week, Oosaki likes to smoke one cigarette before going to bed and on his days off he smokes 10 (lol?). However, it's said that he's not dependent on them and can quit immediately if someone tells him to- Oosaki's impressions of the other attendees are as follows:
— Ariake → Relieved to be able to believe in him "unconditionally"
— Shinbashi → The personification of cunning evil
— Aomi → Is more level-headed than others
— Hinode → Has to protect his morals/ethics
— Shiodome → Has incoherent daydreams
— Takeshiba → Respects him for always trying to smile despite the situation
— Toyosu → Respect and consideration
— Shijoumae → "Tension" towards his status/position (?)
— Funeno → Someone who is abnormally fearful/confused
— Shinkiba → Feels gratitude towards him
— Shinagawa → Has high expectations for him to grow as a detective
— Daiba → Does not mix in his personal feelings with work but that is "doubtful"

Height: 165cm
Occupation: Mortician
First name: Unknown
Date of birth: Unknown
Blood type: Unknown
Laugh: "Ehehe"
Madness level: 5
Earthly desire: Disregard (Anapatrapya)
Hobbies/Specialties: Eating a lot/gluttony (more than 3 servings)
Characteristics: Tsurime/slanted eyes, wedding ring
Likes: Caramel, Shinsei brand cigarettes"....Pouring out unconditional love. Whether you find this to be creepy or not is up to you. Do you feel 'happy'?"The first attendee Oosaki meets who is described as a "homme fatale" (literally "male femme fatale" in the profile). Moreover, he is the first route by default before you can play any others. Ariake is a mortician who is "saintly" and loves to help people. Prior to traveling to Ooejima, he broke his right arm and is currently relying on the kindness of others to help him (saying "thank you" has become a habit of his). He maintains a calm exterior but is rather shy on the inside. Although, he tends to show his emotions easily on his face, his eyes "turning red" when he is happy or embarrassed. Oosaki saved him when he almost fell off the boat they were traveling on together to Ooejima and they have been cooperating since. Ariake places an enormous amount of trust in Oosaki as a result. He always tries to smile no matter how gruesome the situation may get "for his sake". Plays the role of "Watson" (assistant) in the game. Lives in a house in Shibuya, the funeral home he works at is located in Hatagaya.Ariake is an incredibly cooperative individual, but has been repeatedly betrayed by his friends in the past. It's implied you have the choice to betray him at some point. I think this plays into his "Game Theory" ("Tolerance/Forgiving Strategy" is what it translated to) but I'm not sure what it entails. I believe that, in the event that you choose to betray, you can't take it back or cancel it. But despite that, he may forgive you? (ADELTA please.....) With that being said, Ariake places a suspicious amount of trust in Oosaki almost immediately upon meeting him so this may be relevant to his game theory. Extra info provided in the booklet mentions there is a crematorium attached to the funeral home he works at. He was involved in the memorial service for An Ooe as well. It's established that he is already acquainted with Shijoumae and Takeshiba prior to the commemoration but there is not much info regarding what their connection to one another entails.There is a CG preview in issue 109 of Cool-B featuring Ariake. In it, he is looking upwards at Oosaki cautiously. The description says "at the end of a call with his boss (Shinkiba), he turns around and abruptly realizes Ariake is right behind him" implying he snuck up on Oosaki. Ariake asks "Who was that?", perhaps having listened in on the conversation and arousing his suspicion. "From that very first day Oosaki arrived on the island, on the night before the memorial service, he had begun to notice the abnormal atmosphere and behavior of the attendees."From this point I'm going to get into my theories a little. If it wasn't already obvious, there is something deeply wrong with Ariake (albeit with all the characters but he's in another league from my understanding). Many details lead me to believe heFun facts:
- Uses his "ehehe" laugh when he is being praised- His heat resistance is level 3 and he relaxes with iced coffee or ice cream- His favorite Osechi is Datemaki (sweet rolled omelette) but he would have to leave out the Kurikinton (sweet potato puree with candied chestnuts)** I had a bit of difficulty understanding parts of his profile, so forgive me if this whole thing read poorly... it will probably happen with everyone else.
