Kaztano

''' Kazutano (カズターノ) is a character who is important to Togusa as he was the one who got him front row tickets to his favorite Idol, Ruri Hijiribe, which were quite hard to obtain. It is believed that Kazutano is an illegal immigrant of unknown origin. Although, with the Italian flag and accent, it is believed by the dubbers that he is from Italy (in a phrase he says "un poco" that means "a little" in Italian, but also in Spanish).

Characteristics
Physically speaking, Kazutano doesn't possess any unique traits and even seems to be a little overweight. He is a balding man, presumably in his late 30s to early 40s and is usually seen wearing a red shirt and a small necklace.

Personality wise, Kazutano is a bit eccentric but also very friendly and willing to help others as shown when he aided Anri in escaping from the yellow scarves despite not actually knowing her. He is also shown to be fairly crafty when the situation demands it such as when he manipulated his kidnappers into leaving clues about where they were going.

Dollars/ Mika Harima Arc
Kazutano was listening to music when some kidnappers came into his apartment. He makes a futile attempt to convince them that he is actually Japanese and then gets stuck trying to jump out of a window, making him easy prey for the kidnappers. As Kazutano flails around inside their van, one of the kidnappers, Kanazawa, tries drugging Kazutano with chloroform so he will shut up, but he kicks the bottle and it spills all over everyone in the vehicle. Seeing that the kidnappers are frustrated and dazed from the chloroform, Kazutano manages to convince the kidnappers to leave Kanazawa behind as punishment for dropping the bottle so easily. The kidnappers agree with Kazutano's suggestion and leave Kanazawa in the trash along with his cellphone. This act would allow Kyohei and his gang to locate and rescue Kazutano along with a little help from Celty. He is later shown drinking milk along with Kyohei and Saburo while Walker and Erika interrogate one of the kidnappers. Later, he and Hashim appear during the dollars meeting.

Yellow Scarves Arc
Kazutano and Hashim appear briefly to help Anri escape the yellow scarves. They let Anri go through a gate that Kazutano was hired to guard and locks it down which slows down Horada and his thugs

Trivia

 * In the light novels, Kazutano was saved by Celty in the beginning of the story and not Rio Kamichika. He was then set free while the kidnappers were dealt with by Kyohei and his group.
