Personality
Generally outspoken and good-natured, his sense of ethics is one of the few questionable things about him.

Appearance
Byakuyamaru is described as being young in appearance but dressed in the stereotypical manner of a wealthy person.

Synopsis
Byakuyamaru first encounters Celty Sturluson following his son, Yukihiko​ ​Natsugawara's, theft of a certain SD card containing erotic images. Celty attempts to call him out for committing multiple felonies, but he firmly​ ​asserts that​ ​there​ ​are​ ​certain​ ​things​ ​he​ ​would never​ ​do​ ​due​ ​to​ ​his​ ​pride​ ​in his​ ​business,​ ​claiming​ ​that​ ​his​ ​business​ ​was​ ​made​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​happiness​ ​to children​ ​and​ ​make​ ​their​ ​dreams​ ​come​ ​true.​

Although he appears to have enough pride as to not commit certain questionable acts, his morals are brought back into question once Celty discovers that his company has been engaging in human experimentation. The SD card Yukihiko had previously stolen was just a disguise for the actual contents.

Byakuyamaru does not attempt to lie to Celty about his company's role in the experiments, claiming that he was only trying to make any young child's dream of obtaining superpowers come true. Jami Natsugawara, one of his adopted children who comes through the experimentation unharmed, assures Celty that no harm is befalling the children and that they are not making weapons.
