Until then, the man informed Akutagawa that he would be holding on to Gin Akutagawa wept and helplessly pleaded him not to take his sister, albeit to no avail. On the brink of losing consciousness, Akutagawa surmised that he would get killed by the man, but the latter instead brushed past him and simply asked to find him again once he figured out what made him weak. The man then kicked him in the stomach, afterwards remarking that Akutagawa was 'weak'. Akutagawa then lashed out on the man with RashЕЌmon but failed, much to his surprise. Akutagawa refuted him, during which the man displayed knowledge about Akutagawa having a sister, much to his rage. However, the man changed his mind after seeing that Akutagawa's natural instinct lay in mindlessly hurting others. Soon after, Akutagawa encountered a man in black seated on a tree stump, who originally intended to take him in as a right-hand man. When he reached the place where he expected the trade to occur, he feigned getting attacked and sought out the outlaws' attention as a trap once they were lured in with his act, he killed each of them using RashЕЌmon. The men knew about this and sought out the children, beating everyone but Gin and Akutagawa, who managed to escape, to death.ДЇollowing through a promise made with his companions, Akutagawa went to the place where the transaction was said to take place in order to exact revenge on the men who killed his companions.

One of the other children once happened to overhear a conversation regarding the date and time of an illegal trade deal of pirates newly affiliated with the Port Mafia. This earned him the moniker of the Silent Mad Dog ( еђ ( гЃЇ )гЃ€гЃ¬ з‹‚зЉ¬ ( гЃЌг‚‡гЃ†гЃ‘г‚“ ),, Haenu KyЕЌken ?), resulting him to be shunned and feared for his notoriety throughout Yokohama's underworld. Gifted with the ability to manipulate his clothing, Akutagawa killed all those who threatened their turf, which he performed without any emotion. In accomplishing Kenji Miyazawa's condition of planting rice, Akutagawa initially wore a farming attire consisting of a white T-shirt, dark overalls tucked in calf-length rice-planting boots, and a straw hat given to him by Kenji.ДЄkutagawa and his younger sister, Gin Akutagawa, were orphans and used to live in the slums along with about eight other children. When he used to live in the slums, Akutagawa wore dirty and ragged clothes, comprising an oversized tattered light-colored button-down shirt, trousers, and sneakers. In addition, he sports a pair of dark calf-length pinstripe trousers, dark mauve socks that reach beneath his pants, and black loafers. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt accessorized with nearly obscured gray suspenders and a white necktie. He dons a fraying gray overcoat which he stole from one of the outlaws he killed before being taken into the Agency, which he has worn since so he would not forget his desire for revenge. His eyes are sharp, somewhat baggy, and a dark empty grey. He has short, choppy black hair with side bangs that reach his chin and turn white at the tips. Akutagawa has a slim build and very pale skin.
