Personality
Chuuya is hot-headed, and can't stand out even a minute with Dazai by his side as both of them will always taunt each other to no end. He obviously knows Dazai very well believeing that he (Dazai) will not trick him. Nakahara hates Dazai for betraying the mafia and joined Armed Detective Agency. He is also very sharp at analyzing his battle against Dazai when he noticed that Osamu has blocked every attack he lands at his former partner. He is kind of gullible when Osamuis to put him in a dilemma as shown in chapter 10.

Ability
His ability, For The Tainted Sorrow (汚れつちまつた悲しみに,), revolves around gravity-manipulation, allowing him to manipulate and alter the gravity of anything he touches, keeping it that way until a certain period of time.
 * Corruption is the true form of Chuya's ability and is exceedingly dangerous. It is activated by chanting ' Oh, Grantors of Dark Disgrace. Do Not Wake Me Again '. This ability allows him to manipulate the gravitons in his surroundings. By increasing his own density, he is capable of crushing a tank with his bare hands. He is also able to shoot balls of compressed gravity that act as black holes that swallow anything. Without Dazai to cancel Corruption, his power will rage on until he dies.

Background
It is shown in chapter 31 that Chuuya is taken by Ozaki, so it is possible he was raised by the latter during his childhood.

it is unknown what his past is or how he is raised by the mafia. We don't know what kind of relationship he had with Osamu's time in the mafia in the past.

He and Dazai used to be partners during the later's days in the Mafia, and together were known as soukoku (double black).

Plot
He first appeared where Osamu Dazai is held with shackles around his arm, with two chains hanging separately up in the air. He sarcastically first said, "You are as wily as ever, Dazai!" He views Dazai's position as "What a glorious view! Even better than some costly famous painting!" Then Chuya likes Osamu's reaction, towards his entrance.

Nakahara Talks back, insulting the former a vagabond, questioning him of his suicide tedancies.
