Chūya Nakahara

Chuya Nakahara (中原 中也,) is a member of the Port Mafia.

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.

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 of him raised by the latter during his childhood.
