Natsume Masanosuke

"'Someone very important to me.'"

Natsume Masanosuke (雅之助夏, Masanosuke Natsume) is a protagonist in A Bizarre Adventure and a former member of the Yakuza. He is the newest member of the Crystal Guardians.

Appearance
Natsume is a young boy with dark red hair, and is usually seen wearing the collar which was given by Charlotte. A strand of hair is coloured black from his head which sometimes sticks out vertically. He wears normal clothing, such as a shirt accompanied with a jacket. Apparently he has 8 different jackets which are also given by Charlotte, all same in appearance but possesses two for each season.

From the first half of the Masquerade Ball Arc onwards, he dons a blue military uniform.

Former Personality
Natsume is nice, considerate, shy, and friendly towards others. He gets noticeably dispirited when talking about his past, gets lonely easily, and though he seems to have a hard time being honest, at times he is able to genuinely express happiness and kindness. He appears to care for his collar very much.

During the Masquerade Ball Arc, his personality drastically changed (most likely due to Netsu's death), and has become split to 4 parts. Only 3 are known. The only thing all these personalities have in common is that they have an interest in knives.

Cheerful
Natsume becomes more cheerful, childish, and naive, to which he often relies on others to help him. Due to his overly cheerful and optimistic attitude, he developed a very carefree and innocent personality and can often easily accept other people's faults. But he has created his own delusions; that everyone in the Crystal Guardians are still alive and well. In a conversation between him and Kizu, when questioned about his past, Natsume states that he doesn't remember.

"True"
Natsume becomes more calm. He uses a different dialect, always thinking before acting, and spouts words which are not regularly used. He has a hard time trusting others, friend or not. He thinks two steps ahead, creating these strategies, which could be explained in a sentence or two, but he would extend it to such until it is too late.

Matured
This personality makes little to no appearances from after the failed retrieval of Pulkheria Alexandrovna Raskolnikova. Natsume shows remarkable analytical and tactical skills, both in and outside of battle. Natsume becomes unnervingly stoic and calm, never losing his composure and usually wearing a blank expression on his face, no matter how dire the situation may be. If he wished so, he would freely abuse another person's trust.

History
Before he was old enough to realise his surroundings, he was sold to a slave dealer and managed to end up in the Yakuza. He was forced to wear a collar as Charlotte's slave.

Stand
66 Minutes is Natsume's Stand. It takes the form of a camera. If it were to be destroyed, Natsume can use a different camera. (As long as it's a camera, he can activate his Stand)

Time Manipulation: 66 Minutes primary ability is to rewind anyone back in time for 66 minutes.

Charlotte Elizabeth Benedict
Natsume appears to hold Charlotte dearly, admiring her.
