Kasegi

Kasegi (commonly referred to as the Director) is a human con artist and criminal who specializes in scams involing extraspecie individuals. Recently he targeted Kimihito Kurusu and the Kurusu Household because of the large number of extraspecies living there.

Appearance
Kasegi is a short, stout man with short black hair and glasses.

Personality
At first, Kasegi appears to be a man with a curiosity (or fanaticism) of extraspecies of various kinds. He portrays himself as a man gathering information on extraspecies out of interest.

This façade is used to hide his true intentions of getting rich off of the popularity of extraspecies through various means. Truthfully, he doesn't care at all for extraspecies outside of the potential money he can make off of them.

He also is adept at convincing extraspecies as well as humans to give in to his demands. This may mean that other extraspecies may have fallen into his vicious schemes. An example is shown when he persuaded Mero, Miia and Papi to show him embarassing sides of themselves, especially after they are caught off guard by his absurd and ridiculous questions.

Skills and Traits

 * Black Market Activity: Kasegi collects biological products such as lamia skin, harpy eggs, and arachne silk from extraspecies with hopes of selling them for a high profit. He seems to know the street price of such items and usually has a buyer in mind.


 * Criminal Aptitude: As a con artist, Kagesi has multiple scams operating at the same time. His various crimes include but are not limited to: the illegal sale of extraspecies goods, trafficking of extraspecie individuals, fraud, illegal surveillance, and the production of sexual images under false pretenses. He also seems to be adept at avoiding law enforcement as Smith only recently began investigating him.

Possessions

 * Video Camera (destroyed)

Plot
When Papi announces she is about to lay an egg, Kasegi arrives with two associates at the Kurusu House. He claims he wants to document Papi's egg laying on video for informational purposes, but in reality plans to profit off of selling Papi's egg, as harpy eggs can sell for up to three million yen. He is also given Miia's old shed skin, which he also plans to sell.

His plans go south, however, as Suu, Centorea and Miia crash the filming. Kimihito also baits Kasegi by throwing "Papi's egg" towards the Kasegi, catching him off guard with a punch to the face. The egg turned out to be a chicken egg.

When Smith arrives to arrest his associates, Kasegi promptly disappears and flees back his own home, furious over his failed plans. After some harsh words thrown towards a certain arachne, she gets fed up with him and ties him up in her web.

However, despite being tied up, Kasegi manages to grab his cell phone and call the police, which results in M.O.N. being dispatched to his house. What became of him afterwards is unknown, though he was presumably arrested.

Trivia

 * In the manga Kagesi is shown working with two associates, while in the anime he works alone.
