{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient from the world of Wa no Kuni and one of the Hakkenshi, bearing the orb of Courtesy. Masanori is constantly thinking about the decorum that divides man and beast. As such, he is a diligent person who focuses on history, literature, and psychology in his attempts to learn about it. It's said that those who come in contact with him have their perspectives up to that point jolted in an instant. In some neighborhoods, he gets tremendous support as a mentalist. He is also second to none when it comes to tracing the thoughts of victims and assailants of crime scenes. Many in the police force believe it's as if he were possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masanori himself would say it's just insufficient to the literary talent he desires. Masanori may be born a dogman, but he was raised and abused by a monster cat. Due to this he has a bit of an identity crisis and spends every day affirming that he is a dog. Today is another day that he spends looking for a certain something that will not change even if the values of the world suddenly flip around.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Masanori possesses a short sword Sacred Artifact about 29 cm in length and equipped with a scabbard made out of silvervine. It has the power to summon the memories of dead beasts and possess others with them. In battle, it summons the spirits of the cat monster who raised him, then sets them after his opponents to possess them. Through this method, Masanori can shake the foundations of his opponents' viewpoints and destroy his enemies from within. In the game being played here in Tokyo, Masanori is affiliated with the Invaders. This same guild is also filled with many of the leading stars, influencers, and popular figures from across the 24 worlds. This includes its leaders whose influence is so great that their speeches can spread through the city in an instant. The ones who can rival them in terms of dissemination speed amounts to the Creators who gather in Akihabara, though their methods differ. Masanori deals in the domain of Shadows, which is to say he is a necromancer who manipulates the dead. As such, he is extremely poor at dealing with silver bullets as they are weapons specialized against them.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|If you were to ask Masanori about flowers, then he would be the sort of person who would think about the birthmark on his left breast and the pain of his past. Whenever Valentine's rolls around, Inumura Daikaku Masanori thinks back on the person who gave his foolish self every courtesy in the world and sworn to love him forever. He wanted to know their thoughts and thought patterns, so he buried himself in literary and psychological research. On the way to becoming Tokyo's most famous mentalist, he regretted that he couldn't even understand the heart of the person closest to him, so he's hesitant about deepening his relationship with a specific someone in this new territory. That being said as someone who knows his way around decorum, Masanori is sure to be the perfect escort for his Valentine's date. But if he were to ever say "I fell in love with you," his heartfelt emotions would be just like luxury chocolates. May those sweet and bitter feelings reach you and them.}}

* Apart from {{Transient icon|Tadatomo}} and {{Transient icon|Moritaka}}, who are affiliated with the [[Agents]] and the [[Summoners]] respectively, the other Hakkenshi are split evenly with the three big guilds in Tokyo. He and a currently unknown Hakkenshi are affiliated with the [[Invaders]] with {{Transient icon|Tanetomo}} and {{Transient icon|Yasuyori}} being affiliated with the [[Warmongers]]. The status of the Hakkenshi in the [[Rule Makers]] are still unknown.
** He grew up being abused by a monster cat that had killed his father and took his place.
* Masanori's sword, closer to a dagger, is called the "Matatabimaru" (木天蓼丸). It was thought to be cursed due to having been buried and dug up during the construction of a castle. It is named so due to its scabbard and handle being made of [[Wikipedia:Actinidia_polygama|silvervine]] or matatabi; a cat attractant that functions similar, if not stronger, than [[Wikipedia:Catnip|catnip]]. The sword belonged to Masanori's adoptive father.

* The subtitle of Masanori's CS is based on an expression that refers to changing your attitudes and beliefs at the drop of a hat and holding no convictions, a contrast to his possession abilities and his desire for steadfast beliefs.
* In one of Masanori's lines, he insists that he is not a cat and uses the first person pronoun 'wagahai.' This appears to be a reference to a Japanese book by Natsume Souseki titled "I Am a Cat."
