Get to know Hatter!

However, running the Beach made Hatter obsessed with the idea of sacrificing everything to obtain all the cards and leaving the Borderlands, so he became egocentric, manipulative and cruel. While sharing his life story with Arisu, he seems to be a lot more heartbroken over his host club dreams getting crushed than one of his subordinates dying. He even goes as far as to call that person's death "a necessary evil" for him to mature, demonstrating complete disregard for human life. He insists that all Beach members must dedicate their lives to his cause, making him the only hero to succeed in leaving the Borderlands.

Additionally, Hatter is shown to enjoy drinking with the company of women.

History

Before Takeru arrived in the Borderlands, he ran a famous host club in Kabukichō called "Beach", which, according to him, was advertised all over Tokyo on cars with loudspeakers. He desperately strived to be the best in Kabukichō, and his subordinates looked up to him, as he claimed to be ready to do anything to reach his goals. He had a mindset that if you are looked down on by a customer, it is over, and that no matter how much you are made to drink, "you must never lose your human pride". This mindset was then instilled into his subordinates, however, it pushed one of them over the edge and caused him to hang himself in his room. The incident resulted in everyone else leaving Takeru, and "Beach" going out of business. After the club went bankrupt, Takeru took over the family's hat shop to fulfil his father's dying wish.
