==Personality== While Zenkichi's appearance and demeanor suggests he is untrustworthy, he is actually deceptively intelligent and easygoing, and doesn't conceal any hidden motives. However, Zenkichi also has a comical side to him, having a tendency to panic or overreact when he's caught off guard that usually involves him speaking while shouting in dismay, most prominently seen in Sendai when he scared a child while trying to help him find his mother because he was screaming at his fellow backup officers when they turn him down. He has some self-worth issues, caused by the death of his wife and his daughter's resulting disdain towards him. Forced to set aside both justice for his wife and his values for his daughter's safety (due to the culprit's connections), Zenkichi subsequently buried himself in his work and moved with Akane to Kyoto in order to be closer to his wife's parents. Upon encountering his daughter [[Akane Hasegawa|Akane's]] Shadow within the [[Jail]] (who was by the time heavily brainwashed and not acting like herself), and realizing the depths of her rage stemming from his failure to uphold justice and avenge the victims, he realizes his own hypocrisy in letting the culprit go unpunished for his own convenience. However, upon hearing his Shadow's voice, coupled with the Phantom Thieves' encouragement to stand up for his family, he finally makes a stand to fight by his own code of justice, triggering his awakening as Wolf. He is even capable of convincing his superior, [[Miyako Kaburagi]], to turn on the corrupt and now-powerless Owada, and personally spearheading the punishment of the head culprit, [[Akira Konoe]], who manipulated his daughter in a delusional conquest to wipe out the world's crime. As a Phantom Thief, akin to his codename, he fights Shadows mercilessly like a rampaging wolf, considering it's not bad to go wild once in a while. Even the Phantom Thieves were surprised by his personality change in his first awakening and battle. Despite being less agile than the other Thieves due to his age, he's capable of quickly recovering his stamina, proven by his recovery speed in between after his first battle and before their mission to save Akane within the same day. True to his assigned [[Apostle Arcana|Apostle]] Arcana, he is the oldest Phantom Thief, and takes his role as the adviser and father figure of the team seriously, despite being the newest member. He is shown to be wise and logical during discussions and strategies, as well towards the targets' shadows when convincing them to change their ways. Unlike the rest of the Thieves, Zenkichi does not let knowledge of the Monarch's trauma give him pause, recognizing that their past does not excuse their current misdeeds.
