Personality[]
Heita appears to be suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formed from his family being eaten by a bear and his immense fear of Wen Kamuys. After the horrific incident both the bear and his family members haunt him constantly in the form of hallucinations. His personality switches out with one of his dead family members in a matter of minutes, acting out multiple scenarios as someone else. When he switches with the Wen Kamuy he hallucinates that he's being eaten and becomes 'possessed'. Once possessed he can't stop his murderous rampage until he's killed someone and once he did kill, he hallucinates that his body explodes and chunks of his flesh fly off into the mountain and then he finally switches back into his main personality so the cycle of self punishment continued.
The main personality, Heita, is usually seen to be kind and helpful; He explains to Sugimoto and Shiraishi the multiple tools used in gold panning and the certain places in a stream where it would be easier to find gold. Heita also has a great fear of bears due to the Ainu stories about Wen Kamuys he heard about when he was 12 years old. Another prominent personality is his brother's wife, Noriko, she's usually depicted as a seductive woman and is seen revealing herself to Vasily so she could be drawn.

Trivia[]
- Heita likes crayfish and disliked crow meat.[4]
- He is likely based on Norse berserkers, warriors who wore bear pelts and used hallucinogenic drugs to enter a trance-like state, as well as the Sankebetsu brown bear attacks, in which a single brown bear killed 9 people in Hokkaido.
