During his time as a Mafia executive, Dazai held a record of 138 counts of conspiracy to murder, 312 counts of extortion, and 625 counts of assorted fraud, among other crimes. After he defected from the Mafia and went underground. Dazai's intelligence is his primary source of expertise as a Mafia executive in the past and as a detective at present. Ogai Mori, a proficient tactician himself, widely trusted and relied on Dazai's intelligence, whom he claimed to be his most worthy right-hand man should he have stayed in the Mafia. Dazai is also recognized as one of the Agency's sharpest detectives; Dazai is an adept persuader, able to negotiate with others. Dazai was 14 when Mori took him to be raised as his right arm.

Akiko Yosano is a member and personal physician of the Armed Detective Agency. Her ability is a rare healing ability, Thou Shalt Not Die, which allows her to heal all external wounds as long as they are fatal or the person must be "half-dead". Due to this, her ability is inconvenient for healing minimal wounds since she needs to fatally injure that person first. Dazai views Yosano as a vital asset to ensure their survival. Atsushi Nakajima is a member of the Armed Detective Agency who possesses the ability Beast Beneath the Moonlight. Dazai serves as a mentor figure towards Atsushi. Despite Atsushi being frequently caught up in Dazai's eccentric shenanigans, Dazai would nonetheless offer some pieces of advice towards the rookie detective regarding various fields. Furthermore, Dazai's theatrics do not take away his serious persona towards Atsushi and more often than not shows genuine care and attention towards the youngster. In some instances, Dazai would snap Atsushi out of wallowing in self-pity, even to the point of slapping him and asking him not to pity himself. Throughout most of their endeavors, Dazai would pair Atsushi with Akutagawa, thinking that they could be a new incarnation of Yokohama's Twin Dark, albeit unbeknownst to both Atsushi and Akutagawa. Doppo Kunikida is a member of the Armed Detective Agency. He owns the ability named The Matchless Poet. Kunikida is Dazai's partner in the Agency, with whom he shares opposite traits. Ever since their first meeting, Dazai frequently likes to tease and make Kunikida angry to the point of ruining his ideal schedule for a day, even to the point of desperately finding ways to disrupt his schedule. Despite their boisterous partnership, Dazai and Kunikida grew to share a mutual trust towards each other, quite apparent during cases in the field. Kyoka Izumi is the newest member of the Armed Detective Agency after defecting from the Port Mafia who has the ability Demon Snow. Ranpo Edogawa is a member of the Armed Detective Agency. Despite not being an ability user, he is known as one of the best detectives highly sought by the police, renowned by his comrades, himself, and others as the greatest detective in the world. Hailed as the Agency's sharpest detectives, Dazai and Ranpo are the organization's intellectual group. Sakunosuke Oda was a member of the Port Mafia. His ability name was Flawless. Also known as Odasaku. While Dazai was an executive of the Port Mafia, the lowest-ranking member Oda was his best friend and, as Dazai stated, the only one who could come close to understanding him. Along with Ango Sakaguchi, he and Oda were drinking buddies. Dazai opened up to Oda that he joined the Mafia in his quest to find a reason to live. He thought that being close to death and violence would make him witness the rawness and inner nature of humankind firsthand. When Oda laid dying, he advised Dazai to turn to the side that saves people and become a good man who saves the weak and protects orphans, knowing that good and evil mean little to him. In this way, Oda believed that it would make Dazai a bit better, a final thought he imparted to Dazai as his friend. As a result, Oda became the reason Dazai left the Port Mafia. Across various times, Dazai would continually recall Oda in his thoughts and contemplations. He would frequent Bar Lupin and reminisce past conversations with Oda by himself, as well as occasionally visit Oda's grave. Chuuya is a member of the Port Mafia as well as Dazai's former partner in Twin Dark. He is one of the five Executives in the Port Mafia. He has the Ability named Upon the Tainted Sorrow. Dazai calls him: Pipsqueak in black, Shorty mafioso, Hat rack, Twin Dark sidekick and partner. Dazai and Chuuya were former partners when Dazai was still part of the Port Mafia, forming the team Twin Dark. They were well known as Yokohama's vicious duo and 'the criminal world's worst enemy' both inside and out of the Mafia, though they both expressed distaste for being forced to work together under Mori's orders. Even though the pair often express their mutual hatred and contempt for each other, they have absolute trust in one another, Chuuya using Corruption on multiple occasions and placing his life on the line believing in Dazai's abilities. Having known each other for so long, they can even predict the other's thinking, logic, and moves, Dazai even stating that he can predict all of Chuuya's attacks, kicks, and punches. Ryunosuke Akutagawa is a member of the Port Mafia and has the ability Rashōmon. Dazai was the one who brought Akutagawa into the mafia. He brutally trained him and wanted to make him the strongest weapon in the mafia. But still, Dazai was disappointed and after Dazai left the mafia, Akutagawa tries to gain recognition from Dazai as his mentor. Ogai Mori has the ability named Vita Sexualis. Mori was the one who brought Dazai into the mafia and raised him. In the end, upon Oda's death, Dazai chose to defect from the Mafia. Mori, in return, left his executive spot open and claimed how the Mafia would get boring without Dazai. Around or after this time, Dazai apparently burned the coat that Mori bought for him. Dazai exudes an aloof and cold demeanor towards Mori despite the latter's usual enthusiasm towards Dazai, thought not to the point of blankly rejecting or ignoring Mori.)
