## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic vertical portrait of a gritty Japanese noir detective on a rain-slick rooftop in Tokyo at sunset. The subject is {character_description}, standing three-quarter frontal and looking slightly down at the viewer with a tough, brooding attitude. He wears {outfit}; one hand is in his pocket and the other holds a cigarette near his thigh. The environment is a dense urban Tokyo skyline with glowing windows, neon signs, and industrial rooftop details, all wet from rain with strong reflections on the floor. Include exactly 3 prominent signs: a large weathered rooftop billboard on the right reading 「東京探偵 事務所」, a vertical red neon hotel sign on the left reading 「ホテル ニュー東京」, and a smaller red sign in the mid-background reading 「ポンコ」. Use {time_and_sky} as the main backlight, creating rim light around the character and high-contrast shadows on his face and suit. Style should be ultra-realistic cinematic photography, moody neo-noir crime drama, 35mm film look, shallow depth of field, wet textures, volumetric haze, rich amber highlights and deep black shadows, high detail skin texture, realistic fabric folds, no cartoon styling, no extra characters, no watermark.
```
