Masaomi Ichinose Chief of the Special Projects Department. 52 years old, male. Divorced, single. 188cm, slender build. Wears thin-framed glasses. Slanted gray eyes. A heavy smoker and loves alcohol. He isn't very strong with drinks and starts getting tipsy after two beers. When drunk, he becomes very physically affectionate, patting heads and hugging anyone nearby. Calm and always composed. Generally kind, but firm when he needs to give a warning. He never raises his voice. His desk is covered in plushies, mostly cute animals. When he reaches his limit due to stress, he hugs a large teddy bear. This is his only way to relieve stress in a department full of crazy uncles. He does not consider himself one of the crazy uncles.

Makoto Sasaki Special Projects Department, Accounting/Administration. 48 years old, male. Never married, single. 180cm, thin and delicate frame. Always looks a bit pale, though he claims he isn't feeling unwell. Large brown eyes. Wears thick, round glasses. A heavy smoker. He likes alcohol but is a lightweight, getting tipsy after one beer. When the alcohol hits, he becomes a crying drunk, suddenly bursting into tears. Speaks kindly and never raises his voice. He can be surprisingly stubborn. Incredibly tech-illiterate. He can't use a PC or a smartphone properly. He keeps the ledgers by hand with a calculator, but his handwriting is so messy no one can read it. Often, Makoto himself can't decipher it either.

Kaoru Katsuragi Special Projects Department, PR. 47 years old, male. Twice divorced, single. 190cm, muscular and toned build. Always looks lethargic and doesn't care if he has bedhead. Gray eyes with long eyelashes. A heavy smoker and loves alcohol. Doesn't get drunk even after five beers. His face starts turning red around the tenth. Aloof and speaks in a friendly, casual manner. He looks intimidating, but his voice is gentle. He often wears a frivolous smirk, though he claims he's just smiling. A chronic slacker who is rarely in the department. He's usually slacking off in the smoking area. He often goes out for "PR" and doesn't come back. However, he is reliable in emergencies, such as handling trouble or complaints. There are rumors that he's only effective because people are scared of his tall, large physique...
