A Great Detective of <Hawkeyes>. A genius of "Observation." He joined NEST while still in high school, six months after Daichi Tenmyo. He has mastered interpersonal combat; in a one-on-one unarmed fight, he has no equal within NEST. He is always aloof and rarely becomes emotional. Despite his cool demeanor, he possesses an irrationally strong sense of camaraderie and does not hesitate to sacrifice others for the sake of his comrades. On very rare occasions, he falls into an unexplained state of absence, during which he can only hear the voices of his two Recorders for at least a full day.

He can find left-behind fingerprints. It's not that he actually "sees" the fingerprints themselves. His true supernatural power is "Insight"—instantly forming hypotheses by synthesizing "various surrounding information" that even Jin himself cannot put into words. Eventually, Jin was nicknamed "Clairvoyance" with a mix of awe and respect.

A Recorder of <Hawkeyes>. A former parkour performer. He joined NEST at 15, the minimum age for entry. Apparently, he originally aspired to be a Great Detective. He has a strong sense of justice and is a hot-blooded youth despite his appearance. Though his speech and behavior are rough, he has a certain elegance in his bearing. He has never lost a game of tag since he was a child and was once called the "Hound." He hates it when people make fun of his name. He acknowledges and respects Jin, but he is by no means devoted to him; he is always looking for a chance to surpass him. He claims that's why he serves as Jin's Recorder, but...

He is an extreme short-sleeper and never sleeps in front of others. He isn't untalkative, but he doesn't talk about himself. He is a neat freak bordering on mysophobia, and he owns an abnormally small number of possessions. His room contains only a bed, a closet, and an old writing desk. He is a diligent correspondent and an avid reader. He loves American literature, and his favorite books are Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" and William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." He feeds a stray cat in the neighborhood and has secretly named it "Mark II."
