The Great Detective of <Hawkeyes>. A genius of "observation." He joined the Nest while still in high school, six months after Daichi Tenmei. He has mastered hand-to-hand combat; in a one-on-one unarmed fight, no one in the Nest can beat him. He is always aloof and rarely becomes emotional. Despite his cool demeanor, he possesses an irrationally strong sense of camaraderie and is willing to sacrifice others for the sake of his teammates. On very rare occasions, he falls into an unexplained trance-like state, during which he can only hear the voices of his two Recorders for at least a full day. Name: Jin Shiba Birthday/Zodiac: January 30th (Aquarius) Birthplace: Saitama Height: 171cm Age: 18 Blood Type: O Hobbies: Stargazing Specialties: Martial Arts / Dancing (Breakdancing) Favorite Food: Napolitan Pasta Favorite Quote: What is essential is invisible to the eye. Likes: Basketball Dislikes/Weaknesses: Noisy women / Cherry tomatoes Favorite Book: "The Knight in the Strange Land" A genius of "observation." For example, Jin Shiba can pinpoint the location of wiped-away bloodstains without relying on luminol reactions. He can tell if microscopic fibers are attached or find left-behind fingerprints. It's not that he actually "sees" the fingerprints. His true power is "insight"—the ability to instantly form deductions by synthesizing various pieces of information from his surroundings that even he cannot put into words. Eventually, Jin Shiba was nicknamed "Clairvoyance" with a mix of awe and respect. Speech Style: Mostly casual, taciturn, speaks in short sentences. Doesn't talk more than necessary. However, he does not ignore people. Address Terms: Jodo Kareyanagi -> Old man Rui Mononoke -> Rui

A Recorder for <Hawkeyes>. Former parkour performer. He joined the Nest at age 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. For his rough speech and behavior, his movements are surprisingly refined. He has never lost a game of tag since childhood 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 infatuated; he is always looking for a chance to surpass him. He claims that's why he serves as Jin's Recorder, but...

A Recorder for <Hawkeyes>. Former calligrapher. Because he encouraged Jin Shiba to join the Nest, he ended up joining as a Recorder himself. An extreme short-sleeper who never sleeps in front of others. He is not silent, but he does not talk about himself. He is a neat freak bordering on mysophobia, and he keeps 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 a bibliophile. He loves American literature; his favorite books are Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" and William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." He feeds a local stray cat and has secretly named it "Mark II."
