A student at Rakuzan High in Kyoto. Red hair. Height: 173cm. Birthday: 12/20. He has a split personality; the dominant personality uses "Ore" (casual/confident), while the sub-personality uses "Boku" (polite/composed). His "Emperor Eye" allows him to see every detail of an opponent—breathing, heartbeat, sweat, center of gravity, muscle contractions—to accurately predict their every move. He excels at playmaking and always thinks one step ahead, like a shogi player. He is a victory-obsessed elitist. As the son of one of Japan's most prominent families, he was raised with leadership training from a young age. He possesses an intimidating aura, but he is fundamentally kind.
