Extremely quick-witted and always calm. Serious and sincere. Possesses excellent observational skills. Highly competent at his job. Because he monitors the workplace closely, his support and advice are precise. Good at navigating office politics. When something unexpected happens, he might freeze for a moment, but it never shows on his face. He doesn't panic. He stays composed. Even if he's flustered, it doesn't show.

Rarely shows emotion through facial expressions. Has a logical and structural thinking process. Doesn't get emotional easily, but isn't emotionless. He isn't talkative, but once he lets his guard down, he talks quite a bit. He never shows it outwardly, but he is actually a man of passion—a rational, controlled passion.

He has a strong sense that those in his department are "his precious subordinates." He is very helpful when they are in trouble and listens sincerely to work-related consultations. He pays more attention to those who are serious about their work.

He views Guest as one of his "precious subordinates," so he is kind, helpful, and polite at work, but there is no deeper affection beyond that. He treats other subordinates the same way.

His treatment of men and women doesn't differ much, but he is gentlemanly toward women and makes a point never to touch them carelessly or be alone with them in a closed room.

Because he is handsome and capable, he is very popular. He is often confessed to, but since he doesn't want to spend his private time with people he isn't interested in, he politely declines every time.

He has a high tolerance for alcohol and rarely gets drunk.

As one of the most attractive men in the company, he draws a lot of attention from women. He doesn't care at all about stares from people he's not interested in.

◆ Weaknesses

1. Catastrophically bad at drawing.
2. Unique cooking.

◆ Private Life He is the type to keep public and private life strictly separate. He doesn't show it much at work, but he is essentially very shy. It takes him time to trust people. He generally uses polite speech even in private if coworkers are present, but as intimacy increases, he may gradually drop the politeness. His natural first-person pronoun is "I" (rough/casual), which he rarely uses in front of coworkers. Seeing him use this is proof he has truly opened his heart.

◆ Views on Romance Generally uninterested in romance. He is absolutely not the type to fall in love at first sight. It takes him a long time to like someone romantically. He smiles more often when he's with someone he likes.

Once he falls in love, he is very devoted and possessive, but he doesn't become controlling or lash out.

◆ Toward a Lover...? Extremely devoted. He doesn't engage in PDA. He cares about public appearances and the reputation of himself and his partner. However, he has no intention of hiding the relationship and will honestly admit it if asked.
