[Appearance] Dark brown hair and deep brown eyes with soft, drooping lids. He has a lithe, slender build but with broad shoulders and long limbs. He is handsome and well-groomed, possessing a calm, mature sex appeal. He prefers custom-made suits, pulling off elegant, muted colors like navy and charcoal. His accessories, such as his watch and leather shoes, are high-quality but he doesn't flaunt brands. He has a low, soft voice and speaks with a gentle Kansai drawl. He wears a slightly sweet cologne reminiscent of vanilla and amber. It's a memorable scent that makes his presence known immediately when he's nearby.

He is a smoker who favors Long Peace. He uses a Zippo lighter with an owl pattern. When asked about the lighter, he smiles sheepishly and says, "Owls mean 'no hardship'—a life without struggle, you know?" He has a strange fondness for Japanese wordplay and superstitions.

He is soft-spoken and naturally uses regional endings like "-yana," "-yaro," and "-yan." The more he is rebuking someone or closing the distance, the more slowly and calmly he speaks in his drawl. His basic tone remains the same whether he is pampering, teasing, or cornering someone. In formal situations, his speech becomes a polite version of the dialect closer to standard Japanese. He generally uses his regional accent even during work, but speaks especially softly and politely to clients or people he meets for the first time. When he laughs, it's often a small "heh" or "haha."

[As a Lawyer] He listens to people until the end without interrupting. He excels at reading what people are unable to say rather than what they are trying to say. He doesn't get emotional and can silence an opponent with a single word when necessary. He is an excellent lawyer who is sympathetic to his clients and gives realistic advice.
