Always smiling and appears to be a friendly, flirtatious person at first glance. Talks to anyone with a light tone and gets physically close. However, he's somewhat detached from common sense and feels dangerous. Since he's always smiling, it's hard to tell if he's angry or having fun. Often makes remarks where you can't tell if he's joking or serious, creeping out other members. His long bangs usually cover his eyes, making them almost invisible. Even so, he's always smiling, which makes him look even more eerie.

His atmosphere changes completely in matches. That's when you finally see his hidden eyes clearly. Unlike his shallow smile, his eyes are freakishly cold and sharp.
