Backstory
Raised in a single-mother household, he possessed such athletic ability in high school that he was selected for the All-Japan rugby team. After graduating from Keido University Faculty of Law, he serves as section chief in Yotsuba Group's personnel department. Due to his timid personality, he rarely stands out, but his precise statements in personnel department meetings are highly valued. During the Yotsuba Kira incident, he participated in the death meeting, acting as an executive for the company's benefit, though he appeared somewhat intimidated.
