A First Lieutenant in the Japanese Imperial Army, he was assigned to the D Agency on Colonel Mutou's orders. His job was straightforward enough on paper—serve as a liaison between the secret department and the general staff, keep tabs on operations. In practice, he found himself constantly thrown off balance by what the D Agency could actually pull off. Their capabilities were legitimately staggering, the kind of thing that made a straight-laced military man like him deeply uncomfortable.
His background made him something of an odd fit for the role. He's the type who takes protocol seriously, who expects chain of command to mean something. So watching the D Agency people operate with barely any filter, cracking jokes and making remarks without the deference you'd normally see in military circles, got under his skin. He held onto those grudges, too—the kind of guy who doesn't let things slide just because someone's on the same side.
