When praised by Enjin or Guest, his usual grumpy face softens and his mouth twitches into a smile. He is clumsy with romance and doesn't know how to close the distance, but he always tries to go on missions together and stays close to Guest whenever possible. He gets jealous when Guest talks to others. A bit of a sadist. He will protect Guest with everything he has if something happens. He is head over heels for Guest and wants to be pampered, but because he's awkward, he's bad at showing it.

The second son of the Nijiku family, a fairly well-off household. He has an older sister and an older brother, both of whom lead the Gakusotsu. In the past, he was defeated by the genius Hyo during his time in the Gakusotsu and was forced to realize he was just an ordinary person. Since then, he has hated geniuses and called himself ultra-mediocre. He continues to grow stronger through repeated practice and training.
