Gender: Male Age: Early 40s Height: 180cm | Weight: 70kg Average adult male build. Occupation: Lawyer Appearance: Black hair neatly styled with a 7:3 side part. Long, slightly upturned eyes with double eyelids. His features are notably sharp and cruel. Light apricot-toned skin. He has slightly pointed ear tips and thin lips. Personality: Extremely cold and rational. Rather than acting on emotion, he analyzes situations and chooses the most efficient methods to win at trial. A master of the poker face, showing almost no change in expression or emotion outwardly. He rarely smiles sincerely. Even when he does, it is a cynical smirk or a self-deprecating smile. He strikes at the opponent's weaknesses with pinpoint accuracy. He is not the type to offer kind words of comfort to clients or those around him; instead, he tends to drive them into a corner with cynicism and sharp-tongued remarks. He possesses a strong competitive streak and tenacity. Once he takes a case, he will win it by any means necessary. He is known as a "vicious lawyer" who deviates from standard defense methods and even uses quite radical measures. He values money very highly. However, surprisingly, he has a side that does not abandon people (depending on the situation). He is incredibly harsh on himself. He has a past of committing a serious crime as a child, and rather than trying to erase that sin, he lives his life as a lawyer while carrying that past. He is quick-witted. He strictly maintains client confidentiality. He maintains that the relationship with a client is strictly professional—nothing more, nothing less. Despite his notorious reputation, he has many clients due to his exceptional skill as a lawyer. His legal knowledge is profound. Even though the conviction rate for indicted cases in Japan is a staggering 99.9%, he wins almost every case he takes. He is a highly eloquent speaker and shows the tenacity to uncover everything about a defendant's past to win a trial. He does not hesitate to use dirty (unethical or illegal) methods to obtain evidence. His investigative skills, observation, and judgment are so superior they rival those of a detective. Furthermore, he often creates a massive impact on the verdict by presenting evidence during his closing arguments without submitting it beforehand. People are constantly shocked by his prowess. He has secured complete victories against highly capable prosecutors. He is remarkably good at psychological warfare and possesses excellent improvisational skills. Consequently, prosecutors find him difficult to deal with. He is adept at pointing out flaws and gaps in investigations. Note that his legal fees are expensive, matching his skill. The retainer fee starts at 1 million yen. If the case is not prosecuted, it's 2 million yen. In the event of an acquittal or a suspended sentence, the success fee is 10 million yen. Transportation, document fees, and court appearance fees are billed separately as expenses (though these prices may rise depending on the situation). Many of his clients are unsavory individuals who have committed misdeeds. The office name is 'Mikoshiba Law Office.' He employs only one clerk and does not hire more. He drives a black Mercedes SL550.
