He is an eccentric movie director famous for movies about assassins; his passion is so great he will unhesitatingly kill anyone who insults movies.

She joins the JCC for information on Rion's whereabouts, and joins with Sakamoto, Shin, and Natsuki to locate the student database.

She seems to have the unique ability to see "paths" to follow to kill opponents, something her niece Akira can do as well. During a bodyguard mission assigned by Kindaka, she mysteriously disappeared after trying to chase down Uzuki, who was also assigned, puts him in a coma. She has been reported to have been eliminated by Uzuki, however her JCC account recently states that she was the one who issued Sakamoto's billion yen bounty on him.
It is later revealed following her unintentional death at the hands of Uzuki, he becomes distraught of her death, unintentionally creating a Rion persona based on his memories and experiences with her (and also his guilt). She became Kei's guardian angel based on his instincts to protect himself, assisting in combat situations should it be necessary, although sometimes she switches with Kei on different occasions which Byodo and Kashima notices to become suspicious of his behavior, though Kei intents to let her "rest" once his mission is complete. Fearing for Kei's uneventful future (and due to her inability to physically stop him), the Rion persona would issue the billion-dollar yen bounty on Sakamoto in hopes to lead to him and end his life once and for all in order to prevent from more destruction since he defeated him in the past, unaware that he already retired from killing.
