Kaito Sakakiba

Kaito Sakakiba (, Sakakiba Kaito) is a character featured in Judgment and Lost Judgment. He is one of the four leaders of the Keihin Gang.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Sakakiba has medium-length blonde hair and a large, chubby build.
==== Attire ====
Sakakiba wears a white t-shirt with a logo featuring an orange circle with a black outline and a black arm flexing its bicep in the middle, along with the word "Power" written in black above the arm in the circle. The shirt is noticeably ill fitting and short, as his belly shows underneath the shirt. He also wears gray sweatpants with white stripes down the sides and white sneakers.
Sakakiba wears attire identical to Yagami's while disguised as him, though is considerably bulkier and wearing a wig that matched Yagami's hair style.
=== Personality ===
Compared to the rest of the Keihin Gang, Sakakiba is considerably the dimmest of the four leaders and is hyperfocused on consuming food. He is also incredibly selfish and greedy, only willing to fight Yagami or perform actions when promised the incentive of food. Furthermore, Sakakiba seems particularly fond of making food-related remarks, such as threatening Yagami in Lost Judgment with terms related to preparing food, such as fry-cooking.
Despite his dimwitted nature, Sakakiba seems intelligent and capable enough to fool people. In Lost Judgment, he disguises as Yagami (alongside Kasai) to ruin the detective's reputation and is successful in doing so. Additionally, Sakakiba displays an extraordinary sense of smell, being able to figure out Yagami's disguise and location in Judgment simply by smelling.

Sakakiba fights Yagami, but is defeated by the detective alongside Kenji Tanago. Although Sakakiba calls for backup, Yagami's friends comes to his assistance, allowing the detective to escape in time.

To enact revenge on Yagami, Kasai has Sakakiba disguise himself as Yagami by going into his unlocked office, commit misdeeds around town, and throw his business card around to tarnish his reputation and have the police hunt him. Their plan is successful, but during a feast on chili shrimp, they realize Yagami has returned to Kamurocho and immediately leave his office. Yagami eventually tracks them down and defeats them.
