Yamane is a cheerful, hard-working person. He takes his occupation very earnestly and pursues it very diligently to fulfill his superior Omito Kawasemi's high standards.

===Omito Kawasemi===
Kawasemi is Yamane's superior whom he looks up to. He is thrilled to be able to work under Kawasemi and does his best to ensure that Kawasemi can fully focus on cases: He carries his spare tweezers, gathers information, and does any other menial work with great joy. In turn, Kawasemi thinks highly of Yamane and often praises him for his good work.
However, because of Kawasemi's rigorous "tweezer discipline," Yamane puts great pressure on himself to please him. This eventually leads to Yamane committing a crime in his panic when he loses his handcuffs.
Kawasemi is horrified when he learns of this and that he unwittingly put such great pressure on Yamane. He holds Yamane in high regard because Yamane and his cheerful, earnest nature taught him to view people in light of their positive traits and not their flaws. However, he eventually started to take Yamane's effort for granted and became blind to the stress his right-hand's was under. For this reason, when Yamane apologizes to Kawasemi for staining his perfect record, Kawasemi takes the blame upon himself and emphasizes that what happened during the Hand Collector Killer Case is not Yamane's fault, but his. Even if Yamane cannot be an officer himself anymore, Kawasemi would love to keep him as his assistant. His words touch Yamane.
