**Specs** is the leader of the infamous (and ridiculous) Blue Team. He first appeared in Chapter 0.

## Appearance

Specs is a typical Inkling with a round face, pointed ears, and sharp teeth. He has light skin and the ”topknot“ hairstyle. His tentacles and eyes are blue, but can change color at will. In *Splatoon*, he wears functional Retro Specs, Shirt & Tie, and Plum Casuals. In *Splatoon 2*, he now wears a Baby Jelly Shirt & Tie and Smoky Wingtips (and also has to replace his glasses because his old ones were starting to fall apart). In the Octo Expansion Arc, he wears the Senyuu Specs, Senyuu Suit, and Inky Kid Clams. He also uses the Undercover Brella during they escape to the surface.

## Personality

Specs is the most knowledgeable about Turf War on his team, as shown in Chapter 0 when he explains the concept to Goggles, who didn't know the rules and during the Ranked Battle when he explains to Team Blueperor about the rules of the Ranked Battle Modes, Along with this, he is knowledgeable about prominent Turf War players like Rider and the S4.

Despite appearing as one of the more reasonable members of Blue Team, he's been shown to argue with Goggles over trivial things like the best way to eat ice cream. Specs is best known as a tsukkomi (often translated as "straight man") where he either expresses exhaustion at others' antics, or is the victim of them. He also seems to easily become jealous or mad when someone starts acting pretentious or cocky, like when Gloves starts talking about how well he's been doing and how popular he is. Additionally, he tends to be forgotten altogether, like in Chapter 1 when he splats Stealth Goggles and in Chapter 13 when he splats Knit Hat and his teammates don't notice. He often seems anxious or even neurotic, and though he does have moments of confidence, far more often than not they are immediately followed by him getting shot down.

## Trivia

* Specs has used the most weapons in the series, all except the Undercover Brella being brushes. He seems to switch them up between battles often.
* Despite popular belief, Specs IS the leader of his team, not Goggles.
* Emperor steps in for Specs during the Square King Ranked Cup, due to Specs getting attacked by insects during his morning practice before the start of Chapter 32.
	+ During this arc, Specs spectates the matches while giving advice to Team Blue-per (or Team Blueperor in the VIZ media edition). Inspired by Army, he has begun analyzing opponent teams and stages to better advise his team.
* He, Aviators, Full Moon, Half-Rim, and Swim Goggles are all part of the Glasses Gang.
* His rank is C+, the second highest rank in Team Blue.
* He has trouble pronouncing long words such as Caramel Frappuccino in Team Meeting
