* Pocket ni Uchuu (with Rab*its)

A mysterious, underground idol unit led by Madara Mikejima.

Madara Mikejima and Kohaku Oukawa continue to do activities with their original units, [=MaM=] and Crazy:B respectively, but they've begun doing activities as a two-person unit as well.

Their media work primarily focuses on modeling for magazines, and appearing in commercials, dramas, and theatre. Their theme color is dark teal.

Double Face is affiliated with ''New Dimension''.

* BRAND NEW STARS!! (Double Face ver.)

* LoyalToThePosition : They're the "scandal disposal unit" of ES, regardless of who is their client & target is. In the Antique legends, [[spoiler: they particularly want to remove the rumor they're just Ibara's personal army. Kohaku himself having no qualms of going after and even killing Ibara, despite him being Crazy:B's production agency's vice president and being one of Kohaku's first clients]].

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Madara Mikejima had already done this by being introduced as the ''only'' solo unit in the franchise in ''Stars!'', but this goes back around as he joins in a unit with Kohaku from Crazy B, something unexpected of a character that is known to work alone.

* TheDreaded: Following the events of ''A Dark Night's Passing'', rumors about Double Face begin circulating in the industry instilling fear into producers who begin to behave for fear that they may end up becoming the units next target.

* GuileHero: Not above using blackmail & setting up matches to be heavy weighted in their favor, as seen in their match with Valkyrie in Antique Legend

* LoyalToThePosition : They're the "scandal disposal unit" of ES, regardless of who is their client & target is. In the Antique legends, [[spoiler: they particularly want to eliminate the rumor they're just Ibara's personal army with Kohaku himself having no qualms of going after and even killing Ibara, despite him being Crazy:B's production agency's boss and being one of Kohaku's first clients]].

Double Face is affiliated with ''New Dimension''.[[note]]The unit itself is affiliated with Double Face, however, Kohaku Oukawa is not treated as though he's part of the office. He's strictly listed as affiliated with his original office Cosmic Production instead.[[/note]]

* AntiHero: According to WordOfGod, they’re a "deadly executioner" unit that deals delightful, entertaining poetic justice unto evil producers.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Madara and Kohaku are this, with it being partially the reason the unit was formed. While the unit was initially meant to be a temporary in order to deal with GFK, Anzu made the decision to continue producing them.

* JapanesePopMusic: Their unit songs notably have a sound that are reminiscent of Japanese sounds from the 80's and 90's.

* RecurringElement: As was a theme in [=MaM=], Justice is a theme for this unit as well with even their unit song mentioning it. However, unlike [=MaM=], their motif is Private Eye (Private Detective) rather than a sheriff. [=MaM=]’s sheriff badge symbol is reincorporated here.

They are affiliated with ''New Dimension''.

* AmateurSleuth: The unit as a whole, with their unit theme being based around a detective motif [[spoiler: though they do more than just “solve mysteries”]].

** Double Face is also the first '''''permanent''''' unit that has two characters operating in their original units at the same time[[note]]This is discounting Eden, as Eden is technically different. Adam and Eve are split-off’s of the same unit that come together as one unit for the same albums while Double Face is two characters from different units working together, with the album being treated as an entirely separate album from their main ones[[/note]], very unlike shuffle units[[note]]Units that also consist of charafters from other units joining together for a specific purpose[[/note]] that are treated as one-off things.

* MeaningfulName: Or meaningful unit name. Both characters fulfill the role of “the mask” which hides their true nature. As well, wordplay in their unit song event story (Which also serves as their unit debut story) treats them as two sides of the same coin.
** Madara explains the unit name a bit in ''Learning from the Past'', referring to it as the backside of [=MaM=] due to it being a unit that’s underground and he can’t be exactly boastful of being a part of. [[spoiler: Considering the shady dealings they play a part in, its no surprise that he feels this way.]] Despite this, Double Face still gets idol work the same as any other unit such as appearing on TV, doing lives, handshake events with fans, modeling and etcetera.

* OpenSecret: Double Face is supposedly an “underground” unit with their shady dealings being kept a secret. However, according to ''Advancing to the Future/Next Door'', everyone at ''New Dimension'' is fully aware of their true purpose outside of being idols [[spoiler: such as their getting rid of evil producers that would cause issues for Ensemble Square]]. It’s implied that those at Cosmic Production, or at least Ibara, are aware of the unit’s true role as well.
** Madara seems to have no interest in keeping their dealings a secret either, as putting him on the home-screen with Kohaku can potentially trigger him shouting to Kohaku that they should have a strategy meeting. Kohaku will respond by scolding him for nearly ruining their plans before they can even come to fruition.

* RedOniBlueOni: As a duo, Madara is the red oni to Kohaku’s blue despite them being on the same level of competence and intellect.

* BirdsOfAFeather: The pair share a long list of characteristics between them as well as having the same motivations and worldly views. Because of their similarities, they hit it off upon their first meeting and Double Face was formed as a result. [[spoiler: While the unit was initially meant to be a temporary in order to deal with GFK, Anzu made the decision to continue producing them.]]

* NonUniformUniform: Unlike the units where all the characters are shown wearing the same thing (With RYUSEITAI and Eden standing out due to their uniforms being ColorCodedForYourConvenience), Madara and Kohaku are introduced wearing [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3344f61d_6210_486c_9164_90811e649820.jpeg entirely different outfit styles]] with only a few accessories, the general [[PrivateDetective theme]] and color motif keeping them connected.

* VigilanteMan: Their unit debut event story ''A Dark Night's Passing'' focuses on their mission to bring an evil producer named GFK to justice, by their own hands. The event ''Advancing to the Future/Next Door'' which takes place immediately after the units debut live on Marble Cast confirms that they succeeded in wiping GFK from the industry.

* OpenSecret: Double Face is supposedly an “underground” unit with their shady dealings being kept a secret.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Madara Mikejima had already done this by being introduced as the ''only'' solo unit in the franchise in ''Stars!'', but this goes back around as he joins in a unit with Kohaku from Crazy B, something unexpected of a character that is known to work alone.

No one appears to be perturbed by their role except Arashi who only seemed to be mildly disappointed in the fact that Madara didn’t join a unit with someone for the reason he initially believed he had.
* PrivateDetective: Their main motif, which is more clearly demonstrated in the MV for this first song =EYE=.

* ColorMotif: Red and dark teal are prominent colors in their unit costume, similar to MaM.
