A retired Japanese ACME detective and Carmen Sandiego's former crime-fighting partner, having quit in shame after her turn to thievery. He joins Zack and Ivy on their chase after Carmen begins stealing items related to their past cases.
----
* MyGreatestFailure: As the quote above indicates, he takes part of the blame for Carmen's turn to evil onto himself, thinking he didn't provide enough of a challenge for her back in the day.
* OldMaster: Ticks all the boxes, especially due to being an old Japanese master who values tradition and learning from experience. He was not only Carmen's partner in her ACME days, he also taught her plenty of tactics and maneuvers to escape traps and fight criminals. Part of why he quit is the fact she started using those same lessons to help with her crime sprees.
* OneShotCharacter: Appears exclusively in "Déja Vù" to help Zack and Ivy after Carmen starts stealing things related to the cases she worked on with Suhara in the past.
* TechnologicallyBlindElders: Prefers the traditional ways of thinking and transport over ACME's latest technologies, opting to call up a friend of his for aerial transport to Japan when they can just use the C-5 corridor to get there immediately. He does eventually relent on just using the transporter when time is of the essence.
