* {{Determinator}}: Despite the hardships she endured as a victim of the Lost Incident, she nevertheless stood her ground and fought to the very end, vowing to escape and apologise to Aoi over the day Miyu lost her mother's ring.

Even though he gets better after one to save him in the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project was brought real world while Playmaker saved him in VRAINS, instead only being frustratingly vague when Aoi asked him, which would have likely led Emma and Aoi to connecting the dots.

* BeginnersLuck: The only reason he managed to beat the first Knight of Hanoi he came across was because the guy he was dueling happened to have drawn a bad hand in the beginning of the duel and the fact that he had the Cyberse Wizard in his deck at the time which contributed to his victory.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Ever since Brave Max defeated a Knight of Hanoi using "Cyberse Wizard" and his subsequent encounter with its owner, Naoki believes that he is Playmaker's chosen one and his best friend.

Shoichi Kusanagi's younger brother. Like Yusaku, he was also one of the children kidnapped during the events of the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project, and is still shook from the incident, unable to escape captivity.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: He is heavily implied to suffer the same problem as Yusaku. Like Yusaku, he is still suffering from the shock of the incident and PTSD and hasn't recovered from it until the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project was brought to a closure.
* BrokenBird: His DarkAndTroubledPast in which he was imprisoned as a child and underwent a hellish experiment has made him this, unable to bring himself to escape from captivity due to the severe trauma he induced.
* BreakTheCutie: Prior to his kidnapping which saw him being badly tortured and made him close off his heart to the world, he was just a normal, cheerful guy.
* CynicismCatalyst: His trauma is what drove Yusaku to fight for him and become vengeful towards Hanoi.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Along with Yusaku, he was one of the six children abducted during the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project. Though the project's purpose remains a mystery, he remains traumatised in the present day.
* DistressedDude: Getting his consciousness taken away basically starts the conflict of Season 2.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Highlighting the trauma that he suffered during the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project. Even though he gets better after the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project was brought to a closure, his eyes remain dull and lifeless. Apparent in episode 64 where his eyes were dull as shown in Kusanagi's flashback.
* EmotionlessBoy: Heavily implied to be more emotionless than Yusaku and the Hanoi project has made him an EmptyShell. He doesn't express any emotion at all every time he is seen.
* EmptyShell: The Hanoi Project and all the hell and torture he went through made him suffer even worse than Yusaku, shaken over the incident and unable to leave. He gets better after he is informed that the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project was brought to a closure... only for Bohman to appear shortly after and suck his soul away, leaving Jin a lifeless husk. [[spoiler:His consciousness is then suppressed and he is made into Lightning's aide.]]
* TheGhost: Initially, he was mentioned by Yusaku and Kusanagi multiple times since the start of the show and was seen only in flashbacks, until he finally makes his first direct appearance in Episode #47, when Kusanagi visits him for a checkup.
* TheStoic: He is often seen with a dull, emotionless expression, and rarely smiles.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks a lot like a younger version of his older brother.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Kusanagi described him as gentle and cheerful before the incident.
* TheVoiceless: While he gets much better after he is informed that the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project was brought to a closure, he doesn't talk at all.
* YankTheDogsChain: Just when you thought things were getting much better for Jin after he is informed that the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project has been brought to a closure, an unknown yellow figure (later revealed to be Bohman) sucks his soul away and escapes into LINK VRAINS.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple like his brother's, but a brighter shade.

----
* BreakTheCutie: In one day Miyu lost her mother's ring and her friend Aoi took the fall so she wouldn't get in trouble with her mother, who then banned her from seeing Aoi again. Later Miyu would go through the Lost Incident and all that entailed before ultimately being rendered comatose by Lightning's Virus.

* DramaQueen: She kicked up a major fuss after losing her mother's ring, and is unable to bring herself to admit that she lost it, instead continuously bursting to tears until [[TakingTheHeat Aoi stepped in and took the blame]].

* GenkiGirl: Miyu was an energetic CheerfulChild with cutesy behavior, making her similar to Aoi's behavior as Blue Angel.
* GirlishPigtails: Miyu was shown to have pigtails in her silhouette of the Lost Incident, likely in memory of her lost friend.
