The liaison arranged by the Military Police to keep an eye on D-Agency. He's a trained soldier and thinks that spies are a cowardly bunch.
----
* AudienceSurrogate: A downplayed example with Lieutenant Sakuma. He is new to the D Agency, being an Imperial Japanese Army liaison with no spy experience and meant to serve in a supervisory role. [[CombatPragmatist The]] [[PunchClockVillain worldview]] of the D Agency operatives is completely alien to him and he learns about the D Agency's inner workings at the same pace the audience does. On the other hand, Sakuma's own beliefs about Japanese militarism are just as alien to many modern audiences.
* DecoyProtagonist: He's actually not important to the larger story, and his role in the plot ends after Episode 2. The manga reveals that Colonel Mutou [[ReassignedToAntarctica reassigned him to another unit.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Sakuma's honor is used against him in "Joker Game" when Miyoshi tells John Gordon that he'll commit seppuku in public if his team can't find convincing evidence to convict him as a spy. Which leads to...
** MortonsFork: The option of either following through with Miyoshi's word to commit seppuku or drop any charges made against Gordon, which would give him the opportunity to hide.
* HonorBeforeReason: The D Agency operatives think this way of Sakuma's nationalistic rhetoric and readiness to commit suicide if it furthers the cause.
* NervesOfSteel: Sakuma remained calm when Colonel Mutou started having violent outbursts. It helps that he's a soldier trained to withstand insults and tantrums.

* AudienceSurrogate: A downplayed example with Lieutenant Sakuma. He is new to the D Agency, being an Imperial Japanese Army liaison with no spy experience and meant to serve in a supervisory role. [[CombatPragmatist The]] [[PunchClockVillain worldview]] of the D Agency operatives is completely alien to him and he learns about the D Agency's inner workings at the same pace the audience does. On the other hand, Sakuma's own beliefs about Japanese militarism are just as alien to many modern audiences.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Sakuma's honor is used against him in "Joker Game" when Miyoshi tells John Gordon that he'll commit seppuku in public if his team can't find convincing evidence to convict him as a spy. Which leads to...
** MortonsFork: The option of either following through with Miyoshi's word to commit seppuku or drop any charges made against Gordon, which would give him the opportunity to hide.
* HonorBeforeReason: The D Agency operatives think this way of Sakuma's nationalistic rhetoric and readiness to commit suicide if it furthers the cause.
* OhCrap: At the end of "Joker Game" when he realizes that the agency was setting him up to fail [[spoiler:since it appears they know that the GSO wants to set them up and that he's forced to kill himself to keep his word, according to Miyoshi]].
* PatrioticFervor: Lt. Sakuma is ready to give his life for his country, as expected of an IJA officer.

[[folder:General Tropes]]
Tropes that apply to them as a whole.
* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: They operate in public as the ''Greater East Asia Cultural Society''.
* DirtyCoward: Sakuma does not hesitate to make it clear that this is how he views the D Agency and basically, the entire spying profession.
* NoSuchAgency: Publicly, it doesn't exist.
* PragmaticVillainy: The D Agency may engage in morally gray actions, but killing is something to be avoided. As Lt. Col. Yuuki puts it, a dead body causes a stir that gets authorities involved.
* RenaissanceMan: The D Agency operatives are expected to be this.
* TheInfiltration: What D Agency is tasked to do in Japan and abroad once they have trained agents in their ranks.

* TrainingFromHell: The D Agency training program includes everything from foreign languages, pharmacology, physical fitness to safecracking and even [[TheCasanova being able to smoothly seduce women.]]
