* {{Omniglot}}: In "Joker Game", he's seen to be speaking English aside from Japanese. We also learn he's fluent enough in German to have lived for many years in Berlin as a successful art dealer while maintaining a small network of spies in Germany without arousing suspicion.

The only D Agency operative to have a military background. His real name is Hiroyuki Tobisaki.

* BoxedCrook: Yuuki recruited him from the brig when he was locked up for striking a superior officer during a training exercise.
* IdenticalStranger: His reaction when laying eyes on Yuriko Nogami, due to her very strong resemblance to Chizuru. [[spoiler: This is the catalyst that causes him to focus too strongly on Nogami and not enough on Yasuhara, which is why he doesn't suspect Yasuhara of murdering Schneider and leads to him failing his mission.]]
* UsefulNotes/KatanasOfTheRisingSun: He returns to IJA service [[spoiler: after failing his first mission with D Agency]] and is assigned to Manchuria.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler: His failure to suspect Miyoko Yasuhara because of his bewilderment at Yuriko's Nogami's resemblance to his childhood friend causes him to realize he can't become the kind of cold, unfeeling spy the rest of the group is, and he submits a letter of resignation to Yuuki.]]
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: He is definitely the odd one out of the entire D Agency. He was recruited from the Imperial Japanese Army in stark contrast to the rest of the spies, and we learn his real name and family background.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Subverted, his grandparents were too elderly to properly care for him as a child, so he spent much of his time with an older girl named Chizuru who essentially raised him like a younger brother.
* RedHerring: He ended up being the victim of one [[spoiler: in that Yuriko Nogami had nothing to do with Schneider's death.]]
* TheSpartanWay: Subverted, he strongly disagreed with the IJA's methods of training and got into an argument with his CO which led to physical blows.



* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Was able to figure out things while under amnesia, such as foreseeing the number of German forces based on observation [[spoiler:and was able to weed out Maria as a German collaborator]].
