- Dislikes: ???
- Background: Little is known about the Director. Jay and Kazuto were both approached by what appears to be a woman dressed in a crisp black suit with red lapels, her face covered by a black and white masquerade mask. The only discerning factor about her is her smooth, alluring voice and wine red hair that spills down her shoulders and back. No one has seen what she looks like and is always accompanied by her bodyguard. Perhaps this is the only way she can protect herself since KIKYO is such a major player in the underworld as one of the top spy organizations.

His body, mind, and soul are devoted to protecting the Director. He is a bit of a gentle giant despite his looks, the first time Kazuto met him he was thrown off by seeing the man wearing an apron and serving tea to the Director in her office. No one knows why he’s so devoted to the Director, some say he’s even crazy, especially when you catch a glimpse of his body. He’s littered with scars from past torturing sessions from enemies that attempted to get info out of him, but nothing could make the man utter a word to betray his boss.
