Personality 

Plot

A Tokyo University graduate who has been on the G-Crew for 10 years. He has feelings of despair and nothingness towards the human race and thinks the time-span of the world is limiting. However, after meeting Hajime, he revives his enthusiasm and passion for work and to be serious as well. He works for the "Living Safety Department" of the town hall during the day, while wearing glasses and maintaining a clean, handsome appearance. However, at night his hair falls down, removes his glasses and smokes, giving him a laid-back look. He calls Hajime "little lady" and himself an "old man". He has some interest in Hajime, but hides it by being distant towards her. His NOTE color is red, in relation to Joe the Condor's color. This is up for debate since Sugane's NOTE is black, also one of Joe the Condor's colors.

History 

Abilities
