Character Outline

Appearance

Sakuma has short, black hair, slightly tanned skin, and dark blue eyes. His eyebrows are rather thick, but quickly grow thin as they reach away from his nose. He is quite muscular, as shown when his torso was exposed before attempting to commit seppuku.

Sakuma is typically seen wearing a dark business suit, with a vest and white button-down underneath, along with a black tie and black shoes.

Personality

Sakuma is a very calm, honest and loyal man, willing to set his life aside for the sake of others. He is dedicated and will carry through most tasks given to him, or those he has set his mind to.

Plot

Sakuma first appear when reporting his duty to Yuuki, who labels him as stupid because Sakuma bows in a business suit. Sakuma confirms he´s from General Staff Headquarters, but denies that he´s a spy. Later he´s invited to a town by Miyoshi, but he doesn´t go.

When they return, Sakuma plays poker with the group. He loses and learns about so-called Joker Game, which upsets him, because he realizes they cheated.

Relationships

Yuuki

When Sakuma acted as a liaison between the Military Police and the D-Agency, he bowed to Yuuki as if to present himself only as to be asked "Who bows while wearing a suit?".

Miyoshi

Miyoshi treated Sakuma bitterly at first because of the soldier's belief of spies being cowards, but then he acknowledged him after the orders that were given to get the proof inside Gordon's house as he was able to realize the true nature of the game being played.

Colonel Muto

He ordered Sakuma to act as a liaison, but was later seemed betrayed showing that Sakuma had gone and went to the side of Yuuki.

John Gordon

John Gordon was the one whom Sakuma had investigated, he was looking forward to the Harakiri show that supposedly Sakuma had done.

Abilities

With Yuuki's proposal of Sakuma to enter the training of D-Agency, it implies that he has the skill of being sharp as he can almost join the Joker Game.

Trivia

• When Sakuma was asked by Yuuki "Who bows while wearing a business suit?", it meant that during the World War II era, bowing to an immediate superior was exclusive to East Asian culture only. If a man is bowing in a business suit, it's a dead giveaway that he is on the Japanese side.
