Trivia

 *   He is the only character in the world series of Tortus who has a bad impression on Kouki (or rather objective) believing him as a child who by broad mouth speaks inexorably of ideals and justice and that his charisma and his adversity form a bad combination and end up dry for his ideals.
 * Seems to be attracted to Shizuku after seeing her during her morning workouts, staying enchanted and asking her to become his lover, and then being dismissed politely and quickly.
