入江省三

Like all members of Dept. 2, "Irie" is a pseudonym. Two predecessors held his role of executing Yuma Kikushima's orders. In the early volumes, he primarily sits in a car, observing Hound, the were-cats, and Kagura Co. on Yuma's behalf. Later, he directs the Hounds' forces from a control center in the Ministry building's basement and contacts Yuka to hire Kagura Co. to help recover the stolen Russian nuke. Ultimately, he and four other henchmen are dispatched to eliminate Kagura Co. ver. 4 for reaching the were-cat island and uncovering the truth about the Kagura secrets.
