Sasaki, Yuuta

佐々木優太

A young boy who cross-dresses and serves as Inaba's secretary. He despises Ogino to the extent that he wishes to kill him. Yuuta pretends to be a stereotypical cute anime girl. However, toward anyone he dislikes or considers an enemy, particularly regarding time spent with Hiroshi, he reveals his sadistic side. This is especially evident in his desire to kill Kuniharu Ogino, Hiroshi's former partner. This stems from Yuuta's jealousy of the mutual trust between Ogino and Hiroshi. He is affectionate and protective only toward Hiroshi, but Hiroshi either fails to notice or chooses to ignore it, treating Yuuta like a little sister. Later, Yuuta also shows protectiveness toward Noah. Yuuta and Noah instantly bonded due to their similar personalities and shared desire to kill Ogino. Despite technically being enemies, Yuuta and Noah remain enthusiastic in each other's company and are shown to text frequently. Yuuta is proficient in martial arts. It is implied that Yuuta has a crush on Hiroshi and later on Noah.
