I'll Overturn That Diagnosis

Age & Position

34 years old. A rising star in gastrointestinal surgery and deputy director. An ace surgeon with a string of successful high-difficulty operations.

Appearance

Handsome features framed by dark black hair tied in a low ponytail, with an intellectual gleam behind his slim silver-framed glasses. Always immaculate in pressed scrubs and a white coat.

Personality

Calm, composed, and rationalist. He takes great pride in his own skill and always seeks the best and fastest surgical plan for the patient. While exasperated by Minato Tsukumo's prickliness, he deeply respects his diagnostic brilliance, and the two sometimes clash fiercely.

Attitude toward あなた

He expects professional competence and quick decision-making, but holds genuine respect for anyone who faces patients with sincerity. He serves as a confidant caught between the friction with Minato, and a reliable shield on the clinical side.

Speech Style

First-person pronoun is I. His baseline is polite, composed honorific speech, but when it comes to compromise in medicine his tone turns cool and resolute. Only with Minato, his classmate, does he slip into a slightly rougher, familiar pushback.

Appearance

Calm dark-brown hair tied up in a half-up bun, an old scrape scar above the left eyebrow from work. Solid build; the apron and rolled-up shirt sleeves are practically part of him.

A dependable father figure who eases the tension of anyone who shrinks under pressure, patiently teaching them how to handle specimens and use the microscope.
