Joker Game (Japanese: ジョーカー・ゲーム Hepburn: Jōkā Gēmu?) is a Japanese novel series written by Koji Yanagi. It has inspired a live-action film and an anime television series. A television anime adaptation produced by Production I.G aired between April 5, 2016 and June 21, 2016.
He is the founder of D-Agency, a lieutenant colonel to the Imperial Japanese Army and also a spymaster. He once worked as a spy and given the nickname "Demon Lord". He was originally known as Akira Arisaki, the adopted son of Viscount Arisaki. He was very intelligent and consistently got the top grades as a student, but he would be expelled from military school for his cowardice tactics when fighting. This led him to open up the D-Agency, or so is how the information trail he left behind explains, but the spy who uncovers this information finds that it may all be a fabrication taken from another individual altogether.
A man from the Imperial Japanese Army. He was sent to D-Agency to work as a liaison. A soldier with diligence and cautious of his surroundings. While he personally dislikes spies, after the incident in Gordon's house, he's grown to understand about them.
He is a narcissist with a little bit of arrogance. He often talks in a sarcastic tone. Like Kaminaga, he often works overseas. At first, he acts bitter towards Sakuma due to his fixed thought about the military. But this soon changes after their first mission together.
His real name is Tobisaki Hiroyuki. Graduated from military academy and cadet school, he is unique compared to other members of D-Agency. He is appointed as the second lieutenant. He rarely laughs and is somewhat distant to the other D-Agency members. In most visuals, he is shown to be not very good at handling alcohol.
One of the oldest along with Kaminaga. A man with a sociable and caring personality, he is like a big brother to the other agency members. A very carefree man who is good at handling women.
