Personality

Hacker was more excited the more difficult something is, but was completely apathetic to things that do not interest him. He was often outwardly cold and blunt to others.

Inside, Hacker was deeply bored and dissatisfied with his life in Kansai. His motivation for participating in the Shinkansen heist was his desire to escape to Kanto, where he believed he would finally experience a lasting sense of excitement.

Appearance

Hacker had a short and angular figure. He was pale-skinned and blue-eyed, with unruly blond hair.

Hacker wore a blue cap and black eyepatch on his left eye, both with circular neon highlights. He wore a blue jacket with a white turtleneck underneath, black pants, and calf-length boots.

Relationships

Ordinary Person

Swindler is the only person with whom Hacker appears to feel comfortable and has friendly interactions with, though he may disagree with some of her optimistic opinions and nature. Though Swindler tried to understand his intentions, he would frequently brush her off. Regardless, Hacker most likely enjoyed Swindler's company enough to selflessly help her and Courier later on - especially when they were in danger of being assimilated into Kanto.

When he announced his departure from the team, Swindler showed concern for him and felt upset. Because of this, he gave her one of his drones as a parting gift, recalling that she said once she wanted one. Swindler did accept it and declared that they would see each other again. She promised to return it to him soon, at which he smiled and wished her luck.

Trivia

He is the youngest known Akudama, as well as the only minor among the main characters.
