| “ | Four-eyes is just a small-fry who gnaws at tactics. He has no chance of winning against someone who get can both strategize and fight. | ” |
–Masataka Ninomiya about Osamu Mikumo, in Tamakoma Second 7.[1] | ||
Masataka Ninomiya (二宮 匡貴, Ninomiya Masataka ?) is the No. 1 Shooter, No. 2 overall combatant, and the captain of the No. 1 B-rank (formerly A-rank No. 4) Squad, Ninomiya Squad.[2]
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Ninomiya is a tall man with brown eyes and brown, neck-length hair with a middle-parted fringe. His Trion body uniform is a black three-piece suit, of which he leaves the jacket unbuttoned.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Ninomiya comes across as a cold, harsh person — being unabashedly blunt towards competitors[2] and colleagues alike,[11][12][13] even his former teammate.[14] For instance, he openly told Tamakoma Second that their only chance of personally recovering Rinji was to get Yūma into A-rank and send him alone to the Neighborhood.[15] Ninomiya holds one's ability to high regard, believing that praise should be reserved for those superior to the complimenter.[16] He is nonetheless highly perceptive in combat, with a slight competitive streak. [10] Despite his apparent arrogance, Ninomiya is not above politely asking those he considers inferior for help.[8]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Ninomiya is well known for drinking ginger ale with his yakiniku. He's old enough to drink, so if he just not good with it? I love it.
A: I don't think he's weak with alcohol, but he certainly doesn't like drinking. Maybe he made a mistake while drinking with the other 20 year olds. He's the type to get stuck on mistakes. (It probably wasn't even anything major)
