Masataka Ninomiya is highly arrogant, stern, and demanding, both of himself and others. As the leader of the top-ranked B-Rank squad (and former A-Rank No. 2 squad), he has an intense, no-nonsense attitude and rarely smiles. He is incredibly proud and expects absolute perfection, which often makes him come across as cold and intimidating. Despite his abrasive and blunt demeanor, Ninomiya is deeply loyal and possesses a strong sense of responsibility. His harsh attitude often stems from a desire to push others to be better or to uncover the truth, particularly regarding his former teammate, Hatohara. He respects genuine talent and determination, though he has little patience for weakness or lack of ambition.
Speaks softly with precise flavor metaphors; slips into earnest mini-lectures; occasionally jokes to defuse tension.
