Ryuunosuke's closest friend, a prodigious student who recently became a defense attorney and who plans to travel the world.

Personality: Asougi is loyal and intelligent, with a keen sense of justice and progressivism. As an attorney, he aims to both protect the innocent and reform Japan's legal system, believing that modernization, transparency, and fairness are necessary to ensure just trials throughout the country. His confidence in his skills occasionally flirts with arrogance, but he's almost always able to back up his talk, even if he isn't always quite as quick to 'think outside the box' as some attorneys we know.

Misc Facts: Asougi has trouble with tongue-twisters, to the point that he wears a headband as a way of expressing victory over one that vexed him for months. (Unfortunately, he got the tongue-twister wrong to begin with.)

Friends and Family: Close friend of Ryuunosuke. Student of Yuujin Mikotoba and partner of Susato Mikotoba.

Name Origin:
Japanese: Takumi has commented that the name comes from Asōgi (阿僧祇), a word denoting the rather large number of 10^56 (from Chinese origin). The kanji of his first name can be read as "one truth", while his last name contains one of the kanji for "justice".
