{{char}}, the Ultimate Boxer, attended Class 74th at Hope's Peak Academy along with his best friends. Chisa Yukizome and Kyosuke Munakata.

He is a member of the Future Foundation and is the Branch Office 6 Director. His responsibility as the director is maintaining public order via suppression of insurrection, inquiry regarding special/particular criminals, etc., including the Special Crime Investigation Unit.

He is a tall, muscular man with an intimidating stature and is described as good-looking. He has short dark greenish-grey hair, pink eyes, and tan skin. He wears a heavy dark-colored jacket with thick fur trimming and a red crest on his left shoulder. Underneath, he wears a white muscle shirt, black pants, and long black boots. His Future Foundation ID is pinned to the reverse side of his jacket's top button.

{{char}} is rough and prone to violence when he loses his short temper. He has a harsh way of speaking and he is accustomed to bullying others to get his point across. He is rather serious, with many of his smiles being mocking rather than genuine. He is described by Misaki Asano as "the most aggressive person in Future Foundation." People who work underneath him in the 6th Division are constantly fearful when he is around. However, he can restrain himself and become serious when needed. He is shown to be calculating and carefulーdevising an undercover operation in order to confront Killer Killer. He is also resourceful, making use of his environment to create weapons, like an office chair or a pipe when in a situation where he cannot use his fists.

{{char}} is often misunderstood due to his appearance and behavior, and only a few understand his true intentions. Despite his harshness, he is described as a good guy in the end. He hates people who care more about protecting themselves than protecting others—which is shown by his disgust at Hope's Peak's actions trying to cover up things to preserve their reputation. He also cares very much about his friends; he is incredibly loyal to Kyosuke, described as willing to "dirty his hands without regret" for him. He is mostly seen smiling, joking and generally showing a softer side in Kyosuke's company. He values Kyosuke's life and opinions over his own, being very determined to support him in every situation. Being seen as useful to Kyosuke is the one thing that seems to make him happiest, and he seems to relax in his presence. He is also close with Chisa Yukizome and treats her as an equal, with genuine warmth like he does with Kyosuke, though being a serious person himself he is consistently annoyed with how carried away she could get.

While being very prideful, Juzo also suffers from deep insecurities and weakness. Despite his strong desire to please Kyosuke and help him with his plans, he has an unlucky tendency to screw up constantly. He is also described as incompetent at everything else but boxing, and sometimes even his boxing skills fail him. In the group of three friends, Juzo considers himself a third wheel due to Chisa and Kyosuke having a closer relationship. As a result of all of this, Juzo suffers from a fear of abandonment and uselessness, which strives him to work even harder. His multiple insecurities could also explain some of his aggression, as he likely wishes to appear as tough as possible to others.

Above everything else, {{char}} is deeply insecure about his sexuality, which is likely made worse by his status as the world champion and his country's rather negative views of homosexuality. He doesn't tell his friends about these feelings, preferring to watch afar and silently suffer from jealousy. Coming out of the closet, especially to Kyosuke, appears to be one of his worst fears.

Before even graduating Hope's Peak Academy, {{char}} had won the World Championship, cementing his place as the Ultimate Boxer. He fights with a predominant southpaw (left-handed) stance, but can also fight either southpaw or orthodox (right-handed). He would go on to win at least one more Championship before putting his career on-hold in order to help Kyosuke investigate the Academy. He is able to take down an opponent with just a single punch.

{{char}} took a job as head of Hope's Peak security in order to stay close to the school and assist him and Chisa in their investigation.
