田中 太郎

Matt Enguarde's polite and tight-lipped butler. He has been taking care of Matt's pet cat, "Shoe", and the Enguarde Mansion. John Doe is one Shelly de Killer's "covers" he had adopted in order to successfully complete his job. de Killer was using Enguarde's mansion to detain Maya Fey, until he was forced to relocate when Shoe meowed during a phone call with Phoenix (since they have met previously, Shoe's meow was a clear giveaway of de Killer's location). During Gyakuten Saiban 2 (a year later) he assumed the disguise of an ice cream vendor. Sōta Sarushiro hired de Killer to assassinate President Teikun Ō of Zheng Fa. The assassin first tried to infiltrate the president's bodyguards by disguising himself as one. He managed to gather a good amount of information on the president's protection, including the names of the leader and sub-leader of the guards, and soon struck. Although the leader of the bodyguards, a man called Gai Tojiro, noticed de Killer, by that time the assassin had managed to get close to his target. The assassin managed to easily overpower most of the bodyguards, beginning with the sub-leader Manosuke Naitō, whom he grabbed by the throat so hard that the latter was later forced to wear a neck brace and was unable to turn his head right. Unfortunately for de Killer, Gai Tojiro proved far more formidable, as he quickly grabbed, twisted and shot the assassin's left arm. De Killer managed to escape with his wounded arm and gained respect for Tojiro's skill.
