Appearance

In Danganronpa 3 Jin's hair appears to be black. He wears the same suit and purple tie.

Personality
Jin is capable of being completely calm, similar to his daughter. He is also mentioned to have surprisingly light and cheerful voice at times. Jin is strict to the whole school but has soft feelings for Kyoko, and was also impressed by how much she had already discovered when he asked her to investigate Izuru Kamukura and The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy in Danganronpa/Zero.

In Makoto Naegi's Worst Day Ever, he is portrayed as being somewhat understanding towards the troublemaker student Nagito Komaeda, because he knows the boy doesn't really mean any harm. Still, he has to constantly worry because of his doings.

Jin is shown to firmly believe in luck as a talent, using Nagito's extraordinary luck as an example.
