Daisuke

Daisuke is a tall young man with a tanned complexion, mid-length, dyed middle-parted brown hair, and almond-shaped brown eyes; he has a round face with one mole on each cheek, his right mole being under his eye and his left mole slightly lower. He wears a Pony Express yellow and red ringer tee, a pink hibiscus patterned button-up shirt and blue jeans tucked into black boots. He wears silver rings and a red wristband that matches with his Pony Express T-shirt. Additionally, while obscured by his hair, Daisuke wears silver earrings, having one of the left ear and two on the right ear.

Daisuke is the most optimistic crew member. He is often enthusiastic about his duties and retains said enthusiasm after the crash. However, despite his peppy exterior, he later in the game drunkenly confesses to Jimmy that he struggles to find meaning in life. He occasionally fantasizes over women and has an affinity for sugar, arcade games, and thrifting clothes.

He is naive and seeks approval from the other crew members, especially Swansea and Jimmy. He is passionate about helping his crewmates, expressing concern when Anya locks herself in the medbay in Chapter 11. Despite it being dangerous, Daisuke willingly goes into the collapsed vent in the utility room after being manipulated by Jimmy to think that it is safe, and that he would make Swansea proud. He is airheaded and ditzy, and is noted by Swansea to be thick-skulled and a "useless ray of goddamn sunshine". As a result, he expresses a feeling of being useless, as proven by his desire for approval. In grim conversations and situations, Daisuke prefers to remain silent.

Daisuke did not want to be an intern, but his parents insisted, believing it would help motivate him. It was specifically his mother that placed him into the internship; in Chapter 8 he quotes "such a slacker, she said,". When he did end up on the Tulpar last minute, while at first anguished, he decided to put on a brave face and try his best to make his parents proud. He eventually began to bond with his crewmates and was eager to learn, however, he struggled to retain information.

His dialogue suggests he spent his days indulging in partying and getting intoxicated. Jimmy also implied Daisuke seemed to be from a well-off family, claiming "mommy and daddy have him covered."
