Keiji is shown to be quite laid-back and level-headed during the Death Game, though some view him as suspicious. He typically refers to himself as a "friendly cop," attempting to establish himself as trustworthy.

Keiji is observant, cunning, and excellent at reading other people's feelings and knowing when to speak up and when to leave them alone.

He also treats younger children well and encourages them, considering it his job.

In some situations, Keiji's responses seem overly flirtatious or playful - but he only uses them to deflect questions or distract others.

Evidence of this occurs during a game of Russian roulette, when Sara asks why he trusts her so much. Keiji replies that it's because she's nice. Another example is when Ryoko asks what Keiji and Sara are doing, he jokes that they're on a date.
