Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

 * Cannot Spit It Out: He won't tell anyone about his agnosia, for fear of becoming a guinea pig in lab experiments. Naturally, his silence ends up doing more harm than good.
 * Conveniently an Orphan: The fact that both his parents were killed in the horrific car crash means no one really knows what's going on inside his house.
 * : Attempted it before the beginning of the game due to his condition, but didn't succeed. Succeeds in 1 of the 3 endings

 * Action Survivor
 * Badass
 * Combat Pragmatist: His skill and experience in street fighting makes him a superior combatant to Fuminori, who has never fought anyone before.
 * Hero Antagonist
 * Horrible Judge of Character: Justified in that Fuminori was his best friend though, and Kouji would have never guessed he . Nonetheless, he still suffers a bit from this when Fuminori shows up, starts acting strange, and abruptly asks to be driven all the way to a far, remote location without suspecting he might be up to something.
 * The Matchmaker: He and Ōmi were trying to get their respective friends, Fuminori and Yoh, together as a couple before the accident happened.
 * Nice Guy: He's the only genuine example of this, unlike Fuminori, at least before he gets broken down by his subsequent experiences.

 * Pipe Pain:
 * Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Ōmi, This only applies to their personalities though, and not their physical attributes.
 * A Tragedy of Impulsiveness/Too Dumb to Live: The player can actually invoke these tropes by choosing to have Kouji immediately phone Fuminori after, rather than choosing the more rational option of contacting Ryoko first. Depending on which choice is picked, Kouji will either play these tropes entirely straight or avert them.
