Line 547:
A gentleman assassin from the second game. Highly values honesty and trust that he takes great measures to ensure that their clients are not found guilty of murder (gee, [[Not So Different|that sounds kinda familiar...]]). His alias is John Doe (''Tarou Tanaka''). He was hired by {{spoiler|Engarde to assassinate Corrida. [[Karma Houdini|He also got off scott-free for it.]]}} {{spoiler|He appears in ''Ace Attorney Investigations 2'' as a recurring character.}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: Unlike most villains in the series, he doesn't come across as arrogant, instead he's a polite man who's only doing his job (which happens to be [[Bread Milk Eggs Squick|killing people]]).
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Matt Engarde decides it's a good idea to attempt to blackmail this guy.}}
* [[The Butler Did It]]: Well, he poses as a butler, at least.
* [[Calling Card]]: One of the aforementioned measures taken to protect clients.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: {{spoiler|This is how Phoenix finally beats Matt Engarde, by proving to De Killer that he was planning to blackmail him with a video of the murder. This immediately has De Killer release Maya and basically say in court that if Matt Engarde wasn't found guilty, ''he would kill him.''}} He also, unlike some of the other assassins {{spoiler|Engarde}} describes, doesn't blackmail his client, but tries to get him off when things don't go as planned and his client gets charged.
* [[Expressive Shirt]]: De Killer himself always wears a completely stoic expression, but his radio, which resembles his face, shows a lot of emotion, including hopping in anger, sweating oil, and exploding. His ''Ace Attorney Investigations 2'' appearance mirrors this effect using an ice cream cone he carries.
Line 564 ⟶ 563:
* [[Mr. Smith]]: He goes by the alias of John Doe, or Tarou Tanaka in Japanese. Both are exceedingly plain names that are commonly used as pseudonyms.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]
* [[Noble Demon]]: De Killer follows a strict honor code, as a professional killer. The level of trust between him and his client is paramount, and he will honor every deal as long as the client fulfills their end of the bargain. {{spoiler|Of course in this case, his client, Engarde, does not honor the deal, and once Phoenix proves that Engarde was planning to betray De Killer, he responds by terminating the contract and threatening to assassinate Engarde himself out of revenge for attempting to double-cross him.}}
* [[Overly Long Name]]: "Sazaemon Koroshiya" is nine characters long (???? ?????).
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: His distinctive face means that his different attire does little to disguise him - but he makes sure few people know what he looks like, so it works anyways (except for the players). Lampshaded by one of the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 producers while discussing "John Doe" at a panel:
{{quote|''"Mr. Doe... he's one of those people you just can't have a second game in a series without."''}}
** It's commented on in ''Investigations 2''. Edgeworth never actually met him face-to-face in "Farewell My Turnabout", so it makes sense he falls for it. He still ends up mentally scolding himself once he finds out though, reminding himself he should have at least seen his picture come up in case files.
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: His focus is to fulfill the contract with his patient. Anything else is irrelevant to him. {{spoiler|He lets Maya go at the end, but certainly not out of kindness. It's because he found out Engarde was plotting to betray him, and as a result felt no need to obey his client any longer.}}
* [[Professional Killer]]: Of the assassin variety.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He's a professional assassin, so he's simply doing his job.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: {{spoiler|He sports a pink kimono while posing as an ice cream vendor on Gourd Lake during ''Ace Attorney Investigations 2''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Red Herring]]}}: {{spoiler|Despite, you know, ''being a proffesional assassin'', he's the only character who isn't guilty of anything in Turnabout Target. (apart from the victim, of course)}}
