The newly recruited agents in the D-Agency, as depicted in the anime adaptation. From left to right: Odagiri, Fukumoto, Hatano, Kaminaga, Miyoshi, Amari, Tazaki and Jitsui.
Yuuki (結城, Yuuki)
Voiced by: Kenyuu Horiuchi (Japanese); Bill Jenkins (English)[3]
Portrayed by: Yusuke Iseya
Yuuki is the founder of D-Agency, a lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Japanese Army, and a spymaster. As a spy he was named as the "Demon Lord." He is the adopted son of Viscount Arisaki, originally known as Akira Arisaki. He is good at academics, but was expelled from the military school for his cowardly tactics of fighting. This led him to open up the D-Agency, or this is what the information trail he left behind explains, but the spy who uncovers this information finds that it may all be a fabrication taken from another individual altogether.
Sakuma (佐久間, Sakuma)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese); Christopher Wehkamp (English)[3]
A man from the Imperial Japanese Army, Sakuma was sent to D-Agency to work as a liaison. He is a diligent soldier and is cautious of his surroundings. Although he personally dislikes spies, after the incident in Gordon's house, he has grown to understand them.
Miyoshi (三好, Miyoshi)
Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese); Josh Grelle (English)[3]
Portrayed by: Keisuke Koide
Miyoshi is a narcissist with an arrogant nature. He often talks in a sarcastic tone. Like Kaminaga, he often works overseas. He acts bitter towards Sakuma at first because of his fixed thought about the military, but this soon changes after their first mission together.
Kaminaga (神永, Kaminaga)
Voiced by: Ryōhei Kimura (Japanese); Dave Trosko (English)[3]
Portrayed by: Yukiyoshi Ozawa
At first glance, he gives the atmosphere of a mischievous, happy-go-lucky playboy. He has a lot of pride. Like Miyoshi, he works overseas.
Odagiri (小田切, Odagiri)
Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese); David Matranga (English)[3]
Portrayed by: Hiroshi Yamamoto
His real name is Tobisaki Hiroyuki. Graduated from military academy and cadet school, he is unique compared to other members of D-Agency. He was appointed as the second lieutenant. He rarely laughs and is somewhat distant to the other D-Agency members. In most visuals, he is shown to be not very good at handling alcohol.
Amari (甘利, Amari)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese); Brad Hawkins (English)[3]

Portrayed by: Kiyohiko Shibukawa

Tazaki (田崎, Tazaki)
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese); Alejandro Saab[3] (English)
He talks calmly and gives an intellectual atmosphere which makes him sound older than he looks. He has the habit of doing magic when he is thinking. In his conversation card, Amari stated that he can see how stressed Tazaki is from the amount of pigeons flying out from his coat.
