==Profile==
{{Sectionstub|reason=Missing profile details about anime and manga versions.}}
At the start of both the [[Septentrione]] and [[Triangulum]] arc, Daichi and the protagonist are preparing for college entrance exams before disaster strikes. His parents are unnamed, but Daichi himself mentions that he and the protagonist live in the same neighborhood.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Daichi:''' Since we're from the same neighborhood, um… I think your house is also…|title=Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker|developer=ATLUS|publisher=ATLUS U.S.A.|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref>

While generally cheerful and sociable with a joking demeanor, Daichi is a thoughtful and anxious individual who harbors concerns about his future after graduation and is uncertain about what he can do to help those around him. He ultimately grows into a more confident and determined individual who cherishes his bonds with his friends above all.

During the Septentrione arc, unlike his peers [[Io Nitta]] and the protagonist, Daichi is far more sensitive to the disaster's effects on Tokyo and laments the state of the world. He often comments on how abnormal the world has become and panics when strong foes appear. Even so, despite his fears and anxieties, Daichi is ultimately a courageous individual, notably defeating [[Dubhe]] by ramming a truck into it. In his Fate events, he grows to be more decisive, and thanks to [[Hinako Kujo]], by the end of the week works to try and solve issues on his own rather than relying on others.

During the Triangulum arc, Daichi retains his growth from his trials in the Septentrione arc and is determined not to go back to his indecisive, halfhearted self. His Fate episodes generally discuss helping other NPCs or how he is still trying to grow as an individual to find his place in the world. Near the end of the week, he realizes that his wholehearted and thoughtful efforts to help others is why people trust in him, and using that trust in order to accomplish greater things is not a weakness but something to be celebrated.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote='''Daichi:''' I called in some favors from the people at the shelter, a couple of the local SDF guys. Everyone wanted to pitch in, so word got around really quick. We found him in no time! So, in the end, I guess I had to depend on others the whole time. I knew there wasn't much I could do on my own. / '''Protagonist:''' That's your talent! / '''Daichi:''' Huh…? My talent? W-Wait… I'm not sure I get what you mean. / '''Protagonist:''' You put your all into everything you do. / '''Daichi:''' …! So… So they all helped me find the kid because… I've been doing so much to help people out? And that's why we were able to find him. I think I see what you mean. I… I get it now. Heh, I guess even I have a talent. Hahaha.|title=Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker|developer=ATLUS|publisher=ATLUS U.S.A.|platform=|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref>
