“ | I've read all of Susato's reports. I'm well aware of your extraordinary talents. And having seen you in action with my own eyes earlier today, there's no question: You, Naruhodo, are precisely the man our country needs. | „ |
~ Mikotoba, informing Naruhodo about Japan's great need for excellent defense attorneys. |

His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General/Background[]
- Before the events of the story, he worked at a hospital to help others alongside John H. Wilson and Courtney Sithe and aided Herlock with his cases.
- He also worked closely with Herlock Sholmes in some cases.
- When one of his friends, Genshin Asogi was scheduled for an execution, he and Seishiro Jigoku attempted to petition the Government in order to get Asogi released but Asogi refused to let them do so for an unknown reason.
- The day before his execution, Genshin requested Mikotoba to head to a specific address and help Klint Van Zieks's wife, Lady Baskerville give birth to her child due to her being in hiding. Yujin successfully helped her deliver her child, although he was unable to save her himself, with him showing heavy remorse for not being able to save her.
- He then took her child to go and live with Herlock Sholmes as he could not take her back to Japan with him without disclosing what parentage she came from, before leaving London a month later.
- After Genshin's wife died from the sheer grief and stress over losing her husband, Mikotoba took the Asogi family's only son, Kazuma Asogi in to live with him and his daughter, Susato Mikotoba and encouraged them to choose their own paths in life.
The Great Ace Attorney: Adventure[]
- During Naruhodo's trial for the murder of John H. Wilson, he asked Susato to retrieve an item from the Imperial Yumei University that he believed would be important for Naruhodo and Asogi to win, which turned out to be the curare research notes written by Jezaille Brett, which proved to be a very crucial piece of evidence in proving Naruhodo's innocence and Brett being the true killer.
- He faked being sick and called Susato back to Japan to attempt delaying the discovery of Iris' true parenthood before its due time.
The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve[]
- When Susato's best friend, Rei Membami was accused of murder, Mikotoba helped Susato by setting up a plan of having Susato disguise herself as a male attorney so she would be able to defend her best friend and he informed the judge of the case, Seishiro himself that "Ryutaro Naruhodo" was actually Susato in disguise to make sure that the case would go smoothly and aided Susato in proving Rei's innocence by acting as her co-counsel and giving important information.
- When Ryunosuke and Susato are unable to get information from Barry Caidin, Mikotoba writes them a letter of introduction to get him to talk to them since he and Barry were acquaintances.
- He requests for Naruhodo to return with him to Japan in order to use his talent for the greater good as Japan was severely lacking in defense attorney's and it's legal system was flawed, but he allowed Naruhodo to make his own choice as he understood it was a big decision to leave London and all his friends behind.
- After Jigoku attempted to flee London to avoid testifying for Tobias Gregson's murder, Mikotoba deduced that Jigoku must have taken the S.S. Grouse boat in order to escape, with him and Sholmes eventually finding him and bringing him back to London to give testimony using a subpoena from Kazuma after Jigoku refused to listen to Sholmes's comments, along with finding a bullet hole in his cabin and a fragment of Gregson's watch, which proved to be valuable evidence for Ryunosuke.
- Due to Van Zieks case seemingly being connected to 'The Professor Killings' from ten years ago, Yujin testified about the details of Klint Van Zieks autopsy report in the court and also delivered the third page of Genshin Asogi's will, which was crucial in finding Klint Van Zieks will inside of Kazuma's sword, which was a very important piece of evidence that revealed Stronghart for blackmailing Klint Van Zieks into killing the previous Lord Chief Justice to usurp his position and Klint's previous mentor.
- After Naruhodo accepted his request to return to Japan and start a career there, he supported his decision and made preparations for the two to return to Japan.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He fails the admirable standard to Herlock himself, as Herlock had a more important and direct role in defeating Stronghart, along with having more admirable actions like saving himself, Naruhodo, Susato, Gregson, Gina, Drebber and Toby the dog from dying and delivering the cat flapomat to Naruhodo, which allowed him to prove Gina's innocence in court.
