A 6th grader and one of the 20 participants forced into playing the Death Game. Gin tries to remain positive and optimistic despite his situation. While he warms up to people easily, he can occasionally be sarcastic or blunt to them. Gin is rarely melancholy. He gets attached to those he meets easily. He becomes especially attached to Sara, viewing her as a trustworthy and kind big sister figure. While he may be young, Gin always attempts his best to help the group by finding clues and remains strong despite the circumstances. 

He ends the majority of his sentences with "meow" and "woof", and tends to casually nickname those around him.

Joe Tazuna has always been the most selfless person Sara Chidouin has ever known, someone she could count on to take a bullet for her. But that trust is put to the test when they wake up restrained to some strange tables and discover Joe holds a key that can set only one of them free. Thus begins a mysterious and sadistic game that will require all of their wits and faith in each other to survive…!

"You will choose amongst yourselves with a majority vote. You are the ones to decide. Who is unnecessary, the most hateful, who is ok to die."
 
Out of concern for his best friend Sara's stalker issue, Joe decided to escort her home. However, as soon as they reached her house, they were attacked by someone and lost consciousness. When next Sara and Joe wake up, they find themselves in a strange facility. There, they find strange similarly kidnapped people. Including Joe and Sara, the 11 people-- despite being driven by suspicion-- cooperate, encourage each other, and become friends. While Joe protects Sara, he believes in everyone else and resolves to escape the facility. And yet, what awaited him was a Death Game where "Someone's death will be decided by everyone else."
