Mikado appears to be a cunning and deceitful person, showing little care for betraying Hajime during the first trial. The other students tend to grow annoyed or even angry at his actions most of the time, However, he appears to care for the other participants during the early stages of the Killing Game, evident when he prepared food for them all after they showed distaste in what was currently being served. Mikado seems to take some sort of pleasure from others' reactions toward him.
