王帝君

Gender: Male
Height: ??
Occupation: Ruler of Zheng Fa

Almost victim of case AAI2-1.

Personality: A bold and authoritative ruler who pushes his weight around and likes giving dramatic speeches.

Spoiler: GK2-1
Underneath it all, Teikun is a scardy-cat who can only pretend to be the lion his people need.


Misc Facts: He's so buff because the creators wanted him to be blatantly bigger and tougher-looking than Lang.

Friends and Family: No known family, but his most trusted bodyguards are Naito and Tojiro.

Name Origin:
English
: ??

Japanese: His name is made up of the kanji for king, emperor, and ruler.


Background: Teikun came overseas in order to strengthen diplomatic ties between two nations, and also as thanks to the prosecutor's office (namely, Edgeworth) for his efforts in AAI which were of great benefit to Zheng Fa.

Spoiler: GK2-1
Following the chaos in Zheng Fa caused by Alba's crime ring, Teikun was eager to get his country back on track and show himself off as a powerful and capable leader. Unfortunately, he wasn't that, so he decided to fake an assassination attempt on him in order to appear stronger than he really was. Knowing that his lead bodyguard, Tojiro, would never agree to such a stunt, he instead entrusted his plans to Naitou, and realized too late he was not a man to be trusted.

Occupation: Bodyguard

Witness of GK2 case 1, one of Teikun's bodyguards.

Personality:

Misc Facts: Has a great fondness for chess and fancies himself as a knight, protecting his king.

Friends and Family: Works for Teikun.

Name Origin:
English
:

Japanese: "Naito" comes from "Knight," as in the chess piece, and his first name includes the kanji for "horse."


Background:  Naitou has served as Teikun's bodyguard for a long time, and though not being originally from Zheng Fa he earned Teikun's trust and (we're told) saved his life on several occasions. 

Spoiler: GK2-1
However, when professional assassin Shelly de Killer infiltrated Teikun's bodyguards and nearly accomplished his goal of killing the president, Naitou was the first to be incapacitated and was of no help to his leader. It was head of security Tojiro that wounded and thwarted de Killer, inflaming Naitou's already long-burning jealousy. Later, Teikun approached Naitou with plans for a fake assassination attempt on his own life, as a means of bolstering his public image. Though Naitou was glad to have been trusted over Tojiro with the endeavor, he could sense that Teikun was wary of him, which only made him more bitter. He decided to use the fake assassination to carry out his real murder of Tojiro, thus securing himself as Teikun's top bodyguard.
 


 

Mikiko Hayami
速水ミキコ

Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: ??
Occupation: Reporter

Appears in GK2 case 1

Personality: Mikiko is your typical hot-blooded Osakan with a dash of genki-girl thrown in.  She is extremely exuberant about her job and is always asking questions, though sometimes her temper gets the better of her.  Strives for the big scoop!

Misc Facts: ??

Friends and Family: Claims Lotta Hart as a mentor.

Name Origin:
English
: ??

Japanese: ??

Background: Mikiko came to Teikun's speech hoping to pick up on a big news scoop!

 

Spoiler: GK2-1
Instead, she was roped into Naitou's fake assassination plot. Hoping to generate some real news, she agreed to point her laser pointer at Teikun to mimic a rifle's laser scope. She then dumped the evidence and hid in the crowd. That should have been the end of her involvement, but when a real dead body came on the scene, Naitou turned on her and tried to get her accused of the murder he committed. Lucky for her, Edgeworth was on the scene.
