Reiji Mitsurugi

Earning the title of 'Genius Prosecutor' at just 24 years old, Reiji Mitsurugi stands as both a childhood friend and the ultimate courtroom rival of Phoenix Wright. Once molded by his mentor Manfred von Karma into an obsessive pursuit of flawless victory records, a series of fierce confrontations with Wright—culminating in the unraveling of the DL-6 Incident—forced him to fundamentally rethink his role. He emerged transformed: no longer a prosecutor defined by winning at all costs, but a guardian of justice driven by an unyielding commitment to uncovering the truth.
