Mr. Sagami now works at the ES business department, and he is responsible for idol support. He usually assigns tasks to others to avoid trouble, but he's also serious at times and always cares for his students. Meanwhile, Mr. Sagami also works as a health teacher at Yumenosaki Academy. He was a super idol, so he also provides young idols with suggestions as an alumnus.

Jin is a tall man with long black, messy hair. His hair reaches the bottom of his neck, and is framed by messily cut bangs. He also has very light stubble on his chin that is sometimes shaven off depending on the occasion. His eyes are a light, dull brown color. He possesses a beauty mark under his right eye.

Casual

Jin wears a navy blue blazer over a white dress shirt with its first few buttons undone. This shirt is sloppily tucked into light gray slacks, which is complemented by a pair of black loafers. On his left wrist is a brown watch with silver plating.

In the winter, Jin puts on three layers: a muddy green baseball jacket on top, a gray sweatshirt visible under the open jacket, and a black collared shirt that barely peeks beyond the sweatshirt. He also wears a pair of dark blue pants that are cuffed at the bottom. Below, he wears a pair of deep brown ankle boots finished with black shoelaces. The same brown watch is worn, its view obscured as it's hidden underneath his left sleeve.

Teaching

When he is on campus at Yumenosaki, Jin wears a light blue dress shirt with only a few buttons done, causing his collar to crumple alongside a heavily loosened blue tie. Over this shirt is a wrinkled lab coat that sports a few stains near the bottom portion of the coat and holds three pens in its pockets. He rolls up his black slacks at the bottom and wears green house slippers. On his left wrist is a silver watch with square plating.

Ensemble Stars! Appearance

Jin is a tall man with long black, messy hair. His hair reaches the bottom of his neck, and he has messily cut bangs. He also has very light stubble on his chin. His eyes are a light, dull brown color. He also has a beauty mark under his right eye. He wears a lab coat that has a few stains on it, with white buttons and the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. The cuffs of his light blue shirt are partly visible under the sleeves. He has a red and a blue pen clipped on the coat's breast pocket. Under his coat, he wears an untucked light blue shirt with the top few buttons undone, and a sloppily tied blue tie. He wears black pants that are rolled up above the ankles, exposing his slightly hairy legs. He wears green slippers. He also wears a silver watch with a black face on his left arm.

After Jin graduated and became a teacher in the school he graduated from, his personality became more casual and lazy, which, while making his students have mixed opinions on him, often questioning his professionalism, did not affect his teaching ability. He acts rather familiar with the students, interacting with them more as equals, talking to them about his past, in some occasions using both that and his current state as a bad example. Despite being more easy-going in regards to his job, he genuinely cares for his students and wants the best for them. He doesn't defend himself much when faced with criticism or insults, and generally has a rather negative view of himself, mostly showing it through making self-deprecating jokes. In compensation, he often takes on more work than he can manage - even if he doesn't agree with it - to make himself useful or repay people he believes he owes. He prefers to take care of others, often giving up on himself for it. Both in being burnt out and dealing with his emotions, he's consistently shown to turn to alcohol, which has caused him problems both in relationships and work, as he has been consistently mentioned to drink at work. He doesn't try to hide it past avoiding issues with higher-ups, and in general prefers honest ways of doing things over schemes and things similar, advising the same to those around him.

Jin's family name, 佐賀美, contains the characters for "assistant" or "help" (佐) (Sa), "congratulations" or "joy" (賀) (ga), and "beauty" or "beautiful" (美) (mi). These characters are likely a nod to his supportive nature to his students, and could be a nod to his family's history of being doctors. His first name is much shorter, only containing the character 陣, meaning "camp" or "battle array".
