Apparently, his name is Takizawa Akira. He knows so because his passport has that name written on it.

These individuales were selected to carry out a plan intended to "save" Japan.
This mysterious group ,in which Takizawa is a member, is known as Seleção. Every member has a cellphone that has a huge amount of digital cash on it.This digital cash must be used in the most convenient manner in order to attain their goal, saving Japan. The 12 member of Seleção can buy and ask for whatever they want. They also have an assistant who is known as Juiz. She makes sure that the Selecao member's orders are fulfilled.
