Judge

The "Judge" refers to the character who presides (as judge) over most of the cases in the Ace Attorney series. He is naive and gullible, but he is said to give the correct verdict without fail. He tends to change his mind very easily, a trait that Phoenix Wright uses to his advantage. However, he is also very easily wooed by female witnesses such as Dahlia Hawthorne, which allows guilty female witnesses to almost be let off the hook several times.

It often seems that the Judge is more likely to side with the prosecution than the defense and to prefer Miles Edgeworth over Phoenix Wright, but this ultimately does not affect his verdict.

The Judge is very out of touch with technology. For example, he is known not to know the meaning of e-mail and he refers to old-fashioned things such as the Gramophone. He also has never heard of nail polish, leaving him puzzled as to why his wife's nails are red.
