Junichiro Tokuoka was the Director of the Japanese language version of The World.
Localizing The World
Tokuoka is renowned as an eccentric lead programmer. His team's work schedule revolved around his bizarre sleeping habits, termed "Tokuoka Time." When he woke up was "morning;" when he had his first meal was "noon;" when he went out to drink was "evening." The team worked according to Tokuoka Time regardless of what the actual time was. Although his work would lead to success, he was soon discarded after The World's completion.
Quest for Truth
Tokuoka blamed himself and CCCorp for not realizing the flaw within The World sooner and began investigating the cause behind the comatose victims. Although CCCorp threatened him not to pursue the subject, he did so. Tokuoka knows that CCCorp is as aware of the flaw as he is, but without proof, he has no case.
Tokuoka's investigation led him to Mai Minase, a girl who fell into a coma due to the game yet awoke shortly after. Her help allowed him to experience firsthand the power within the game. During his time with Mai he had the chance to search Tomonari Kasumi's account data and stumbled across the users Yukichin (Yuki Aihara) and Kyo (Kyoko Tohno) and decided to contact and inform them of the situation.
When Tokuoka met with Kyoko to discuss the The Epitaph of Twilight, he was approached by Helba's subordinate, Bith the Black. Bith revealed his knowledge of the inner workings of The World and what Harald hid within it. He then asked for Tokuoka's assistance in freeing the Ultimate AI from the grasp of the wayward Morganna. Tokuoka agreed to this.
It was due to the combined efforts of Tokuoka and Mai that the server in which Kite's party battled Morganna was successfully replaced, allowing them to continue the battle and eventually win. Although Tokuoka would be captured during his escape, he would walk away the victor; Tokuoka had in his position the data the linked The World to the coma incidents, and he now had a chance against CCCorp.
