Maki Tobaayu

Tobaye was involved in the smuggling of a Borginian cocoon to Los Angeles at the request of the Chief Justice, who wanted them to cure his son, who was inflicted with Incuritis. The plan failed; during the second segment of a Gavinners concert, Interpol agent Romein LeTouse confronted Daryan Crescend, causing Crescend to steal LeTouse's .45-caliber pistol and shoot LeTouse in the shoulder. Crescend then told Tobaye (by headset) to press a switch to burn Klavier Gavin's guitar, in which the cocoon was situated.

During the third segment of the concert, Apollo Justice and Ema Skye heard what they believed were gunshots, though they were actually firecrackers, and found LeTouse, who died of blood loss soon after. During the investigation, the body disappeared, only to be found at the pedestal with an unconscious Tobaye. Tobaye was accused of the murder.

To prove that Tobaye was not the killer, Justice convinced Tobaye to admit to his involvement in the smuggling. In Borginia, his crime would result in the death penalty, but in the U.S., that was not the case, so Tobaye would have to admit his crime in the U.S. to escape the death penalty.
