According to his in-game profile, his favorite alcoholic beverage is cognac, and he drives a green Mini Cooper. Other recurring characters include: Yulia Marks (known in Japan as Yoko Misono), Jake's assistant, and Scott Kingsley (known in Japan as Sanzo Kumano), the inspector of the Aspicio police.

These 4 cases are also released in Nintendo DS as part of the Jake Hunter Memories of the Past collection.
