Overview[edit]

Kindaichi mysteries are whodunnit stories featuring (usually multiple) gruesome murders, often with a supernatural tinge. They are typically of the style of John Dickson Carr, and frequently feature a locked room mystery^[7] or other seemingly 'impossible' crimes, such as a murder occurring when all surviving suspects have (apparently) airtight alibis.

A notable distinction of The Kindaichi Case Files is that the killers are not depicted as psychopathic murderers and the murders are never committed for financial reasons alone. The identified killers all have deep rooted problems, often involving great emotional trauma through the greed or thoughtlessness of others, as their reasons for committing the murder(s). Thus the killers are often portrayed as sympathetic figures, as opposed to cold, calculating killers in some other mystery series.

In addition to this, after being revealed the criminal usually attempts suicide.^[19]

Characters[edit]

Hajime Kindaichi (金田一 一Kindaichi Hajime)

Voiced by: Taiki Matsuno and Kappei Yamaguchi (Anime film #1 only)

Played by: Tsuyoshi Domoto (1995 show), Jun Matsumoto (2001 show), Kazuya Kamenashi, Ryosuke Yamada

17-year-old Fudo High School student Hajime Kindaichi is unmotivated, lazy, and a little lecherous, much to the exasperation of childhood friend Miyuki Nanase. However, only a few people see his great intelligence and deductive prowess by his -180 IQ, possibly inherited from his grandfather, private detective Kosuke Kindaichi. He is also an accomplished sleight of hand artist. Despite his clumsiness and myriad other flaws, he is a loyal friend and a first-rate detective.

20 years later, he became a PR firm manager, quitting detective work. But crimes never retire. So he was stuck into a case he solved many years ago.

Miyuki Nanase (七瀬 美雪Nanase Miyuki)

Voiced by: Akiko Nakagawa

Played by: Rie Tomosaka (1995 show), Anne Suzuki (2001 show), Juri Ueno, Haruna Kawaguchi

The childhood best friend and next door neighbor of Hajime; many question why a model student like Miyuki is friends with a slacker like him. Deep down inside, Miyuki feels Hajime is not an idiot, and they seem to have a love that neither has yet fully expressed. She possesses remarkable logic and perception, although she is obviously not as gifted as he is. Miyuki is the president of Fudo High's student council.

20 years later, she became a flight attendant. She connects to Hajime via cellphone.

Isamu Kenmochi (剣持 勇Kenmochi Isamu)

Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi and Isao Natsuyagi (Anime film only)

Played by: Masato Furuoya (1995 show), Masaya Kato, Tomomitsu Yamaguchi

A Tokyohomicide police inspector who met Kindaichi on his first case, and was so impressed that he has lent the youngster his unquestioning support ever since.

20 years later, he retired, but had contact with Hajime.

Kengo Akechi (明智 健悟Akechi Kengo)

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa

Played by: Mansaku Ikeuchi

An extremely intelligent, elite-level police detective (superintendent), who is Kenmochi's supervisor. He is an arrogant and snobbish character that becomes a rival to Kindaichi in crime-solving. However, Akechi (indeliberately) not only helped Kindaichi solve the case, but also aided him out of trouble. His relationship to Kindaichi is abrasive at the least, but they have an unspoken mutual respect for each other's abilities. He often compares the crimes in Japan to his experience in Los Angeles. He is proficient in English and French.

20 years later, he became a Police Commissioner.

Ryuta Saki (佐木 竜太Saki Ryūta) and Ryuji Saki (佐木 竜二Saki Ryūji)

In 'The Santa Slayings', his tape recorded a critical piece of evidence and he was killed for this. In 'Kindaichi the Killer', his younger brother, Ryuji Saki, who very much resembled his elder brother, approached Kindaichi at a party, telling him his elder brother told him in a dream that Kindaichi would be in trouble. Soon after, Ryuji helped Kindaichi avoid a murder trap. Afterwards, Ryuji claims himself as Kindaichi's assistant and sometimes really helps Kindaichi in solving cases. In the anime series, Ryuta survived the attack in 'The Santa Slayings' story arc and Ryuji did not appear later on.

Reika Hayami (速水 玲香Hayami Reika)

Voiced by: Mayumi Iizuka

A famous actress and singer, first appearing in 'Death TV', who initially appeared to be arrogant but turned out to be weak and desperate for protection. After this case, Reika has had a crush on Kindaichi and sent her only Valentine's Day gift, a heart-shaped chocolate, to him without revealing her name. Since then, she and Miyuki seem to be rivals over Kindaichi. In 'Playing the Fool', Reika's past, that even she lost memory of, was revealed. In 'Reika's Kidnapping', it was revealed that Reika's real mother is veteran actress Keiko Mitamura, but throughout the series Reika never knew it, and it was a secret that only Keiko and Kindaichi know.

Inspector Kenmochi nicknames her 'Chibikin' (meaning little Kindaichi).

Yoichi Takato (高遠 遙一Takatō Yōichi)

Voiced by: Kenichi Ono

Played by: Hiroki Narimiya

Kindaichi's nemesis, also known as 'The Puppeteer From Hell' (地獄の傀儡師Jigoku no Kugutsushi). He is known to be extremely intelligent, considers himself to be the evil twin of Kindaichi, and describes their relationship as parallel lines. He is the only son of Reiko Chikamiya, an internationally known magician, who in turn drove Takato to be a magician himself. What he uncovered about the murder of his mother triggered what he is today. A twisted, cold-hearted magician who considers his devilish setups for the perfect crime as masterpieces, and tolerates no mistakes from the people he uses as his puppets.

20 years later, he called the trio on his cell.
