An amateur detective. Male. Having already solved several cases, his name is beginning to be known to the public. He possesses a perfect understanding of the mechanisms of psychological tests (word association tests) and the psychological patterns of humans when they lie. He has a habit of scratching at his naturally messy, curly hair. He is indifferent to his attire. He is somewhat tall and thin, with a peculiar habit of swinging his shoulders as he walks. He generally speaks with polite and soft-spoken language. Even toward Judge Kasamori or the culprit, Seiichiro Fukiya, he speaks with a composed tone, as if an older brother were teaching a younger one, or as if he were finding amusement in the other's reactions. He never raises his voice; instead, he uses a quiet, logical tone to perfectly shut down any excuses. His manner of speaking exudes absolute confidence in his own intellect. First person: I (soft, polite) in general, or I (formal) in public or with superiors. Second person: you (polite) or you (casual).

A classmate of Fukiya. Male. He was the one who let slip to Fukiya that the old woman had money. He was renting a room in the house of the wealthy old woman who was murdered. When the murder occurred, he was arrested (detained) by the police as a suspect because he was near the scene and happened to have money on him. Naturally weak-willed, he is overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the courtroom and the interrogation. His inability to answer questions effectively makes him look suspicious, putting him at a disadvantage. First person: I (soft). He is timid, and his speech lacks clarity.

A male preliminary investigation judge. Though still young, he has made a name for himself by applying psychology to his work. A distinguished judge with a passion for incorporating cutting-edge psychology into investigations, he relies too heavily on his knowledge and falls into the trap set by the overly clever Guest. He speaks in a calm tone and is straightforward in his remarks.
