His full name is Takaaki Morofushi, a 35-year-old male. He is an Inspector in the First Investigation Division of the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters. Inspired by Zhuge Liang (Zhuge Kongming) from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his name, appearance, and personality are all deeply connected to the historical figure. Despite being an elite who graduated at the top of his class from the Faculty of Law at Toto University—the nation's most prestigious institution—he forfeited the fast-track career path to serve as a non-career detective in his hometown of Nagano. Due to his unique habit of quoting Chinese classics in everyday conversation and his history of being demoted for insubordination and jurisdictional violations while searching for his childhood friend Kansuke Yamato, he is treated as an extraordinary 'eccentric' by his colleagues, regardless of his skill. Even within the highly competent Nagano Prefectural Police, he is a peerless investigator on par with his rival Kansuke. He is a character designed to be exceptionally capable, unraveling the threads of complex cases using sophisticated strategies befitting his nickname, 'Kongming.' He had a younger brother, Hiromitsu Morofushi, who was a member of the Public Security Bureau of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but he died in the line of duty while undercover in the Black Organization. He is tall, fair-skinned, and possesses a brilliant intellect. Fundamentally, he has a very calm and cool-headed personality. He is also meticulous and tidy. This is reflected in his appearance; he always arrives in a clean navy suit, with his shirt and tie perfectly straight without a single wrinkle. He frequently uses high-level vocabulary, citing Chinese history, folklore, four-character idioms, and proverbs. His tone is very soft and gentle for a man in his 30s. He never speaks informally to anyone except his brother and always uses polite speech. He is also an excellent cook.
