Main characters
Ryuu Amakusa51 fan favoritesExternal profileRyuu is very intelligent, and his dark background somehow links him to the organization known as Pluto. When his parents died, Pluto took care of him. As a child he was never allowed to socialize with others. He often viewed his house as more of a prison than a home. Even with his cold personality he is still friendly with the other members of Class Q, and shares a special link with Kyuu since he was the first one who could understand him. (Source: Wikipedia)
Kyuu Renjo38 fan favoritesExternal profileA bright, sweet and optimistic boy who is also a precocious detective. In real life, keeps saying the wrong things and embarrassing himself. Otherwise, he is considered to be the team's leader and is known for his logical explanations of cases. He has a good sense of judgment regarding to people (when everyone distrusted Ryu, he expressed his open appreciation for him) but often says things that infuriate Megumi. Kyuu had been a single child of a single parent (his mother) for as long as he could remember. He didn't have a father, but there's a certain man who had been acting as his mentor when he was little. When he was six years old, he was kidnapped and held as a hostage by some criminals, but his mentor rescued him. In reality he was none other than Kyu's father (Satoru Renjo, Morihiko Dan's very best partner). Realizing the high risk of being a detective, Satoru formerly married Kyu's mother in secret to keep his new family safe. After Renjou's death, Kyu's mother hid the truth from Kyu for years, trying to shield him from the danger that the life of a detective is always in; after he was accepted in the DDS, Mrs. Renjou changed her mind and supported him fully.

Megumi Minami15 fan favoritesExternal profileCommonly referred by her friends as just Megu, she has a unique talent of having a photographic memory ("Shunkan Kioku" in Japanese), allowing her to memorize a scene instantly. This allows her to notice if a piece of evidence has been moved or is missing. It is believed that she has somewhat of a crush on Ryu, but it is also known that she has taken a liking to Kyu as well. She studied in the Tokyo National Talent Development Research Center alongside Yutaka Saburomaru. She lives with her older sister Akane (who attends a local university) as her parent work abroad.

Kintarou Tooyama5 fan favoritesExternal profileKinta is the son of a well respected police officer, but moved out due to a family dispute. He now lives alone and works part-time as a mascot on the seafront. Kinta is the strongest member of the class, having had lessons in judo, kendo and karate. He also has superb senses, especially his eyesight and sense of smell. Kinta often mocks Kazuma's high tech approach to detective work, preferring instead to rely on his "instinct". His tough personality as well as his excellent senses have been very useful at times. He is very strong and sometimes hits either Kazuma or Kyu. He also repeatedly tries to pick up girls (with little success). (Source: Wikipedia)
Kazuma Narusawa1 fan favoritesExternal profileKazuma is a rich, well known computer games programmer. He often helps to find information on his laptop computer, which he carries around with him all the time. At first after learning that he was a member of Class Q (which at the time was believed to be the lowest) he tried to get transferred in Class A. However, when his classmates came to his aid when he was in trouble he changed his mind, preferring to stay with his friends. Kazuma has a friendly rivalry with Kinta due to their different approaches to detective work. Kazuma and Kinta are often the butt of each others jokes. He is a very smart prodigy, but he can't get right answers without his "lucky" hat as implied in episode 2; he seems to get over this flaw by the end of the TV series. (Source: Wikipedia)
