History[]
Ever since Omura got in trouble for using his own photo without permission, he and Omura have had a cat and dog relationship.
He cooperated with Itsuki to find out what Tachibana was investigating about smuggling , and helped Kindaichi escape from the scene of Katsura's murder.
At first glance, it seems that he doesn't trust Kindaichi, and he seems to be moving with the stance of "I don't know if Kindaichi was the culprit, but I will help you because it's Itsuki's request.".
However, contrary to his cold tone, he helped him escape from the scene of Katsura's murder by making him wear the staff jumper he had prepared, and handed him a bunch of photos taken on the day of Tachibana's murder to help him with his reasoning. When asked to lend him a sketch of the crime scene that Kindaichi had seen, he readily agreed, and in the Domoto drama version, he brought bananas. most cooperative in. Hariu was the first to offer his cooperation when Itsuki was forced to kneel down. He seems to have a lot of trust in Itsuki, as he helps Kindaichi just by saying, "Because it's Itsuki's request."
In fact, it was thanks to the photographs and schematics that Kindaichi gave him that he was able to find the evidence that identified the secret room tricks and culprits.
In the drama version (Domoto version), Masaaki Satake, a former martial artist, plays the role, and for that reason, he is a big eater with a good physique, and his impression is quite different from the original, such as not wearing glasses.
