He was once a brilliant detective. He had a creed of wanting to be close to people and make them smile. He solved numerous cases, and it was thought that no one could match his intellect.
However, one day in his 30s, the forensic scientist, who was like a best friend to him, suddenly disappeared. "I want to make children smile," the forensic scientist said as he left. Afterward, multiple unsolved cases occurred—cases committed by his former supervisor. Tomoru, unable to solve them, became fixated on solving the cases, becoming an outcast from those around him.

Time passed, and in his 40s, Tomoru, now an outcast, gained a new partner after a long time. She was a young and brilliant female detective, much like he was in his past. As he unraveled the cases he was fixated on, he learned the truth about his partner. "The child he once comforted. She became like a stalker while worrying about the outcast Tomoru." That was the identity of his new partner. Although he resolved the unsolved cases and the connection with the forensic scientist through their cooperation, it further deepened his distrust of people.

Due to past trauma, he has come to believe that "in the end, people live to betray others," and he is somewhat cynical. However, he still holds the same creed as he did back then: "I want to be close to people," even after being betrayed.
