Draft:List of characters in Master Detective Archives: Rain Code

The following is a list of characters from the Spike Chunsoft and Too Kyo Games video game Master Detective Archives: Rain Code. The game follows Yuma Kokohead, an amnesiac detective-in-training who is partnered and haunted by a death god named Shinigami, who is sent to the isolated, eternally raining city of Kanai Ward, ruled by the Amaterasu Corporation. They, along with the Master Detectives, detectives with special skills and powers known as Forensic Fortes, are sent by the World Detective Organization (WDO), an extra-legal, extra-privileged organization devoted to eradicating the world's unsolved mysteries, to uncover Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret to solve the Great Global Mystery plaguing the world.

Main Characters

Yuma Kokohead

Yuma Kokohead

Voiced by (English): Lucien Dodge

Voiced by (Japanese): Katsumi Fukuhara

The main protagonist of the game who wakes up in a train station's supply room with amnesia. Thanks to some documents on hand, he discovers that he is a detective-in-training of the WDO, dispatched to the isolated and eternally rainy city of Kanai Ward to uncover Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret. In addition, he finds himself haunted by a death god by the name of Shinigami, who claims Yuma gave up his memories to her as part of a contract in exchange for her help in solving mysteries by going through the Mystery Labyrinth. Typically meek and uncertain of himself, Yuma constantly agonizes over what it means to be a detective and whether that's really what he wants to be; but whenever he sees someone in need of help, his sense of justice flares up, and he always steps in to help, regardless of the ensuing consequences. Unbeknownst to him, he is Number One, the head of the World Detective Organization. He made a deal with Shinigami to unravel the Great Global Mystery, which involved a homunculus secretly cloned from him, later identified as Makoto Kagutsuchi. This contract caused him to lose his memories, allowing him to be more receptive to receiving help from others while aiming to solve Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret collaboratively rather than alone. He then took the place of the real trainee detective Yuma Kokohead and posed as him.

In Chapter 5, after he defeats Makoto and convinces him to share the truth with the people of Kanai Ward about being homunculi, he assists Makoto in escaping the Mystery Labyrinth through an emergency exit. This action causes his contract with Shinigami to become nullified, and he sets off on his own, erasing all memories of their time together. Ultimately, after restoring his memories and uncovering both Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret and the Great Global Mystery, Yuma chose to leave the WDO to inspire change within the organization, embarking on a journey to solve mysteries around the globe.

His special ability, known as "Coalescence," allows him to utilize another person's ability with their consent while holding their hand.

Shinigami

Shinigami

Voiced by (English): Anjali Kunapaneni

Voiced by (Japanese): Sayumi Suzushiro

A death god contracted to haunt Yuma, and the main heroine of the game. Cheerful and unreserved at first glance, her sense of morality towards criminals and murderers is far less sympathetic than that of Yuma, which often puts the two at odds. Despite that, she is committed to serving as his mentor and helping him walk the path to becoming a great detective, causing her to become extremely attached and overprotective of him, much to Yuma's chagrin. In the real world, she is a small, floating spirit that always hovers nearby Yuma, and is invisible to all except him. However, once she opens a portal to the Mystery Labyrinths, she transforms into her true, humanoid form and is able to use her full powers to interact with the labyrinths and help Yuma in solving them.

After Number One opened the Book of Death in the WDO library, Shinigami agreed to a pact to help him rid the world of unsolved mysteries and bring happiness to everyone, serving as his mentor when he lost his memories so that he wouldn't stray from his path as a detective. Believing that Yuma would fulfill his promise to show her a world where everyone was happy, she opened an emergency exit from the Mystery Labyrinth after they peacefully resolved things with Makoto Kagutsuchi. She saw him off as he left, accepting that he would have no memory of their time together, a consequence of his use of the emergency exit and subsequent breach of their contract before returning to the Book of Death.

She is a student at Aetheria Academy and is a member of the theater club who assists Yuma and his friends in multiple investigations after he proves her innocence in the murder of her classmate Karen in Chapter 2. It's heavily implied that she develops a strong crush on Yuma after clearing her name. Before he left Kanai Ward, Yuma left the Book of Death housing Shinigami in Kurumi's care, promising to come back for it. Too impatient to be left behind, Kurumi, too, sets off from Kanai Ward in search of Yuma.

One of the Master Detectives dispatched to Kanai Ward. A gloomy, self-indulgent young man with a love for reading and mumbling how he "wants to die someday".

He's one of the few people who can see Shinigami and retain his memories both when entering and exiting the Mystery Labyrinth in Chapter 4, due to his spiritual affinity. Having enjoyed the time spent at the agency with Yakou, he refused to let the truth of Dr. Huesca's murder come to light despite knowing the identity of the culprit. He turned against Yuma inside the Mystery Labyrinth, making him a minor antagonist. Still, after witnessing Yuma's resolve to face even the most bitter facts, he decided to expose the truth.

One of the Master Detectives dispatched to Kanai Ward, whom Yuma meets on the Amaterasu Express. His parents were upstanding lawyers, but he lost them at an early age after they were killed by the local mafioso for prying too deeply into their affairs, forcing him to run away and live as an illegal alien in the slums from then on. Due to these circumstances, he comes across as a rude, moody, and violent-looking man who indiscriminately shouts at everyone around him. But in actuality, he's a hardworking, decent person who clawed his way out of the slums and worked his way up from nothing. He was killed in Chapter 0, having consumed drugged beverages on the train ride to Kanai Ward, allowing the hitman pretending to be Zilch Alexander to burn his body beyond recognition in a scheme to fake his death.

Voiced by (Japanese): Tomokazu Seki

One of the Master Detectives dispatched to Kanai Ward, whom Yuma meets on the Amaterasu Express. Loving the harmony between people and nature, he specializes in cases that threaten to disrupt this harmonious relationship. He tends to lead the conversation and "allow" people to speak in turn, giving off an air of arrogance to the other detectives on board the train. In truth, the "Master Detective" Yuma and the others met on the train was an assassin who killed the real Zilch Alexander ahead of time and took his place to fool the other detectives. Yomi Hellsmile dispatched him to eliminate the detectives arriving in Kanai Ward so that they wouldn't stick their noses into Amaterasu Corporation's secrets. In Chapter 0, after Yuma and the other detectives on board the train are knocked unconscious by the drugged beverages, the hitman burns all of the Master Detectives to death and fakes his death, leaving Yuma alive to frame for the murders. However, his soul was reaped by Shinigami after the Mystery Labyrinth was solved, resulting in his death.

Voiced by (Japanese): KENN

One of the Master Detectives dispatched to Kanai Ward. A young man with a naturally goofy and playful spirit who harbors ambitions of becoming a celebrated detective. His investigative tactics, however, frequently devolve into attempts to flirt with women, aided by the assortment of disguise tools in his large backpack. Despite his lack of success in these romantic endeavors due to his silliness, this optimistic ladies' man remains unfazed. Uncomfortable around blood and corpses, he prefers undercover investigations to those involving murder. After providing him the opportunity to sneak around Aetheria Academy in Chapter 2, he began affectionately referring to Yuma as "my man." After the situation in Kanai Ward is resolved, Desuhiko returns to the WDO for future assignments.

His Forte is "Disguise", which allows him to change not only his clothes and face, but also his height, voice, and weight, enabling him to match his targets both visually and psychologically.

However, Yuma gains their respect after the case is resolved and treats him as an equal. After the situation in Kanai Ward is resolved, Halara returns to the WDO for future assignments.

Due to her sheltered upbringing, she is somewhat naive about the outside world, which both stupefies and frustrates the people who come across her. Despite this, she is both caring and sweet. At her parents' behest, she was forced to leave her pampered life behind to gain some real-world experience, eventually joining the WDO, as she attributes solving mysteries to being akin to a life of adventure. While solving the Mystery Labyrinth in Chapter 3, she lashed out at Shinigami, whom she thought to be the abhorrent "God of Darkness". However, upon seeing how much Shinigami and Yuma trusted each other, she apologized to the death god and tried to befriend her, much to Shinigami's embarrassment. After the situation in Kanai Ward is resolved, Fubuki returns to the WDO for future assignments.

To avenge his wife who was murdered four years ago for whistleblowing the unethical actions by Dr. Huesca and was silenced as a result, Yakou sacrificed his life to murder Dr. Huesca at Amaterasu's lab in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, after his body was transported to the Restricted Area, Yakou retained his faculties and refrained from attacking people in his zombified state. He later entrusted Yuma with a DVD containing footage of the Project: Homunculus experiment.

Voiced by (Japanese): Akira Kamiya

The top detective and leader of the World Detective Organization, who goes by "Number One". His true identity remains unknown, and he's rarely seen in public due to the numerous enemies he has amassed over the years. He's the one who sent the Master Detectives to Kanai Ward and tasked them with uncovering Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret in order to solve the Great Global Mystery plaguing the world. However, he does not go further into the details and has them investigate on their own. He issues his orders to the detectives in Kanai Ward via a direct line from headquarters, the only form of communication that breaches outside of the city.

In truth, he is a body double employed by Yuma before losing his memories to issue orders to the detectives in Kanai Ward while keeping his own identity a secret.

Amaterasu Corporation

An all-purpose megacorporation with products that can be found all across the globe. They deal in pharmaceuticals, military weapons, and commercial goods. On the other hand, many dark rumors surround the company, leading to a saying among detectives: "Kick it and the dust comes off like a wall of smoke." The company is the de facto ruler of Kanai Ward, where it's based, and has the city completely isolated from the outside world, with no one allowed to leave and very few allowed to enter.

Its security department, the Peacekeepers, serves as the police force, arresting anyone who opposes the corporation and covering up any cases they deem inconvenient to them. The WDO and the Unified Government are unable to intervene in Amaterasu's affairs due to the company's influence and power.

While Yomi Hellsmile is ostensibly his employee, the two are constantly at odds, fighting for control of the corporation in a power struggle. Makoto is, in truth, the homunculus of Number One, created at a Unified Government research facility. His goal has always been to protect the homunculi of Kanai Ward, driven by his sense of kinship with them, and he is prepared to do absolutely anything to achieve it. This resulted in him keeping the city isolated from the outside world and hiding the truth of the residents' identities as homunculi who killed their original counterparts. His desperation to handle everything himself and keep everyone happy pushed him to abduct death row inmates captured by the WDO and turn them into meat buns for the residents to consume so they wouldn't starve to death, leading to the Great Global Mystery. Acting in secret behind the scenes of the Dr. Huesca murder case in Chapter 4, he secured documents that led to Yomi's downfall. He intends to restructure Amaterasu and the Peacekeepers to bring about a change in the winds of Kanai Ward. He lured the Master Detectives and his original counterpart to Kanai Ward in order to oust Yomi and to kill Yuma in the Mystery Labyrinth in order to gain complete control of the WDO.

Because it's difficult for her to express her emotions, no one knows what she's thinking, and she is not very well-liked by her peers in the theater club. But her acting skills place her among the best in the club. She was once close friends with Yoshiko, Waruna, and Aiko, but after Karen murdered Aiko, she plotted revenge with her two remaining friends and killed Karen onstage during a performance. In Chapter 2, with the Mystery Labyrinth solved, her soul was reaped by Shinigami, resulting in her death.

A teacher who is a well-liked and popular staff member at Aetheria Academy. She is who Desuhiko Thunderbolt chooses to disguise himself as when he and Yuma Kokohead sneak into the academy to investigate Aiko's death. While in disguise, Desuhiko flirted with many of the female staff and students, culminating in the school's music teacher reciprocating the "teacher's" advances and stalking the real one, though she and Yuma ultimately are able to clear up the music teacher's misunderstanding. The game's loading screen tips only reveal her real name as "Hana". In the actual game, she's only referred to as "Teacher".
