ooishi kuraudo

Age: Around 55 (the average retirement age in Japan)

Birthday: November 15

Kuraudo Oishi is a seasoned police investigator at Okinomiya. He is determined to unravel the mystery of the Hinamizawa murders before he retires, driven by personal motivations. His rough methods and the extreme measures he takes to solve the case often make him unpopular among the villagers, who see him as a troublemaker. Oishi approaches one of the main characters to serve as his informant across several story arcs and, unintentionally, sometimes triggers their paranoia.
