touma sou

The main character of the series is a genius detective who isn't particularly keen on venturing out to find wrongs to right. Instead, it's his occasional partner, Kana, who pulls him into these situations. As an introvert, he's renowned for his intelligence, though he doesn't enjoy widespread popularity. Sou is first introduced when Kana Mizuhara rescues him from an angry customer at a video arcade. He subsequently aids Kana's father in solving a murder case. Following this, Sou and Kana are frequently seen together, although she insists they aren't dating. Sou's background remains shrouded in mystery, and he appears to be a polymath with extensive knowledge across various fields. It's known that he graduated from MIT in the United States and initially planned to pursue graduate studies but decided to drop out for reasons unknown and joined Kana's high school. Despite his high intellect, Sou finds amusement in simple things like snowflakes, hinting at an unconventional childhood. During investigations, he becomes even more reserved, sometimes suggesting that he tackles cases for personal motivations, often prompted by Kana. Sou frequently bears the brunt of Kana's violent tendencies, getting hit on the head for reasons ranging from asking embarrassing questions in public to accidentally looking up her skirt. Despite his complaints when Kana drags him along unwillingly, he shows concern for her, often taking her with him when he travels. He also doesn't mind when people refer to Kana as his girlfriend. In addition to being a genius, Sou is wealthy and multilingual, speaking languages such as French. He has interests in archaeology and biology. He has a younger sister named Yuu, who is a linguistic prodigy but so absent-minded that she often forgets what she's supposed to be doing.
