10. Yutaka Saburōmaru
Yutaka Saburōmaru is an arrogant student at the University of Tokyo. He considers himself superior to others, which makes him quite annoying.
Although Yutaka has an IQ of 180, he seems less skilled at solving puzzles. When he joined DDS, he was in Class A until he was eventually transferred to Class B.
9. Shino Katagiri
Shino Katagiri serves as Morihiko Dan's trusted personal assistant. She is beautiful and always dressed neatly. She also possesses detective skills.
Katagiri and Nanami were among the first batch of students at DDS. They were personally trained by Morihiko Dan. Because of this, they have a very close relationship.
8. Kōtarō Nanami
Like Katagiri, Kōtarō Nanami is Dan's trusted right-hand man. He specializes in disguise. He is often assigned by Dan to teach and supervise the children in Class Q.
Kōtarō has a friendly nature and is easy to get along with. He enjoys showing Class Q new tricks. However, he can be serious in critical situations.
7. Morihiko Dan
Morihiko Dan is known as a brilliant detective and has solved numerous crimes. Before founding DDS, he had joined the police headquarters. However, he had an accident that left him confined to a wheelchair.
Despite this, Dan decided not to give up and continued to think ahead. He founded a school that could provide a platform for young detectives with potential and who were even more accomplished than he was.
6. Yukihira Sakurako
Yukihira Sakurako is known as a renowned detective novelist. Initially, she was not interested in becoming a detective because she aspired to be a great writer. However, that changed.
Yukihira decided to join DDS until she reached Class A. She has a highly competitive nature and refuses to lose to anyone. Furthermore, she often feels proud because she is Dan's nephew.
5. Kazuma Narusawa
Kazuma Narusawa is a highly talented game programmer from a wealthy family. He often provides assistance by gathering important information through his laptop.
Kazuma felt disappointed when he first arrived in Class Q. He had the desire to move to Class A. However, he abandoned that plan after he felt comfortable with the children in Class Q.
4. Kintarō Tōyama
Kintarō Tōyama, also known as Kinta, is the son of a respected police officer. He decided to live independently due to family problems. He also works part-time jobs to earn money.
In terms of ability, Kinta is considered the strongest member of Class Q. He possesses several martial arts skills, such as judo, kendo, and karate. He also has a highly sensitive instinct and sense of smell.
3. Megumi Minami
Megumi Minami is usually called "Meg" by her friends in Class Q. She has strong feelings for Kyū and Ryū. However, only Kyū shows any interest in Meg.
Meg has a unique ability called photographic memory, which allows her to recall scenes. Thanks to this ability, Meg can notice small details that might otherwise be lost or overlooked.
2. Kyū Renjō
Kyū Renjō is a young detective with an intelligent and optimistic nature. He is able to formulate logical explanations for a case. He is also considered the leader of Class Q.
Kyū inherited his detective talent from his father, Satoru Renjō. Although his mother initially discouraged him, he gradually encouraged Kyū to become a great detective after Kyū was accepted into DDS.
1. Ryū Amakusa
Ryū Amakusa is arguably the most interesting character in the story. He is the grandson of King Hades, the leader of Pluto. Since childhood, he has been cared for and raised by Pluto.
Ryū has a very cold personality, but he still manages to socialize with his friends in Class Q. He also respects Kyū, who is hardworking and superior to him.
