* AlternateUniverse: While everything is mostly the same with the actual Shinjuku, the only difference is that something major happened there that it was used as the basis of splitting the area into the west and east sectors and wall it off with a gate.

*** In the epilogue, James mentions a previous case about a "snake that came down from the ceiling", obviously referencing ''The Speckled Band''.

* JackTheRipoff: "Hello Detectives" has Sherlock and the other detectives assume that the murder victim, who's a failed recruit into the cabaret club White Rose, is killed by the ''actual'' Jack the Ripper. [[spoiler:Turns out that the cabaret owner's personal driver killed the woman by accident when she bumped her head into a table edge that he fixed the scene look like Jack did it.]]

The show primarily takes place in Shinjuku, in the red light district of Kabukichō, which has been walled off somehow in the middle. On the advice of a yakuza oyabun named Kaneko, John Watson heads to Kabukichō in order to seek out a detective named Sherlock Holmes. Holmes happened to be TheQuietOne who doesn't say much. But he happens to be a very intelligent person who's able to hunt for clues and information by studying the evidence at crime scenes and deduce his theories... most in the form of rakugo.

* AgeLift: Inverted. James Moriarty is a high school kid instead of an old man and he gets along with Sherlock.
* DragQueen: This version of Mrs. Hudson is a crossdressing singer who owns the bar, Pipe Cat.

*** Shinjuku ward is divided to the west and east side in the middle due to metro line traveling in the middle, similar to the actual west and east side of London. The map shown at the end of the episodes shows that the metro line is the Yamanote Line.

* MarketBasedTitle: In Japanese, it's known as Kabukicho Sherlock. Outside Japan, it's known as Case File nº221: Kabukicho. This is most likely due to strong copyright enforcement and trademark issues since a few SH stories are not in the public domain.

* PoliceAreUseless: The TMPD has troubles lately in Kabukichō. For starters, they were nowhere in hunting Jack the Ripper that private detectives, including Sherlock, jump into the fray and work on the case. It helps that the mayor is angry at incompetence with the department that he contracted private detectives lately after his daughter was killed by Jack.

Outside of Japan, Creator/{{Funimation}} has licensed for streaming the original Japanese version with English subtitles and an upcoming English dub track in North America, Britain and Ireland while [=AnimeLab=] streams it in Australia and New Zealand.
