* KidDetective: The protagonist became one after being taken in by Utsugi. In ''The Girl Who Stands Begind'' especially, it’s noted several times by many of the adults you talk to on how young you are, with at least one of them mistaking you for a student at the high school you’re investigating. He makes it clear that he wants to be seen as a detective and not a ‘kid’, though.

* CloudCuckooLander: Doctor Kumada is fairly straitlaced most of the time, but under the right circumstances, he becomes much sillier, showing a great enthusiasm for being a "Great Detective" and taking off like a shot, much to the chagrin of his nurse, as well as being easily excited by the prospect of a beautiful woman.
