History Characters / CaseFileNoTwoTwoOneKabukicho

* FreeRangeChildren: It's unclear if they're orphans or if their parents are present in their lives, let alone allowing them to walk around in a place like [[WretchedHell Kabukicho]] and do some illegal activities there such as stealing.

* RomanticWingman: Since Sherlock is too busy protecting Irene, Watson ends up helping Kyogoku confess his feeling to Maki.

* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:After leaving prison, he slowly becomes the enemy to the Pipe Cat detectives particularly to Sherlock because he just wants to have fun]].

* CreepyChild: When Sherlock met him as a child, he noticed that there was a dead butterfly beside him. This becomes more apparent in "Moriarty Savors" [[spoiler:where James kills his mother by tossing a plugged hairdryer on her bathtub and watches in awe as she got electrocuted]].

** [[spoiler:When the crazed fans of Momotaros (the band that Sherlock and Moriarty investigated) burned themselves to death, Moriarty just watches them in a very calm and disturbing manner in contrast to Sherlock who is horrified to what he saw]].
** He's also like this as a child. He went outside of his house and watched the fish died after being struck by lightning. [[spoiler:Then, he decided to test this on his mother who was taking a bath. The most disturbing part? He just stood there and watched her die while ''smiling'' in tears]].

* {{Foil}}: He is one to Sherlock. [[spoiler: Both of them have an ambiguous mental disorder (which is more severe in Moriarty's case) and share a fascination for mystery-solving. However, while Sherlock TookALevelInKindness and started becoming compassionate after meeting Watson (who later becomes his MoralityPet), Moriarty TookALevelInJerkass and [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil went off the hinges]] after losing [[MoralityPet his sister Alex]] . Both of these events happened right at the start of the story, marking the start of Sherlock's CharacterDevelopment and, at the same time, Moriarty's StartOfDarkness . ]]

** There are a lot of hints that James is [[spoiler:Mayor Moran's son]] such as being acquainted to Irene where James calls her, "sensei". [[spoiler:Irene used to work as a tutor for the Moran children]] and he and Alexandra looked very much alike [[spoiler:because they're twins. When she went to the East Side, Alex wore James' clothes which unfortunately led to her murder by Jack the Ripper]].
** Considering that he's named after the great detective's archnemesis, there are hints of his spiral to villainy such as [[spoiler:crushing butterflies since he was very young which shows that he's not a normal child and being excited whenever something bad happens in the previous cases. The opening itself even explicitly hints Moriarty's dark nature]].

* INeverToldYouMyName: [[spoiler: Watson suspects that he is connected to Jack after Irene's death. The only people who knew where she was was Irene, Sherlock, and himself, yet for some reason Moriarty was there after she was stabbed. Sherlock told Watson later that he's responsible for filling Moriarty in on the details.]]
** [[spoiler: Later he reveals to know the names of the crazy fangirls who tried to kill them and Sherlock finds him in the background of one of their pictures.]]

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He becomes more cold-hearted and deceptive after he got out of prison to the point of kidnapping Lucy and forcing Mary to kill Watson in exchange for her sister's freedom because he finds Watson as a distraction just like Alex]].

* MindControl: [[spoiler: It is all but stated that he is using some form of mind control on the suicide cases. It seems to be activated by a trigger when he or the police state the targets' full name, after which they scream out loud a code in front of Sherlock and kill themselves. Moriarty admits this in "The Curtain Rises on the Grand Guignol".]]

* NoodleIncident: Whatever happened in [[spoiler: the prison between him and the other inmates. Moriarty was the one who was being beaten at the starting, how did he become a perpetrator? ]]

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He shows some signs of it when he was a child, specifically [[spoiler:when he killed his mother because he wants to experiment just like the fish that got electrocuted by a lightning bolt. After meeting Sherlock for the first time, the latter noticed that a dead butterfly lying on his feet]].

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:He is very traumatized after he found out that he dated and slept with a serial killer. Sherlock snaps him out of his state by dumping animal poop on his hair causing Kyogoku to freak out and wash his hair]].
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Kyogoku may be a bit arrogant and a bit choosy on cases presented but he chose cases that offer a lot of money because he wants to use the money to build a hospital in the East Side.

* AnimalLover: As revealed in the OVA, his house is full of pets and he adopts a kitten from the streets.

* CanonForeigner: Though Doyle was fond of using the surname "Belmont" no one coming close to Michel's description appears in any of his works, though one could consider him a TruerToTheText interpetation of Lestrade (who appears in this series as an awkward and nerdy {{Salaryman}} police officer).

* TheGamblingAddict: He keeps going to casinos to gamble, leading to his connection to the yakuza just to pay off his debts. This destroyed his career as a police investigator and put his family in danger, causing his wife to leave him with his daughter after they were attacked by the yakuza.

An ex-yakuza wakashu who decided to strike on his own as a private detective. He sometimes manages the Pipe Cat Bar.

* ItsPersonal: The reason she took Dilan's case regarding the MLM scam is due to her estranged father being a part of the said scam after she found a photo of him in the magazine. [[spoiler:Turns out she mistook him for someone else but she and Watson stumbled upon the scam's darkest secret]].

* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler: Moriarty]] in "Moriarty Favors" forces her to choose between [[spoiler: letting her sister die, or killing Watson. She(seemingly) complies with the latter one, albeit ''very'' tearfully. ]]

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Because of her looks, she looks very handsome when she dresses up as a [[HostClub host]] on a suit.

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After Sherlock and Watson cornered her with the former exposing her true self and mocking her for being ugly, the Ripper sloppily applies her lipstick which forms a MonsterClown-like smile and drops her soft feminine voice as she threatens to kill them. It goes very violent when James beats her with a tire iron and the Ripper taunts him about his sister's death]].

* FemmeFatale: She's speculated by the detectives for having an affair with Mayor Moran and then, she stole a USB drive which possibly contains revenge porn as means to blackmail him.
* FriendlyEnemy: To Sherlock. She talks to him like an old friend which means this is not the first time she outsmarts him.

** The reason for taking up the Milverton case is because she sees herself on his daughter, Emiri, who doesn't have a father figure. Likewise, her former co-star, Agatha, also got caught up on Milverton's blackmail and Irene does her best to help her even if it means covering up her crime of killing Milverton as revenge.
** It turns out stealing the USB drive is [[spoiler:related to Alexandra Moran's death in the hands of Jack the Ripper and how Moran fits in all of this. And since Alex was her former student, she's very determined to find out her killer's identity despite her life being in danger]].

* TooCleverByHalf: She outclasses all the detectives including Sherlock. However, she nearly loses the USB drive when she's walking on the street alone and nearly hold-up by a hooded man who demands the drive before Sherlock calls him out. Luckily, the drive wasn't stolen and is in possession of Sherlock's, who switches the real drive to Mycroft with a fake one.

* AssholeVictim: He was killed by Agatha, a former actress who was forced to pay and sleep with him after he discovered her secret for being a transwoman. For all the horrible things he had done, he deserves it.

* HateSink: There is absolutely nothing likable about this guy. He is a SmugSnake who blackmails people for payment (both in cash and sex) then releases the material if they are merely 5 seconds late with payment, uses his blackmail empire to traffic child SexSlave, has no fear from the police [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections since he has blackmail material on the higher ups]], and wanted to steal the custody of his child away from his sick wife just so he could sell said daughter to a pedophile. After he is killed, Sherlock just tells Lestrade to label it a cold case as there are WAY too many suspects that understandably wanted him dead.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is the king of blackmailers who possesses dirty secrets of celebrities and high-profile individuals. He even threatens his wife to give custody of their daughter, Emiri. But it's clear he has no regard on Emiri and doesn't care about her when he plans to sell her as a child prostitute.

* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:He really takes pleasure in poisoning people and laughs maniacally when he poisons one of his members who tried to leave]].

* LoonyFan: They are so obsessed with Momotaros that they killed animals they represented in a Zoo to get the detectives that got them arrested to investigate the case, posted comments on wishing for the detectives deaths, killed an innocent woman, tried to rile up a mob of fans to kill the detectives or try to kill them themselves, and lastly set themselves on fire before they were caught. [[spoiler: Though that last one is heavily implied to have been caused by MindControl]]

* AdaptationalWimp: In the original stories, Moran was a [[FromCamouflageToCriminal soldier-turned-assassin]] with an almost legendary career, and a ColdSniper skilled enough that Holmes spent years trying to stay out of rifle range of him. Here, he's a mayor who slowly goes through a HumiliationConga in the second half of the show, [[spoiler:cumlminating in his murder at the hands of his son, who taunts Moran while he begs for mercy.]]

* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: Jack reveals that she was paid by Moran to kill his son James but accidentally killed Alex when she went off wearing James' clothes. The real reason is that James killed Cecilia when he was young and Moran is understandably disturbed about it]].

* AloofBigBrother: There's some animosity between him and Sherlock. But he knows that the case regarding Irene Adler can stir some interest on his little brother and even offers the rare rakugo trading card as the grand prize.

* TheArtfulDodger: A whole gang of them. They even practice pick pocketing on dummies in their spare time. They at least promise they only rob from the rich.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: PlayedForLaughs. When Moriarty warns Watson that he's about to get tricked by one of their cuter looking members, the girl immediately gives an unchildlike grimace before announcing she'll just go gambling instead.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: She died of electric shock on her bathtub. [[spoiler:It's worse her own son killed her and watches her die]].
* MoralityPet: She's this to her son. She tries to reassure him that he's a normal child. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:he kills her because he wants to experiment after seeing a fish electrocuted at the pond during a stormy day]].
* PosthumousCharacter: She was killed when James was young. "First Moonlit Night" suggest that an electrical device fell down on her bathtub and killed her by electric shock. [[spoiler:"Moriarty Savors" mentions that James killed her by tossing a hairdryer that's plugged on the bathtub.]]

The daughter of Shinjuku Mayor Sebastian Moran, she was targeted by Jack prior to the start of the series. [[spoiler:She was also the person Watson and his team in West Shinjuku conducted an autopsy on.]]

* AdvertisedExtra: She shows up in the opening for the second half. But she rarely does anything plot-important [[spoiler:after Moriarty ties her up and kills her]]. Turns out [[spoiler: she is later revealed to be alive in "Everybody Be There By Eight".]]

* DumbMuscle: Averted. When Sugimoto did his rapping inside PCB, Potter corrected him that he introduced himself to Kobayashi.

* ReplacementGoldfish: One of his sex dolls, Airi, looked exactly like Irene which is very creepy because he's letting customers have their way around her.

* CrocodileTears: [[spoiler: After Sherlock and Watson cut her off and accuse her of being Jack the Ripper, she obviously fake cries and pretends to be innocent. After it's clear no one is buying it she just comments that her tears ruined her makeup and starts to reapply it without a care.]]

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: [[spoiler: Like many serial killers, Maki's motivated by pathological insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

To convince herself she's "perfect" in spite of this, she murders beautiful people and symbolically transforms their corpses into angels, perfect--and asexual--beings.]]

* MonsterClown: [[spoiler: The combination of her running eye liner and sloppily applied lipstick after she gets cornered rapidly gives her a [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]]esque appearance.]]

* ScaryTeeth: [[spoiler: For some reason, after Sherlock corners her and tells her he knows she's Jack the Ripper her teeth become shark-like.]]

* BizarreTasteInFood: He has a peculiar taste in food such as eating fried rice with canned fruits and while at Moriarty's birthday party, he eats some sushi with ''cake frosting'' dipped in. When he was looking after Yui's daughter he tried to feed her his type of food, leading to her finding it disgusting and throwing the bowl at his head.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Because of her looks, she looks very handsome when she dresses up as a host on a suit.

* LadyLooksLikeADude: Easily confused for a guy, thanks to her lean frame and ContraltoOfDanger, the latter easily noticeable in English, Japanese and Italian.

* SuperOCD: Is a neat freak, afraid of germs, and get's quite obsessive over things he likes.
