* RememberTheNewGuy: Her introduction in the main series made it sound like she was involved Hajime's previous cases. Her first appearance was actually in a short side-story that was published in the magazine prior to her first main case, but wasn't published in tankobon format until after that case was compiled first, so it ends up appearing this way for readers today.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Her introduction made it sound like she was involved Hajime's previous cases. Considering the series's loose timeline, we get to see her in side stories where this is true.

* EvilCounterpart: To Akechi. Both graduated as top-students of Shuoh High School and are considered geniuses due to their incredible talent in music, foreign language, and many other things. They also have suave, confident personalities that brings elegance in everything they do. But while Akechi becomes a police officer who fights for justice, Takato is a criminal mastermind who delights in murder.

* TeenIdol: A popular teenage idol at/around the same age as Kindaichi and Miyuki.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo-boy, where to START? [[spoiler: Firstly, her father was murdered in a botched kidnapping with the kidnapper eventually adopting and raising her and then HE was murdered after murdering someone else in order to keep his past a secret, her long-lost brother was the one who murdered her adoptive father and then died in an avalanche just as Reika find out who he was. Not exactly the friendliest of backgrounds.]]

** As an adult, Kindaichi is a {{Salaryman}} whose job has ''nothing'' to do with detective work (in fact, he states that such is the one job he ''doesn't'' want to do and the only reason he gets involved in detective work at all is because he's a MysteryMagnet), while Akechi has been in police detective work for decades.

* SenpaiKohai: Both are Kindaichi and Miyuki's kohai. Ryuuji is still in junior high but still call them "senpai" because they're clearly older.

* BadassBaritone: A very smooth example.

[[folder:Otowa PR Company Work Force]]

Fellow employees at Otowa PR Company, they're coworkers of Kindaichi.

* SatelliteCharacter: Besides his relations with Kindaichi and Miyuki (both as classmates and fellow Mystery Club member), there's little to nothing we know about him.

* BadassBaritone: Has a deep voice and can and WILL hand out an ass beating if need be.

!! Japanese: 羽山 海洋, Hayama Marin

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Further tragedies could have been prevented if he wasn't such a jerk. [[spoiler:Inoue and Miyuki on separate occassions wanted to take down his poster after having an unpleasant encounter with him, forcing the killer to act before the secret behind the poster is blown.]]
