Overall Synopsis[edit]

The series centers around Kogoro Akechi, third generation in a line of famous detectives. Though he's inherited his famous grandfather's deductive ability, he's weak-willed with a bit of a cowardly streak, making him an all-too-human sleuth. Though he's sometimes dragged kicking and screaming into the fray, Akechi finds himself going head to head with the criminals every time. --YTV
