NAME: Heiji Hattori
SERIES: Detective Conan
WIKI LINK: [link]

PERSONALITY: Heiji is a cheerful, friendly young man who's proud of his roots and passionate about solving mysteries. Since his father is the top official at Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and often enables his interests, Heiji has helped solve the puzzle behind many a murder... and in the process, gotten himself shot, kidnapped, tossed over the side of a boat, and attacked by a murderer with a katana. Despite his knack for getting into trouble, however, Heiji is rarely down for long, and tends to regard danger as part of the job. He comes back in each story arc cheerful as ever, ready to challenge his rival to a reasoning contest or invite people to go sightseeing with him.

While Heiji has a clever, analytical mind and is easily capable of cracking codes or making excellent split-second decisions, he also has a tendency to be impulsive and emotional. While some detectives might see a slumped body through a window and think of preserving the crime scene, for instance, Heiji's first instinct is to rush over and try to administer medical attention in case they're still alive. He also has a strong competitive streak, which shows up in the way he'll often turn mysteries into a game of who can solve the puzzle first or declare someone a rival (usually Kudou Shinichi, a high school detective acquaintance of his who's about the same age).

Heiji is strongly invested in being the best detective he can be, proud of his background, eager to prove himself, and holds the safety of his friends (particularly his childhood friend, Kazuha) as being of the utmost importance. And though Heiji might seem quick-tempered at times, he's willing to listen to reason and criticism. When called out for compromising a crime scene to rush to a victim's aid or for treating a murder investigation like a game, for instance, he is visibly troubled by the possibility that he isn't up to the task of being a real detective. Of course, whether his reaction is to tone his behavior down or double down on his own recklessness is a bit of a coin toss, though in general Heiji takes his cases a little more seriously as the series proceeds.

Relationships with others:
Heiji is brave and loyal, able to risk his life for a friend's without a second thought -- which is also one of the reasons he keeps getting stabbed, shot, etc. While he may not be as coolheaded a detective as Shinichi is, Heiji is warm, easygoing, and generally able to get along with most people. For instance, though a high school kid butting into crime scenes might easily stoke resentment on a police force, Heiji maintains cordial relations with the officers in his hometown, treating them like personal friends or family. Because of this, his knack for cracking cases, and his family connections in the police force, the police tend to regard him as an honorary detective rather than a civilian nuisance.

Heiji gets along well with both of his parents and respects his father, who he recognizes as a better detective than he is. He also maintains good overall relations with Kazuha, though they are prone to bickering. At the same time, Heiji is often unable to be honest with himself about his feelings toward Kazuha. It's fairly clear throughout the series that he has a crush on her (the bickering is an extension of this), but is only able to talk about how important she is to him when their lives are in danger: as soon as they're safe again, he retreats back into pretending nothing ever happened.

Though Heiji displays interest in most any detective, especially those his own age, he is especially interested in Shinichi, whom he sees as a rival. Much to Shinichi's annoyance, Heiji is constantly showing up to invite him to Osaka, signing up for detective retreats at which he's sure Shinichi will be present, and challenging him to reasoning battles. Nevertheless, the two of them work well together, often complementing each other whenever they're on the same case.

AU DETAILS: Heiji remains a high school student with a keen interest in solving mysteries. His closest relationships -- with his father, mother, Kazuha, and Shinichi -- remain basically the same in tone, though the apocalypse would no doubt have put a damper on the whole being-able-to-tag-along-on-police-cases setup. Though Heiji's father tends to allow Heiji a lot of leeway in poking his nose into murder cases, it would be very unlikely that either of Heiji's parents would support him wandering into situations in which he could get seriously hurt or kidnapped. Still, Heizou's work keeps him extremely busy, and Heiji has a knack for finding trouble. As a result, Heiji has become practiced at thinking on his feet and knowing when to run for it.

Heiji is still an active sportsman. Though real kendo equipment isn't terribly easy to come across, he makes a point of practicing with improvised swords. For Heiji, retaining a sense of normalcy is important: he keeps in touch with friends, pitches in to help neighbors and strangers alike, and hopes for the day when everything can be normal again. Heiji is particularly concerned with Kazuha's wellbeing, though of course he's loath to actually acknowledge his feelings out loud. Though not an anxious person by nature, Heiji worries about his parents' safety -- his father because Heizou works in law enforcement and his mother because like Heiji, Shizuka has a way of poking her nose into trouble.

Though the world may be different, Heiji's strong sense of right and wrong (and inability to keep his mouth shut about it) remain the same. He cannot stand compromising his morals, and believes that all criminals must pay for their crimes as dictated by law, not vigilante justice. At the same time, Heiji is a firm believer in the ability of criminals to rehabilitate and return as productive members of society.
AU/MEMORY LOSS EFFECTS: Heiji already comes from a modern-day setting, and losing his memories would not affect his natural curiosity or keen interest in solving mysteries. However, prior to having his approach to solving mysteries tempered somewhat by meeting Shinichi, Heiji tended to regard murder cases as puzzles to be solved or competitions to be won, sometimes forgetting the human element in the process. Without his memories, Heiji would be more reckless, eager to prove himself, and prone to running off after hunches. However, at his core, he would remain a kindhearted, friendly person who likes to chatter.

Character: Hattori Heiji
Fandom/Series: Detective Conan
Original or Alternate Universe: Original

Canon Used: anime

Age: 17
Gender: male
Species: human

Appearance: Heiji is a tall Japanese boy who favors casual clothing. He has short dark hair and a naturally darker-than-usual complexion, which other characters occasionally remark upon. For example, an American English teacher mistakes him as non-Japanese because of the combination of his skin color and his accent, which is the regional Osaka manner of speech.

Personality:
Heiji is a cheerful, friendly young man who's proud of his roots and passionate about solving mysteries. Since his father is the top official at Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Heiji has helped solve the puzzle behind many a murder... and in the process, gotten himself shot, kidnapped, tossed over the side of a boat, and attacked by a murderer with a katana. Heiji seems to regard danger as part of the job, easily bouncing back from each danger he encounters to come back in his next story arc, ready to challenge his rival to a reasoning contest or invite people to go sightseeing in Osaka with him.

While Heiji has a clever, analytical mind, easily capable of cracking codes or split-second decisions, he also has a tendency to be impulsive, even rash. While some detectives might see a slumped body through a window and think of preserving the crime scene, for instance, Heiji's first instinct is to rush over and try to administer medical attention in case they're still alive. He also has a strong competitive streak, which shows up in the way he'll often turn mysteries into a game of who can solve the puzzle first or declare someone a rival (usually Kudou Shinichi, a high school detective acquaintance of his who's about the same age).

Heiji is brave and loyal, able to risk his life for a friend's without a second thought -- which is also one of the reasons he keeps getting stabbed, shot, etc. While he may not be as coolheaded a detective as Shinichi is, Heiji is warm and easygoing; even the police detectives he occasionally works with don't seem to resent him being on the crime scene, teenager or no. He maintains cordial relations with many of them, greeting them as he might older and more experienced friends.

Heiji gets along well with both of his parents and greatly respects his father, who he recognizes as a better detective than he is. He also maintains good overal relations with his childhood friend, Kazuha, though they are prone to bickering. At the same time, Heiji is often unable to be honest with himself about his feelings toward Kazuha. It's fairly clear throughout the series that he has a crush on her (the bickering is an extension of this), but is only able to talk about how important she is to him when their lives are in danger... and naturally, as soon as they're safe again, he retreats back into pretending nothing ever happened. At the same time, both of them have risked their lives to save the other, and they often accompany each other on trips to Tokyo for some event or other.

Though Heiji displays interest in most any detective, especially those his own age, he seems especially interested in Shinichi, even showing up in Tokyo to declare them rivals. Much to Shinichi's annoyance, Heiji is constantly showing up to invite him to Osaka, signing up for detective retreats at which he's sure Shinichi will be present, and challenging him to reasoning battles. Still, the two of them work well together, often complementing each other whenever they're on the same case.

While he is generally easygoing, it's also easy to make Heiji lose his cool or cut him down. He's strongly invested in being the best detective he can be, proud of his background, eager to prove himself, and holds the safety of his friends (particularly Kazuha) as something of the utmost importance. When a fellow detective berates him for compromising a crime scene to rush to a victim's aid, for instance, he's shown expressing maybe he did fail in his duty as an investigator. And when he discovers the culprit of a murder at his high school kendo tournament, he rushes off and ends up confronting the murderer alone rather than waiting for backup.

Strengths/Abilities:
Heiji is an accomplished kendo practitioner; despite being a high-schooler, he stands at the top of the Osaka kendo scene and is capable of blocking sword strikes with something as small as a cell phone, or landing and balancing on the back of a sword. He's also highly athletic, able to grab a second-story windowsill and pull himself up onto it without incident. However, he's not capable of tearing steel doors off their hinges, deflect gunshots, or any similar feat, and his physical abilities are regarded to be merely unusually athletic in the Detective Conan universe, not superhuman. He's capable of taking care of himself in a fight, but shooting him will still incapacitate him.

Heiji also has an eidetic memory and excellent motorcycle-riding skills.

Weaknesses:
Heiji doesn't really have any unusual physical weaknesses, just the normal human ones. He is perfectly capable of being suffocated, poisoned, stabbed, etc.

History:
Heiji is the son of Hattori Heizou, chief of the Osaka Police Department, and Hattori Shizuka, depicted as a graceful, elegant woman capable of deflecting a katana with a fan. He grew up in Osaka and, during his time there, took it upon himself to familiarize himself with most of its popular landmarks (Benkei's stone, Osaka Castle), signature dishes, and regional customs. He also became good childhood friends with Kazuha, the daughter of one of his father's close subordinates, although the two of them apparently got into the occasional bout of mischief (accidentally handcuffing themselves together, for instance).

This relationship persists even in the present, in which Kazuha often comes to Heiji's kendo practices or accompanies him on retreats; she even made him a protective charm containing one of the links from the handcuffs they ran afoul of as children. In return, Heiji is always on the lookout for Kazuha (In "And Then There Were No Mermaids", he risks his life to pull her up from a sheer cliff face; in "Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation", he almost admits he cares about her while they're both captured and imprisoned by a murderous criminal).

While in Osaka, Heiji gradually accumulated fame as the "Detective of the West", a high school detective who solved over 1,000 different cases (including searching for lost pets as a child). Over time, however, another high school detective caught his eye: Shinichi, dubbed the "Detective of the East" as he was based in the Tokyo area.

Heiji eventually made his way to Tokyo to challenge Shinichi to a reasoning battle, only to find Shinichi not only under the weather, but afflicted with a bizarre medical condition that changed him physically into a child (while leaving his intellect intact, fortunately). Forced to hide his identity in order to hide from the deadly Black Organization, Shinichi was instead living under the pseudonym Edogawa Conan, solving mysteries by impersonating another detective. Despite this handicap and his poor health, Shinichi beat Heiji at his own game, correctly identifying the murderer (Tsujimura Kimie) and the method in which the crime was perpetrated (with a combination of a sedative and a poisoned needle, in a way that seemed to point to a locked room mystery).

Admitting defeat, Heiji retreated back to Osaka... only to resurface in the hopes of challenging Shinichi to another contest (The Holmes Freak case). Trapped in an isolated cliffside home with no easy way of escape, Heiji slowly became more and more suspicious of Conan's ability to get underfoot every time he started pursuing a clue or line of investigation. Eventually, he deduced that Conan wasn't just a kid playing at being a detective at all, but rather, a de-aged Kudo Shinichi. Heiji promised to keep the secret (after all, revealing Shinichi's identity would have endangered Shinichi's friends as well), becoming one of the few people to know Conan's true identity.

This set the stage for the rest of Heiji's appearances in Detective Conan; generally, Heiji will take it upon himself to show up in Tokyo for a consulting job, invite Shinichi over to Osaka, participate in some kind of mystery contest, or even help Shinichi out with a particularly difficult case/investigating the Black Organization. The two of them work remarkably well together, as each serves as a foil to the other.

Canon Point: After episode 490, a brief sort of flashback episode where Heiji and Shinichi compete in solving a murder at a ski resort.

First Person Sample:
[Heiji opens his eyes; his head's spinning a little, but that sort of thing's common in his line of work. First things first. He's gotta examine his surroundings, figure out who kidnapped him, and how to --

Suddenly, there's a black and white man in front of him. No, not a man. Not exactly. His vision's clearing; the man's an image on a giant TV screen.]

The hell are you grinnin' about? If this is about a ransom--

[The man launches into his speech and Heiji quickly realizes it's not a live broadcast; this is a recorded message. Town of Luministi, Constantine Caligin, Mayor... what's going on here? What's this guy's angle? What's this about small-town life? He's in Osaka, ain't he?

The man blabs on about restaurants and libraries, but the weird thing is, he doesn't mention anything about the kidnapping. Or what he wants. Not even one threat. Heiji pays attention to the scene around the man instead, all of which looks slightly off, slightly unfamiliar. If this is a set, it's a good one, because nothing about the man's surroundings suggests Osaka. Or even Japan.

Heiji looks around, taking in his own surroundings as the message ends.]

Neat, nicely kept. If this is a criminal's hideout, they sure rolled out the red carpet. No, place like this'd be way too conspicuous.

[He makes his way to the living room, sees the bike, and starts examining it.]

A bike, huh? Guess he's not gonna let me have mine. No wear on the tires, no scratched paint... this ain't even been ridden before.

[And then the gift basket. He goes through each item, smelling the fruit, examining the packets, pulling out the T-shirt.]

This fruit ain't been out long. Means someone else's been around recently. The heck's this shirt for? Bunch of coupons... if this is some scam, they're going all-out on it.

[That finished, he examines the letter.]

Same speech, huh? Well, time to get to the bottom of this.

[He flips his cap around, wearing it at a jaunty angle.]

You're gonna regret kidnapping Hattori Heiji!

Third Person Sample:
Heiji gripped the shinai in both hands -- right hand directly behind the guard, left hand towards the hilt –raised the bamboo sword up above his head, and in a short, controlled motion, brought it down in a swift arc. The tip came to a stop precisely at eye level. He’d performed this small, simple motion countless times over the years, so many times that he could probably do this in his sleep. Might very well have, actually, if he’d been the kind to bring the shinai to bed.

One. Two.

As he practiced his overhead swing, he ran over the details of one of his past cases. He wasn’t sure why he settled on the anniversary of that Kanou heist, but that seemed to be all he could think about at the moment. Receiving a strange invitation to solve a complicated mystery, meeting with Kudou and the others on board that cruising ship… and then finding the charred body of a former thief. Fire had warped the body, curling into the pugilistic pose of a veteran boxer, burned it to the point where they’d had to use his watch and a few details about his clothes and build to identify him.

He remembered looking for plausible hiding places on the ship, anywhere the killer might have been hiding. Finding the second body, and then, suddenly, finding himself pushed from behind into the freezing water below.

He’d been lucky. Lucky the boat’s propellers hadn’t caught him, lucky that the coast guard had picked him up. Lucky that his adversary hadn’t decided to give him a quick stab with a knife before shoving him overboard. Kazuha would probably have said that her charm had saved him. Sometimes, Heiji wondered. He wasn’t the type to believe in superstitions or curses; that came with the territory. But maybe someone or something out there was looking out for him, because despite copious injuries, a gunshot or two, getting attacked by a man with a sword, and nearly falling to his death, he was still in one piece.

Maybe he should thank her for giving it to him, see if she’d suddenly brighten as if he’d given her a personal compliment or just try to downplay it all, like she usually did. Or both, which was a distinct possibility for Kazuha.

…Nah. If he did that, she might think she was right about everything.

Did you read the rules? Yes

Character information
Name: Heiji Hattori
Age: 200ish
Date of Birth: August 15, 1815
Canon: Detective Conan
Species: Fae. Heiji is a normal human in Detective Conan, but I think he could make an interesting fox spirit. In canon, he serves as a foil for the main character, Shinichi Kudo, who is often referred to as the "Heisei (modern-day) Holmes". By contrast, Heiji is referred to as the "Naniwa Detective" or "Naniwa Swordsman", incorporating an archaic term for the Kansai area of Japan. Heiji is often tied to old Japan, through his hobbies (kendo), origin (the Kansai area is the location of the old capital of Japan, Kyoto), the knowledge he's required to draw on to solve cases, and the occasional movie or TV special in which he runs around fighting katana-wielding criminals. His parents are similarly oldschool. As Japan has a rich history of spirits and supernatural creatures that are also tied closely to its past, I think Heiji would fit in rather well to the background.

Heiji's personality as a friendly, curious, mischievous person also fits with the typical description of a kitsune rather well -- and in fact, he's referred to his father as a 'fox' in canon, when frustrated at being used as bait in a criminal investigation. Interestingly, his father is usually depicted with his eyes closed, which is a common trait ascribed to foxes or foxlike characters in Japan.

Role: Two choices here...
Seelie Court (knight): Heiji is generally happy to lend his talents (such as they are) whenever needed. He is an excellent investigator, should a more high-ranking member of the court require it, and actively keeps up on developments in normal London, as he is highly curious and excellent at blending in. He has no qualms about wading wherever in the mortal world he wants, and generally respects the rule of law. In pursuing rulebreakers, he can be a tireless opponent, but he's extremely friendly and might serve a valuable role in interacting with other species. Or at least steamrolling over their objections in conversation until they give up and decide to roll at his pace.

If not charged to do anything in particular by the court, Heiji would probably spend a lot of his time among the humans of London, familiarizing himself with the streets and goings-on. He might get a job that allowed him a lot of free time and access to people-watching, like a part-time waiter.

Redbright Institute (instructor): Heiji is probably too old to be a student, but he could be an instructor, as he can tl;dr on and on about forensic science or Japan or swords or whatever else -- though his classes would be slightly eccentric ones. Being in a more structured environment where he was expected to protect people might also bring out more of his responsible, benevolent fox side. And being a few hundred years old would probably give Heiji a unique perspective on whatever existential teen crises his students have, of course.

Rank: level 2
Background: Heiji is a keen-eyed, quick-witted young fox spirit from Osaka, Japan. He is approximately 200 years old and comes from a prominent family of foxes, who sent him abroad to broaden his horizons and maybe end up a more even-tempered supernatural citizen in the bargain.
Heiji’s father, Heizou, is a strict, patriarchical type who once rose to a fair amount of fame as a police official in 18th century Japan, back when the average human believed more strongly in the supernatural and it was more common/acceptable for supernatural creatures to interfere in human affairs. After "retiring" from the human world, Heizou instead became a high-ranking lord in the fae community, with an extensive network of friends and relatives throughout the otherworldly Kansai area. Though Heiji's mother, Shizuka, often doted on her son, Heizou continued to voice reserve about Heiji's fascination with the human world -- which only contributed to his son's continued interest.

Perhaps because he was raised in the Other Realm with a father in such close contact with Court proceedings, Heiji is fascinated with the human world, which is populated by humans who live their lives on an entirely different and highly-compressed time scale. This impression was only strengthened by the time period in which Heiji was born, as Heiji lived through the flood of Western novelties into Japan during the Taisho era, and thus remembers Japan before, during, and after the rapid series of reinventions that made his country what it is today. Because he has spent a large amount of time in both the human world and the Other Realm, and because he switches between the two regularly, Heiji also makes little distinction between the worlds in terms of which is his true "home" -- which in his mind is Osaka, regardless of whether it's the human or fae version of Osaka under discussion.

Heiji does see humans as amusing to mess with and isn’t a big fan of other types of canines (i.e. werewolves). However, he is by nature a friendly sort, and many of his kind are actually benevolent towards the average human. A few of his extended family have even married human partners, though Heiji considers marrying someone with a much shorter lifespan rather a bad investment.

Heiji’s fascination with human detective novels has made him a mystery enthusiast; some of his favorite sleuths include Ellery Queen and Hercule Poirot. With his shapeshifting skills and quick wit, Heiji would actually make an excellent detective – if it weren't for his family's insistence that he keep a low profile, of course. Nevertheless, Heiji has helped solve quite a few human murder cases over the years, usually in disguise or by influencing investigators to stumble on the answer themselves. His contributions include returning a stolen Buddha statue to its home temple and debunking murders perpetrated by normal humans but blamed on things like kamaitachi or cursed dogs.

A slightly unusual aspect of Heiji is that in his default human form, he’s unusually dark-skinned (for a Japanese person, anyway). This has gotten him mistaken for a foreigner on a few occasions. Heiji in fox form is similarly dark-furred; he claims to inherited this trait from his grandfather.

Like any fox, Heiji enjoys fried tofu and azuki beans, but he also loves regional Osakan dishes, like okonomiyaki and iced coffee. He is enormously proud of his background, and will textwall about Osaka to anyone who will listen.

Personality: Characters from Osaka are often stereotyped as humorous or shrewd operators -- they are traditionally boisterous, overly familiar, a little provincial, quick-witted, and deft with finances. Heiji is no exception in this regard, but he is also warm, generally cordial, and a loyal ally. In fact, he is gregarious to the point of being obnoxious, with noticeably thicker skin and less sense of propriety than foxes from other areas of Japan. Heiji is physically affectionate and mischievous; like most foxes, he takes particular delight in practical jokes. When relationships get serious, however, he tends to be a bit jealous and even possessive.

While friendly, Heiji is also quick-tempered, impulsive, and impatient, especially with those he regards as lazy or incompetent. Rather than wait for help, he may simply rush into danger, particularly if he has a personal stake in a conflict. In fact, Heiji's temper and strong regional accent might make him easy for other characters to pigeonhole as naive or stupid. Often, however, Heiji takes advantage of this impression to take action before anyone can notice he actually has a plan. If challenged, Heiji relies on a combination of luck, intuition, and resourcefulness to pull through. His long lifespan has made him adept at quickly reading a situation, so he succeeds more often than not.

Despite the occasional unintentional flouting of social niceties, Heiji is capable of surprising generosity and warmth to those in his 'in-group', including family, friends, and guests. He can also be quite perceptive and sensitive in regards to people he cares about. For example, he can pick out romantic interest between shy characters or instantly understand why a woman might be suspicious of her son's new fiancée. When it comes to asking before he drops in for a visit, however, Heiji is often remiss.

As an Osakan, Heiji loves haggling and loathes paying full price. If he is forced to do so, he will almost invariably use leaves, twigs, or stones magicked to look valuable as part of the payment. Heiji's most prized trait is his intelligence and he is quite susceptible to flattery regarding his reasoning skills. While he doesn't mind being bested in contests of reasoning, he hates being used or tricked – he’s the one who’s supposed to do the deceiving!

Heiji's feelings on humans are mixed -- over the years, he's seen some good and a whole lot of bad. Nevertheless, he is fascinated by a handful of human inventions: motorcycles, swordsmanship, baseball, and detective novels. He is absolutely enamored with the idea of deductive reasoning, maintains a huge stockpile of mystery paperbacks, and would love to be a renowned detective himself. When presented with a murder, Heiji often forgets that a death was even involved, treating the affair as a fascinating puzzle. Ironically, this lack of human empathy is something Heiji shares with many of his favorite human detectives… though in Heiji’s case, he at least has the excuse of not actually being human.

Powers & Possessions: Heiji has a number of powers that overlap with those of a typical fae, such as long life and magical powers -- particular specialties are shapeshifting and illusion. For example, kitsune are fond of transforming into elderly men or beautiful women, and are said to have control of ghostly balls of fire similar to will-o-the-wisps, which they occasionally employ to lead travelers astray. Heiji specializes in offensive fire and lightning magic.

Kitsune are often depicted as guardian spirits, capable of warding off evil or using their magic for the benefit of a host or companion; similarly, Heiji has something of an inclination to maintain order and use his powers to protect those close to him. In general, foxes are known for granting those they favor with protection, knowledge, or long life. That said, Heiji is also prone to using his abilities for seduction, or to benefit his friends by taking from others -- for instance, by lifting it from a neighbor's house.

Heiji possesses a small gem called a fox ball, which houses a portion of his power. While it's doubtful that anyone other than another fox could use it for much, someone could easily blackmail him over it and he would be unable to use that part of his power until it was back in his possession.

As far as kitsune go, Heiji is a fairly powerful specimen, though on the younger side. Traditionally, foxes are known for their magical ability and intelligence. In the latter, Heiji is unrivaled among foxes his age, with an eidetic memory and excellent reasoning skills. He loves being complimented on his deductive reasoning in particular. Heiji has an incredibly broad base of knowledge, including but not limited to the names of subway stations, Japanese history, basic forensic science, etc. But conversely, there may be odd gaps in his knowledge that come from not being human, from being 200 years old, or from being a Japanese dude in London.

Heiji is an accomplished swordsman in human form -- though he's stronger/more magical as a fox. Due to his supernatural nature, he is superhumanly strong and able to scale buildings and leap along rooftops with relative ease. He can be a bit standoffish around dogs, some of whom can instinctively tell something's up with him.

Possessions:
• An antique Muramasa sword
• A wooden practice sword
• A white baseball cap
• A lot of detective novels
• A cloth charm, ostensibly supposed to grant good luck. Its efficacy is doubtful, and Heiji maintains that it might actually be an unlucky charm.
