Premise

[edit]

Based on Sherlock Holmes detective stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, this is a one-shot drama series set in modern Tokyo.[1] The British network BBC also aired the drama Sherlock from 2010 to 2017 in modern London, and the American network CBS also aired the drama Elementary from 2012 to 2019 in modern New York City, but this is not a remake of those dramas.[9]

The subtitle "Untold Stories" refers to "incidents in which only the title is slightly mentioned in the text, but the details are not specified."[10] Producer Dai Ota said in an interview, "I thought something was missing in making use of only the relationship between Sherlock and Watson and making the incidents original. Then, the idea came from scriptwriter Yumiko Inoue was 'Untold Stories.'"[11]

Dean Fujioka plays the main character, Shishio Homare, a criminal consultant equivalent to Sherlock Holmes, and his partner, Junichi Wakamiya, a psychiatrist equivalent to John H. Watson, is played by Takanori Iwata.[1][2][3]

Cast and characters

[edit]
  • Dean Fujioka[1][2][3] as Shishio Homare (His boyhood is played by Ruito Yamashiro[b][12]), a freelance criminal investigation consultant. He has been interested in criminal psychology and human sin since childhood, which led him to solve a number of mysterious crimes as a student. However, he always has a danger lurking inside him and is in danger of becoming a criminal if he makes a mistake. He takes on only those cases that interest him from among the requests the police and individual clients bring. His office and residence suffered a water leak from the upper floor, so he comes to live in Wakamiya's apartment. He was born to a wealthy man, Tatsuo Homare, who had made his fortune from the financial business, and his mother, who became his second wife after having been his mistress. He is a half-brother to his older brother, Makio.[c] When he was 18 years old, Tatsuo passed away. After Shishio's mother, who was kicked out of the Homare house by Makio who found out that the cause of death of Makio's own mother wasn't an accident, but a suicide, died of a disease, Shishio himself disappeared and moved around abroad without going to college.[c] Five years ago, while in Hong Kong, he assisted in the investigation of the Gloria Scott case, which led him to return to Japan and start his own detective work.[c] The character is based on Sherlock Holmes from the novels and also shares the same initials as S.H.
  • Takanori Iwata[1][2][3] as Junichi Wakamiya, a psychiatrist at Tomasu Central Hospital. He has been treated as a "good boy" since childhood and has always lived with loneliness and sadness in his heart, so he has a very sensitive personality. When he first met Shishio after an incident, he didn't have a good impression of him, but gradually becomes interested in his charming attitude and builds trust with him as a buddy. He was a classmate of Haruki Akabane at Ebara Medical College, and they obtained a medical license illegally. He later quit his job as a doctor but couldn't pay the rent, so he ended up living with him instead of working as Shishio's assistant. The character is based on John Watson from the novels and also shares the same initials as J.W.
  • Kuranosuke Sasaki[13] as Reiji Eto, a unit head in the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. His rank is Chief Inspector. He believes himself to be an excellent detective, but he isn't a competent detective as he consciously interferes with investigations and has a habit of slacking off. Therefore, while Shishio makes a fool of him all the time, he leads Shishio to start investigating the case by sweet-talking him. He uses Shishio for his promotion, but he worries about and trusts him to a certain extent. At the end of episode 10, he gets his promotion to a manager of the First Investigation Division in the next human resources. However, in the special episode, it is revealed that he hasn't been promoted any further. The character is based on Inspector Lestrade from the novels.
  • Maho Yamada[14] as Kumiko Kogure, a sergeant in the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. She is a calm and collected person. Although she considers her boss, Eto, to be excellent, she calmly does her job to solve the case while poking fun at his stray thoughts. She also has an emotional side and sometimes sympathizes with the victims. She doesn't seem to think very well of Shishio and sometimes tells him off. Shishio and others call her Gure. At the end of episode 10, she gets her promotion to the head of the Third Unit in the next human resources. The character is based on Inspector Gregson from the novels.
  • Yutaro[15] as Leo, an informant with many mysteries. Since Shishio picked him up, he has followed the people who are considered suspects and provided him with useful information. It is unclear how he came to know Shishio. He mainly uses a skateboard to get around. He has an androgynous face and is very particular about his clothes. In episode 6, he receives a canary from Shishio, and there's also a scene where he appears with it. The character is based on Baker Street Irregulars from the novels.
