About Matsuda Jinpei
Q1: At the very beginning of the story, what was the trigger that started his fight with Furuya?
A: Something probably got on Matsuda’s nerves (laughs)

Q2: Around how long ago did he get a false tooth? Did his tooth come off during a fight?
A: I guess it snapped during a fight in his high school years...

Q3: At around what age did he first meet Hagiwara?
A: Elementary school.

Q4: He appears to be a different type of person than Hagiwara-san, so how did they get along?
A: Since Hagiwara’s house was a car repair shop, I guess he thought he had to get along with him.

Q5: When he doesn’t say “Hagi”, but “Hagiwara”, is there a difference in his state of mind?
A: When he’s slightly serious (laughs)

Q6: He was eating curry a lot at the cafeteria, was that your influence, Aoyama-sensei?
A: That’s right.

Q7: What is the first thing he dismantled?
A: An electric fan.

Q8: What is the thing Matsuda tore apart and got the most scolded for doing that ?
A: Hagiwara's big sister's cell phone (laughs)

Q9: Does he usually walk around while carrying tools?
A: That’s right.

Q10: Is he ambidextrous?
A: He’s right-handed.

Q11: If he has nimble fingers, does that mean sewing is his specialty?
A: If I were to tell you, I think he’s extremely skilled at that.

Q12: He was lying down on a risky spot on the roof, does he like tall places?
A: He likes them.

Q13: Is his hair naturally curly? Or does he have a perm?
A: It’s naturally curly.

Q14: He’s yawning often, does he lack sleep?
A: It’s because Matsuda Yuusaku, who appeared in “Taiyou ni hoero!”, was yawning a lot. (TN: “Taiyou ni Hoero” is one of the most iconic detective series that aired on Japanese television. It helped launch several actors’ careers, including Matsuda Yuusaku and Hagiwara Kenichi, probably inspirations for the two homonym characters.)

Q15 : When did he first fall in love?
A : Around Elementary school, Hagiwara’s sister, love at first sight (laughs)

Q16 : Did the police officer who made a false arrest on Matsuda’s father and the one who proved his innocence appear in the main manga?
A : I don’t think they did.

Q17 : Did he actually punch hard the Superintendent General ?
A : "Read the last chapter (laughs)"

About Date Wataru
Q18 : Please tell me about his meeting with Natalie and the start of their love ♡
A : He caught the guy who snatched Natalie’s bag when he was a college student.

Q19: Date-san always has good leadership, but how was it in front of Natalie-san?
A: I think Date was blushing like mad, and Natalie took the lead, perhaps.

Q20: On his first date with Natalie-san, where did they go?
A: Well, of course, Tropical Land (laughs)

Q21: Please explain to what part of Natalie-san was he drawn to♡
A: I guess, the fact that he feels relieved when he talks to her, perhaps (laughs)

Q22: Does he make a phone call to his girlfriend everyday?
A: Not everyday, but something close to that (laughs)

Q23 : Did heget to introduce his girlfriend to the other 4?
A : I think he showed them a photo of her.

Q24: He’s always chewing on a toothpick, but does he have other habits?
A: He hangs his MPD admission card around his neck, without putting it in his breast pocket.

Q25: It looks like he hasn’t met with his dad for a long time, did he start living alone early on?
A: He started living alone after becoming a college student.

Q26: I think he has a slightly old-looking face, does he get told that a lot?
A: I guess he does.

Q27: Did Date ever get mad and fight with someone in the squad?
A: I don’t think so.

Q28 : Does Date’s height exceed 2 meters?
A : It might (laughs)

Q29: Before joining the Police Academy, was he practicing some kind of martial art?
A: He looks strong in both Kendo and Judo.

Q30: How many kilograms is his grip strength? Among the five of them, is it the strongest?
A: It’s the strongest.

Q31: Matsuda-san said he would win if it was just a fist fight, but what if it really happened?
A: I think he would be a good match.

Q32: Did Date’s last name come from the official Date Masamune?
A: I wanted to give him a strong-looking name, so it might come from the official Date Masamune. (T/N: Date Masamune was a daimyo that ruled the Tohoku region in Japan, contemporary of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.)

Q33: Does Date-san love Datemaki?
A: Huh? (T/N: Datemaki is a rolled omelet mixed with fish, but does also have a vulgar connotation, hence the blank.)

Q34: Did he volunteer himself for the position of “squad leader”?
A: It was an order from the instructor.

Q35 : Date is called “ Squad leader “ “ Date squad leader “ by everyone, but do they still call him that even after they graduated? A : In fact, that’s right. (Lol)

About Furuya Rei
Q36: What impetus led him to start boxing?
A: I don’t really know much, but it was in order to protect Elena.

Q37: When did Zero and Hiro meet? Again, I would like you to draw a warm episode about their childhood...!
A: Read the Hiro arc.

Q38: When were born Rei-kun and Hiromitsu-kun’s strong bonds, which draw near to unshakeable trust in each other?
A: I’m serious, read it!

Q39: Did he often get his injuries treated by Hiromitsu-kun?
A: Seems he did.

Q40 : Did he fight with Hiro-san too?
A : Well, we say "they are good friends enough to quarrel", right (laughs)

Q41: Did he solve troubles with other students with his fists? Or with words?
A: Fists were Matsuda only (laughs)

Q42: He said his reason for becoming a police officer was to search for Elena-san, but did his patriotism strong enough to call Japan his girlfriend sprout after that?
A: Exactly.

Q43: If Furuya-san didn’t have to search for Elena-sensei’s whereabouts, what kind of profession do you think he would’ve assumed?
A: He looks like he could’ve become a detective. (laughs)

Q44: He gave a harsh rating of 2 points to Matsuda-kun’s pun, but he actually liked it, right? (laughs)
A: Right (laughs)

Q45: Were his shooting skills excellent because he learned that from someone else since the beginning? Or is it because he seems like a genius?
A: Because he seems like a genius.

Q46: During the arrest techniques lesson, he lost to Date-san after being concerned by his injury, but did he win every match after?
A: He did.

Q47: The fact that he can manage correctly in English is because of his familial environment? Or is that the result of him studying seriously?
A : Because of his familial environment.

About everyone
Q48 : When did the idea of making these five a police academy squad get decided?
A: In “The Darkest Nightmare”, when I decided to make Furuya Matsuda’s classmate.

Q49 : Why are the titles yojijukugo (Four characters compound) ?
A: Because it's cool.

Q50: I want you to tell me their blood-type! I beg you!
A: Please put which one you’d like for each of them.

Q51: I wanna know those five’s deduction skill ranking.
A : It’s hard to tell who is better than whom.

Q52: They seem to start early in the morning, do they all wake up well? Did someone oversleep once?
A: Some way or another, everyone looks like they are punctual.

Q53 : Date-san has a girlfriend, Hagiwara-kun seems to have experience in love as well seeing how he’s good with ladies, but do the other 3 have experience in love?
A : I’ll leave that to your imagination (laughs).

Q54: When Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Morofushi enter the convenience store while saying “Wassuup”, are each of their clothes their personal belongings? Or did they borrow them from someone else?
A: They borrowed all of them from Hagiwara.
