Karasuma is Japan's richest man, although he has been dead for forty years, but he could still be alive by using [[APTX 4869]] or any sort of drug. If we still use the theory Karasuma has taken a drug and rejuvenated, he could have disguised as Katsumata, who is about 50-year-old. Their body shape is similar since both are slightly big and Karasuma could use fake glasses or dye his hair brown. Another speculation is that if we interchange letters in Chikara's name, it can point to the boss: Chikara Katsumata = Hikkata Karasuma (in japanese meaning "The Great Karasuma"). Both are wise and quiet, and Chikara is in some of APTX's victims vicinity since he knows Shukichi Haneda, his direct rival who is ultimately related to [[Mary Sera]] and Kohji Haneda. More suspiciously, he is one of the only Rum Arc characters to not have been introduced in a suspects' box. It is unclear if he'll appear again since it has been at least 50 episodes he hasn't done so and Gosho hasn't yet revealed anything about him.</spoiler>
