Contents
Background
A murder mystery book series originally written by author Nintaro Shinmei, and continued by his daughter Kaori, that has received a television follow-up, with Samonji's role being performed by the actor Osamu Kenzaki. The ID of the murderer changes each time to maintain viewer interest. Both Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo enjoy the series. The series would later add three assistants for Samonji, comprising of a bumbling detective, a tomboyish girl and a know-it-all kid with glasses (all patterned after Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa, respectively, following their aid to Kaori Shinmei in finding her missing father). [1] Samonji's full name is Samonji Matsuda (松田左文字 Matsuda Samonji).[2] In the Funimation Dub, the character's name is Detective Simon.
