Background
Yakumaru is a Ministry of Health's narcotics officer and investigator for at least a while, since he is put on a big case. He is also a pharmaceutical student at an university in Osaka and lives near Kazuha's home. He has at disposition many men who can use in missions, which proposes his rank is high. He is also the one directly contacting the head of investigations of the Ministry of Health. He has a certain basis in knowledge about pharma and drugs, which gave him the opportunity to be hired.
Personality
He is serious on mission and does the job right. He can easily camouflage himself, since Heiji mistook him for a drug dealer. He is pretty kind towards Kazuha, since she is his neighbor, and even orders his men to protect her, which Heiji thought was a kidnapping.
Appearance
He is a tall and skinny young man. He has white dyed hair and is dressed leniently, since he needs to do so to blend in with the drug dealers. He also has a lizard-shaped black tatto and a piercing on his nose. He has light beard. His appearance is allowed by the Ministry of Health, since he is not exactly a police detective.

Drug Trading Case (Manga: 879-881, Anime: 763-764)
The Detective Boys encounter a drug dealer, who pushes them and runs away as he is chased by officers. They see that he dropped a map and deduce with Heiji that it shows the destination of drug trades, and that the last one would be on the Ebisu bridge in Osaka, to which Heiji and Kazuha decide to go to. Arrived there, they see three suspicious men and find out Yakumaru, who was talking to Kazuha, was supposed to be the drug trader. Then, thinking he is going to kidnap Kazuha, Heiji yells at him and tries to fight, but he finds out that the drug dealers were disarmed and that he was a narcotics officer.
