Shirou Kuramori

Kuramori had dreams of becoming a great detective like Sherlock Holmes. This caused him to use poor judgment and risk his life in hopes of making it big. However, after learning of the parasites, he chose his family and life over the job. After his family is killed, he became depressed. Kuramori was initially insensitive with Shinichi's situation, telling the youth that he should turn himself in even if it means being a lab rat for the sake of humanity. However, the private investigator later apologizes later when realizing the risks Shinichi had involved himself in when fighting against the parasites. After the death of his wife and daughter, Kuramori is shown to have grown very sympathetic for how Shinichi lost his mother. During his final moments, when Hirama asks the identity of his unknown partner, Kuramori responds in how much Shinichi had suffered because of the parasites. However, respecting Shinichi’s wishes, he chose to keep his partner’s identity anonymous.  He is mentioned to be good with kids, having had experience as a stay-at-home father while his wife worked after their daughter was born. 

Kuramori was a man of average height and weight. He had brown hair, which he kept combed, and a long face with a prominent nose. Being a detective, Kuramori often dressed in suits and business attire.
